English Open snooker: Trophy named after Steve Davis

The winner of snooker's new English Open event in Manchester will receive the Steve Davis Trophy, in tribute to the six-time world champion.

Davis retired from playing in April, following a professional career that spanned five decades.

The event - from 10-16 October - is part of the new Home Nations series, with the winner receiving £70,000.

Any player who also wins the Northern Ireland, Scottish and Welsh Opens will earn a £1m bonus.
