Judd Trump took a potshot at Mark King after an agonising final frame defeat to the Londoner at the Maplin UK Championship in Telford.

The Bristol potter was upset with his opponent's swearing during yesterday's match, an offence which usually results in a warning from the referee and even the deduction of a frame.

In extreme circumstances a player can even lose the match if he has been warned for swearing on more than one occasion.

But match official Leo Scullion refused to discipline King who, despite his bad behaviour, as he clinched a dramatic 9-8 victory.

"He was getting frustrated and swearing during the match," said Trump. "He shouldn't be doing that.

"He kept swearing every time he played a bad shot, every time someone said 'come on Judd'.

"It was silly of him. It didn't really put me off, but it just made me want to beat him.

"He didn't get warned once, he should have lost the match really," said Trump. "He swore at least 10 times."

Having trailed 6-3, Trump pocketed breaks of 87, 44, 40, 52 and 48 to force the decider.

But despite his best efforts the 19-year-old, a semi-finalist at this season's Royal London Watches Grand Prix, lost out on the final pink ball in the final frame.

"I played alright when I was coming back, I didn't feel any pressure until I was coming back," he added.

"I had a chance in the last frame to win it, but I missed the final pink and rattled it over the pocket.

"I should have won really, he got really lucky in the last frame," added Trump. "I had him at 8-7, he was missing a few, so it's just frustrating.

"I played terrible both days, but I still should have beaten him 9-8.

"I wouldn't say he was the better player, he had more chances and more luck."

Meanwhile, Trowbridge's Stephen Lee progressed at the expense of five-time champion Stephen Hendry.

Lee went 8-7 up with a century break and confidently sealed a 9-7 victory in the next. Lee, who pondered quitting snooker after his first-round exit from the World Championship in April, said: "I've started to enjoy it again. To beat Stephen, I'm over the moon.

"Enjoyment is what it's all about. I wouldn't do it if I didn't like it. I would have probably found something else to do with myself."

Two-time former winner Mark Williams beat Mark Selby 9-7.
