Collette Henriksen wins the first tour of 2008

Collette was referred to in the presentation as 'the smiling assisan' by tour director Shirley Jewkes, who commented not only on the fantastic pool Collette produces but also how she always plays with a smile.

Collette played excellent pool all weekend only dropping 7 frames enroute to the final. Impressive victories over Sharon Lunn in the quarter final and Sue Thompson in the Semi final lead Collette to the final against number 2 seed Emma Cunningham.

With both players clearly in form this promised to be an excellent display of pool but it was Collette who stormed ahead to clinch victory 7-2.

Leah Willet, Tour 1 plate winner

Having re-qualifed for the England ladies team a month ago, Leah returned to the tour after a year's break in style by claiming the plate prize.

She lost just 7 frames on the way to victory over Sue Ramsbottom in the final, after being knocked out of the main event by Suffolk county team mate Clare Seaman.
