The end of the 2008 Ladies tour saw an exciting finish to the fight for top spot. With Emma Cunningham provisionally ranked number 1 going into the final tour on 88 points and Sue close behind with 84, it was always going to be a tense finish to the season and all down to this performance.
As the first days play came to an end both players were comfortably through to the quarter final stages, and each won through their Sunday morning 9am fixture with the same score line of 6-3. The semi’s saw Sue matched up against current world champion Lynette Horsburgh and Emma was to play Tour 4 winner Collette Henriksen. Both games were very close fought battles ending in final frame deciders. It was Sue to prevail from the all Scottish affair but Emma’s hopes of starting the new season as number 1 were dashed as Welsh international Collette won through to the final. Sue went on to clinch the final and collected the 14 points awarded to the winner with Emma taking 8 points for the semi final appearance. This means Sue will start as number 1 with 98 points with Emma following closely on 96.
With an excellent finish to yet another very successful year on the ladies tour we would like to thank all of the players for their continued support. We look forward to seeing you all next year and welcome any new players to the 2009 EPA international tour.
