Tour Players World Success!

This month saw many players from the EPA ladies tour compete at the highest level in the Fosters World 8 Ball Pool Championships held at the Imperial Hotel in Blackpool.

Sue Thompson was once again in unstoppable form as she was crowned Ladies World Champion for an incredible 10th time, dashing the hopes of tour seed #1 and former World Champion Emma Cunningham in the final. Thompson admitted she had not been playing at her top level during the event which just goes to show what a great player she is to still win in emphatic style!

After the disappointment of missing out on a World team & singles place, England International Michelle Brown was delighted to become the Ladies World Masters Champion for the first time. She encountered some tough opposition along the way including overall World team players Carly Smith and Barbara Taylor in the final.

Congratulations to Sharon Dickson who captained Team Wales to their first World Championship title, along with tour team mate Collette Henriksen.
