Sue Thompson was once again in blistering form at the Cambridge tour to make it 4 out of 4 titles for the season. Only dropping an incredible six frames throughout the event, she breezed past Tracey Forster (5-1), World junior snooker champion Hannah Jones (5-1) and Sharon Wright (5-1) on the first day of play. New England International Amy Beauchamp faired best as she took two games off Sue in the Quarters, while Northern Ireland International Michelle Rooney suffered a 6-1 defeat to her in the semis.
Runner-up Amy Coley was delighted to make it through to her first main event final with some great results herself against Cath Slater (5-2) and Stacey McConnell (5-2), before dumping the number 1 seed Emma Cunningham out in the last 16 5-3. She followed that up with 6-4 wins over Liesa Conlin and Julie Fane to take her place against Sue in the final.
However the youngster was overwhelmed by the 10 time World champion, who didn't seem to miss a ball. Sue kept Amy in her seat for most of the match and ran away with a staggering 7-0 victory!
Sue is now 40 points clear at the top of the provisional rankings for 2011 and will be hoping to make it a clean sweep of victories at tour 5 in Kent next month. It will be only the second time in the history of the Ladies Tour that this will have been achieved, as Thompson did back in 2002.
Welsh Wizard Sharon Dickson cruised to the plate prize in style as she too barely dropped any frames enroute to the title. Knocked out of the main event by Amy Beauchamp, Dickson got her second wind in the plate, overcoming Lynn Blackshaw (4-0), Ladies World Masters champion Michelle Brown (4-1), Kerry-Ann Hunt (5-0 QF) and Helen Littlewood (5-2 SF), before running out the 5-2 victor against second-time plate finalist Kerry Griffiths.
