Good Evans Reanne
Reanne Evans has extended her remarkable unbeaten run on the women’s snooker circuit to 46 matches with victory in the East Anglian Championship.
A 3-0 win over Portsmouth’s Emma Bonney in the final at Cambridge Snooker Centre wrapped up the 23-year-old’s 19th World Ladies Billiards & Snooker Association (WLBSA) ranking title.
“I didn’t really give her a shot,” admitted the undisputed world number one. “I played solidly; I only missed one ball.”
The defending champion, who did not drop a frame all day, compiled a 51 in a 3-0 victory against Newcastle’s Pam Wood and eased past world number four Katie Henrick, from Kent, by the same score in the semi-final.
Evans' impressive run dates back to a 3-2 defeat by Maria Catalano in the final of the Connie Gough Invitational in Luton on on March 1, 2008
Evans, who hails from from Dudley in the West Midlands, has collected the winners’ trophy in the last ten WLBSA singles events she has entered with a record of 146 frames for and only 17 against.
However, there is a glimmer of hope for the chasing pack ahead of next month’s British Open in Newmarket.
A clash of dates means that if the three-time IBSF world champion and five-time WLBSA world champion can find a sponsor in time, she will be competing in Hyderabad, India, for the 2009 IBSF World Championships.
The East Anglian Championship was the second of six ranking events on the WLBSA 2009/10 tour.
Derby schoolgirl Hannah Jones defeated eight-time German national champion Natascha Niermann 2-1 in the Plate semi-final and outgunned world number five Eva Palmius 2-1 in the final.
The 13-year-old also picked up the Junior title; accounting for Swindon’s Jodie Symes, 15, 2-0 in the final.
Palmius, from Isleham, Cambs, beat Eastbourne’s Martina Lumsden 2-0 in the Seniors’ final.
