Reanne Evans defeats Emma Bonney 3-0 in final, reaches 84-0: 2011 Connie Gough National Championship
The six-time World Ladies Snooker champion Reanne Evans ousted Portsmouth’s Emma Bonney 3-0 in the final clash of Connie Gough National Championship 2011 at Fareham Snooker Club in Hampshire, England
on Sunday, March 13. The event was sponsored by Paul Wood, who is one of the major ladies snooker sponsors.
The five-time UK Ladies champion from Dudley, Evans ensured her 3-0 whitewash victory over world ladies number three, Bonney, with complete control on the game. Evans didn’t let the five-time World
Ladies Billiard champion avail any opportunity to come out on top during the match.
World number one, Evans has clinched her fourth overall and third consecutive Connie Gough National Championship title, 2004, 2009, 2010 and 2011. The three-time World Ladies British Open champion,
Evans, swept the table in no time in the first frame of the Connie Gough National Championship 2011 final smashing a stunning knock of 65 points to clinch the frame 77-44.
Evans overcame Bonney outstandingly in the second frame completely outclassing the 34-year-old by some excellent potting to snatch the frame 68-10 and take 2-0 lead in the match.
The 25-year-old Evans continued her dominance in the third frame of best-of-five frames final match. The Hampshire’s own Emma Bonney drove back hard in the third frame but was put down by Evans. She
pocketed a superb 76-point knock to grab the frame 76-38 as well as the final match victory by 3-0.
While speaking to the local media after her victory, she said, "I don't like to give too many chances away," she said. "I played some good safety and that got me in. Emma missed a couple."
With this victory she extended her unbeaten streak to 84 and grabbed her 28th ranking title since 2001 when she started to participate in the world professional tours at the age of just
15 years. She was motivated highly by her snooker coach Neil Selman to take part in the professional snooker.
After gaining the 84-0 status, Evans said, "Hopefully I can carry on the run,"
Evans was beaten last time on March 1, 2008 in the final of the same event, Connie Gough National Championship 2008, at Luton. She was beaten by Ronnie O’Sullivan’s cousin Maria Catalano 2-3 in the
final. After that she started winning and she is still going well.
She compiled her half century of consecutive victories in the last-16 match of 2010 World Ladies South Coast Classic Championship when she whitewashed Wiltshire’s Gaye Jones 3-0. She won the tournament,
her 21st ranking title, third time beating Maria Catalano 3-1 in the final at the Q-Ball Snooker Club, Eastbourne on Saturday, February 6, 2010.
In October 2010, Evans broke Kelly Fisher’s record of 69 consecutive wins after she defeated Marianne Williams of Surrey 3-0 in the quarter-final of the East Anglian Championship 2010 held at Cambridge
Snooker Centre on her 25th birthday on October 25.
She grabbed the title for the third time defeating her compatriot, the 29-year-old Maria Catalano 3-0 in the final on October, 27. The 2010 East Anglian Championship was her 25th ranking
title and 72nd consecutive win of her professional career in the world ladies snooker circuit.
If she continues to take her opponents down the same way, she might hit the century mark of her unbeaten streak soon. She’s surely a living legend of ladies snooker world.
