Reanne Evans defeats Emma Bonney to claim seventh successive World Ladies Snooker Championship title
World number one in ladies’ circuit, Reanne Evans, extended her unbeaten streak as she grabbed her record seventh world ladies title at Greene King World Ladies Snooker Championship 2011.
The event took place at Pot Black Sports Bar in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk on Friday, the 8th of April. The champion said that she wanted to continue her unbeaten run in the next matches
after she defeated Emma Bonney with a 5-1 score-line.
The 25-year-old from Dudley sprinted to 3-0 lead in no time. The match seemed decided the moment her opponent, Bonney, failed to capitalise in the first three frames of the match. The cueist from
Portsmouth, Bonney came back in the fourth frame and sparked her cue brilliantly. The 34-year-old confused Evans with tough snookers, which she was unable to handle. Evans made a mistake as she tried to escape from a snooker and gave Bonney the chance she
needed. Bonney clinched the frame and moved within a two-frame margin behind Evans at 3-1.
Evans had a strong resistance from her opponent, Bonny, in the fifth frame after the mid-break interval. Bonney smashed a superb knock of 44, the highest of the match, but failed to unsettle Evans
because she couldn’t get a required snooker. Evans availed the chance and swept the table in no time to extend her lead to 4-1.
Evans, mother-of-two, dug deep in the sixth frame from the start and with a stunning clearance of 42, she clinched her record seventh successive title along with the prize money of £1,000.
After winning the final, Evans said that the match wasn’t the best, performance wise, but she was just happy to grab the victory again and was comfortable with her capability of winning key matches.
In other title matches, the Derby school girl Hannah Jones won her fourth successive World Juniors title after beating Derbyshire’s Naomi Clare 3-0. The 14-year-old fired a couple of decent breaks
of 26 and 24 to do the damage in the final match.
June Banks whitewashed Jan Hughes in the final of World Ladies Seniors title at 3-0 with relative ease and completed her hat-trick of titles. In the World Ladies Billiards title match, Emma Bonney,
who lost to Evans in the snooker final, took her fourth title in a row after thrashing Tina Owen from Somerset with 202-181 score-line.
