Reanne Evans extends unbeaten status to 84-0 – Snooker news
The six-time World Ladies Snooker champion, Reanne Evans, extended her unbeaten streak to 84-0, after winning the Connie Gough National Championship 2011 beating Emma Bonney of Portsmouth 3-0, in the final at Fareham Snooker Club, Hampshire, England. The
event was sponsored by Paul Wood, who is one of the major ladies snooker sponsors.
The five-time UK Ladies champion from Dudley ensured her 3-0 whitewash victory over world ladies Number Three, Emma Bonney, with complete control on the game. The world Number One and mother-of-one named, Lauren (Lollipop), 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 – 2004, 2006 and 2009 – 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, the two-time European Ladies Snooker champion (2007 and 2008), overcame Bonney outstandingly in the second frame, completely outclassing the 34-year-old Englishwoman by some excellent potting to snatch the frame 68-10 and take a 2-0 lead in the match.
The 25-year-old continued her dominance in the third frame of best-of-five frames Paul Wood sponsored Connie Gough National Championship 2011 final match. Hampshire’s own, Emma Bonney, drove back hard in the third frame but was put down by two-time World
Ladies Masters champion (2007 and 2008), Reanne Evans. She pocketed 76 with her cue to grab the frame 76-38 as well as the final match 3-0.
With this victory, she extended her unbeaten streak to 84 and grabbed her 28th ranking title since 2001, when the three-time IBSF World Amateur Ladies champion (2004, 2007 and 2008) 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 professional snooker.
Evans saw herself 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 – so far, so good.
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 – previously
in 2007 and 2009 – 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 crashed Marianne Williams of Surrey 3-0 in the quarter-final of the East Anglian Championship 2010 held at Cambridge Snooker Centre. She grabbed the title for the third
time – previously in 2006 and 2008 – 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 is surely a living legend of ladies snooker world.
