Answer 6

Beats me.

Think about a woman just saying the sentance, "I play snooker".

That's just hot.

There should definately be a league of some sort of the female lovers of snooker. Right on.

Answer 7

There are, but they normally go out in the pre TV qualifying rounds of competitions, so they are not very well known.  If you can get to the qualifyers of the world championships, usually at Blackpool, in January/February you will see a lot of unknown players, who have been on the circuit for quite a few years.

Answer 8

coz they r not intersted.

Answer 9

its not really a sport woman play.
