  • Second women's title for Hong Kong stars

    NG On Yee continued Hong Kong’s dominance of the women’s snooker circuit this season by cruising to victory in the Northern Championship.

    Ng dispatched defending champion Maria Catalano 3-0 in the second-leg final at the North East Derbyshire Snooker Centre, Clay Cross.

    The 2009 and 2010 IBSF women’s world champion’s first ranking title on the World Ladies Billiards & Snooker Association tour followed her compatriot Jaique Ip Wan In’s triumph in the Agnes Davies Memorial in May.

    “I am very happy to have won,” declared the 21-year-old, who did not drop a frame during the tournament. “I tried my best and concentrated all day.”

    And she added: “(Maria) is very good.”

    Ng’s coach Wayne Griffiths, son of the 1979 world champion Terry Griffiths, said: “(Maria’s) certainly one of the best female players in the world so that was a good result for On Yee.”

    Hong Kong women’s champion Yu Ching Ching was a quarter-final casualty. She was knocked out 3-0 by Ip Wan In, who had finished fourth in this year’s event.

    Vicky Carter, who gave birth to son Noah six weeks ago, lost 3-0 to the eventual champion in the first round and 2-0 to Plate winner Tatjana Vasiljeva, from Latvia, in the semi-finals of the consolation competition.

    Eight-time world champion Reanne Evans missed the tournament as she was attending a World Snooker coaching course in Sheffield.

    Eva Palmius, from Cambridgeshire, took the Seniors title.

      Hopefully the women will continue to improve their skills such as the
      likes of Allison Fisher and then we will be able to see them get TV
      coverage so we can enjoy watching them play.
