Here is the information so far from the event: - Sorry about the table at the bottom.

SIX countries will be represented at the women’s world snooker championships that kick off in Cambridge on Friday.

Eight-time champion Reanne Evans heads a star-studded international cast for the World Ladies Billiards & Snooker Association’s (WLBSA) showpiece event.

Ladies Doubles opens the four-day jamboree at Cambridge Snooker Centre on Friday morning.

And that afternoon, world number 20 Joe Perry again teams up with Tatjana Vasiljeva (Latvia) in a bid to land a fourth Mixed Doubles title. Also in the running is WLBSA president Mandy Fisher partnering former snooker professional and top billiards player Phil Mumford.

Round-robin group matches for the main event will be played to a finish on Saturday.

Early favourites in the 21-strong field are Evans, bidding for a ninth straight title, world number one Maria Catalano, desperate to claim a first world crown, and six-time world billiards champion Emma Bonney.

Vasiljeva, India’s Chitra Magimairaj and the Hong Kong quartet of Jaique Ip Wan In, Yu Ching Ching, Ng On Yee and So Man Yan will be hoping to take the trophy overseas.

The top three from each of the four groups qualify for the knockout stage on Sunday. The final will be held on Monday morning.

Seems like the Final was very good. Congrats to Reanne and to Hannah too for winning her fifth World Juniors which is some going in any sport. Regards the main event is this her best run too?

Was there any coverage online? Apart from today on Twitter and Hannah uploading a photo of the matrix from Saturday's matches there's not been much mentioned of it. Not on the website.

Yes this is the best run for Hannah at a WLBSA World Championship event. She did make the quarter final of the IBSF World Ladies Championships in Damascus, Syria in 2010 when she had not long turned 14 after finishing 2nd in her group and becoming the youngest player to finish 2nd at a World Champs and the youngest to make the quarter finals. She lost to Wendy Jans who went on to win the event.

There was little coverage online, some on the WLBSA facebook page which I think may be set as a closed group and Mandy Fisher has now taken over the Twitter account, after being voted back on as Chair of the association on Saturday evening, and is tweeting away.

The website, I understand, is going to be updated at sometime by Rob who stood down from his media officer role on the committee? Fingers crossed more information is forthcoming because there are alot of people interested to see the results. There has been quite a few people asking me directly about streaming and hopefully there will be plans in place to stream finals next season although I cannot guarantee that it will happen as it requires internet connections at the venues.
