Article from Tim Dunkley.
Low entries for the first event of the season but it is hoped that with a change of administration that we can start to get the numbers back to where they were a couple of years ago.
TYNE and Wear plays host to the world’s two best women snooker players on Sunday.
World number one Maria Catalano and nine-time world champion Reanne Evans will be action in the British Open at Whitley Bay Snooker Centre.
Also on the programme are a Seniors (40+) tournament, an Under-21 competition and a Plate for those not reaching the semi-finals of the main event.
The British Open, last competed for in 2010 and won by Evans, is the first of eight ranking events on the World Ladies Billiards & Snooker Association’s £8,400 2013/14 tour.
Eden Resources - a Singapore-based company that organises seminars, events and training - is sponsoring the Masters and the World Championships to the tune of £5,000.
Cambridge Snooker Centre will host the International Ladies Billiards Championship on September 22.
Meanwhile, Hannah and her sister’s debut on the WLBSA circuit will mean twin billing for the Derby girls in Whitley Bay.
Ten-year-old Ellie Jones - who also enjoys golf, tennis and karate - will join her 17-year-old sibling in the draw that takes place at 9.15am. Play commences at 10am.
