TWO DAYS to go until the final ranking event of the year for the World Women’s Snooker Tour gets underway as the group stages have been announced for the Eden Women’s Masters to be held at Frames Snooker in Coulsdon.

The event, which will go on from November 17th – 19th, sees 7 groups of four players with a MARQUEE PLAYER in each group.

Group A sees the World No 15 and Woking MARQUEE player Jasmine Bolsover lead the group with Group C Tessa Davidson and Group D the World No 7 Emma Parker, who has been fearless on the Exhibition Circuit in the last couple of years and has won Winchester event three and WACKO 1 in recent weeks.

Last season, Bolsover and Talbot Deegan reached the quarter-finals in Coulsdon, but ran into On Yee and Rebecca Kenna.

Mink Nutcharut eventually ran out the winner – defeating Ng On Yee in the final 4 – 0.

Tessa Davidson knocked in a 114 down in Coulsdon in the 2022 edition as the highest break.

Bolsover, Talbot Deegan, and Parker all performed well in the last weeks in the Snooker Legends 900 and showcased the women’s game brilliantly on TV on SportyStuff – as did Ng On Yee with a steely century in the first weeks and former World no 1 Maria Catalano also gave it a good shot.

Mary Talbot Deegan, who plays in Group E, who had a great run in the Snooker Legends 900 on TV and reached the semi-finals leads group E.

Zoe Killington, Steph Daughtery, and Jamie Hunter lead the other groups for the start of the event on Friday.

There’s a total of 31 entries in the event – down on 49 from last season’s showdown in Coulsdon.
