2010 SCOTTISH LADIES BLACKBALL POOL TOUR
Event No. 2 – 26th June, 2010
Hustlers Pool Hall, Rosyth.

The second event of this year’s tour provided the ladies with yet another new Venue. Hustler’s pool hall in Rosyth is run by Daz Adamson and is a fantastic venue for pool.

A big welcome was extended to two new players for this event, Shetland’s Anne Irvine and newcomer to the pool scene from Dundee, Nicola Treanor. Welcome to the tour ladies. A few players were unable to make the first event which resulted in twenty five ladies descending on Hustlers, Rosyth at 11:00 Hrs for Event two.

The fifth year of the Scottish ladies blackball tour gave us a new venue for the event, the lovely Corner Pocket in Falkirk. The tour is mandatory for all Scotland Ladies International Players with the World Masters Championships in Bridlington just around the corner a good turnout was expected.  I am pleased to see new talent continuing to emerge throughout the ladies game in Scotland, long may this continue.
A few players were unable to make the first event which resulted in twenty six ladies descending on The Corner Pocket, Falkirk at 11:00 Hrs for Event 1.

The weekend of 7th & 8th November, 2001 was the date for the 2009 Scottish Ladies Singles Championship. Defending champion Leanne Evans had moved back to Wales and was therefore ineligible to play in this year’s Championship. The venue was the well known and rumored “venue for the new pool academy for Scotland” Hustlers Pool Hall in Rosyth. Thanks to Daz and Tracey for their continued and invaluable support for pool events in Scotland.
Thirty nine players had registered for the event and some new and old faces appeared to compete for the title of 2009 Scottish Ladies Champion.
