Cuestars girls in action on international circuit
WOKING teenager Jasmine Bolsover climbed one place to 13th on the World Ladies Billiards & Snooker Association rankings followed a quarter-final exit in the Southern Classic.
The 14-year-old Cuestars Silver Tour player defeated Jodie Symes 3-1 in the last-16 at Jesters Snooker Hall, Swindon.
And she put up a great fight against Maria Catalano in the last-eight, knocking in a 30 break and taking a frame off the world number one.
Bolsover and Symes both went out in the first round of the Plate and both were denied the Under-21 title by Derby star Hannah Jones.
Hong Kong’s Ng On Yee accounted for Catalano 4-1 in the final of the G2S Group-sponsored event.
