After a four years hiatus the Pink Ribbon is back!

I couldn’t be there this year unfortunately due to family circumstances but I’m over the moon that this wonderful event is alive again thanks to the efforts of a group of great people who want to support a great cause whilst doing what they love best … play snooker.

The answer form the snooker community has been tremendous. The tournament has got some 320 entries including the reigning World Champion!

Other notable pros are in the draw as well. Stuart Bingham is the defending champion and the only player to have won this event twice (or more).

The young guns are well represented!

The WDBS players are there too. These guys have been at most of the past Pink Ribbon events and they are a great laugh. They are deaf but somehow always find a way

Reanne Evans and Rebecca Kenna are playing as well with Reanne promoring the event on social media

The club looks absolutely fantastic. Some of those images were shared by Aaron Canavan, the former Seniors Snooker World Champion:

OF course Clive brown is the Tournament director … how he copes with so many matches I will never truly understand! And the brand new pink polo shirt looks fantastic.

Today is the day where the pros enter the (friendly) fray.

And finally, here are is the amateurs rounds draw:

I know that it may not be that easy to read but it can’t be helped! With a bit of patience, and, maybe, a magnifier, you will recognise quite a number of top amateurs and ex-pros in that list.

As a woman, I want to thank all the players who support this great cause, the club, the organisers, the supporting team and the heroic TD! I hope that everyone has a great time. Play well, enjoy and good luck!
