Canadian Women's Pool Tour Championship Stop 2009

It was nice to return to the tour after giving birth to baby Navan. I seems to be more focused ont he game even though I had not had much time to practice. The players meeting was nice, there will be some changes for the better to the tour for next year. Farewell to Carolina as CEO and Sue Sepp will take over most responsibilities. The top prizes were given to the players absent due to the World Championships in China. They are 1st place-Brittany Bryant, 2nd place- Naomi Williams, 3rd place- Veronique Menard.

The tournament had 16 or so players. It was a handicapped event.

I played Grace Nakamura in the first round. It was hill-hill. It came down to the last three balls, I missed the seven ball, she ran it out.

The second game was with Carolina Fernandez, Founder of the CWPT, she played well, it cam hill- hill between us as well. It came down to a few final balls that I missed. She rightly won.

I will return next year to help with the tour as the marketer. See you in the next season.

CWPT Ottawa at Tailgators

There was a good turn out at the Tailgators in Ottawa on October 24-25, 2009. I had to face the World Junior Champion Brittany Bryant right off the hop. I was doing well to start, but being 9 months pregnant, due on Monday the 26th of October, I was really off balance. I did my best, made a couple mistakes that I should have used the rake on; in the end she won at a score of 9-1. She capitalized on all of my mistakes.

The next match I faced Christine Gauthier a strong challenger. We've had battles before where she had won. This time was different, I lead the match the whole way and won 9-1. I played the game right. I played safe when I needed to and took my time to make the shots. This victory felt good.

The next match I faced Denise Belanger, she has mostly won when I've played her, but I have won a couple times also. This time she got the win. I lost 9-2.

So I am out of the tournament this time. Naomi Williams won the tournament and Brittany Bryant placed second. These two players normally place high in every tournament. The final results of the Canadian Women's Pool tour are in and see cwpt.ca for those results.

The last event is the Tour championships to be held at VIP on Toronto on November 21-22, 2009
