Lancashire county player Marianne Waud produced a commanding run to win the 2022 Ladies Champion of Champions title.
The event brought together leading players in one of the major titles on the English pool calendar, and Marianne’s route to the trophy included two particularly notable matches.
Semi-final: Marianne Waud defeats Emma Cunningham
In the semi-final, Marianne faced the highly decorated Emma Cunningham. Coming through that match put the Lancashire player into a final against Barbara Taylor, who had recently been crowned world champion.
Final: Waud beats Barbara Taylor 6-0
The anticipated final turned into a remarkable display from Marianne. She concentrated on her own game and completed a 6-0 victory to secure the Ladies Champion of Champions title.
A whitewash in a final of that stature made the achievement especially memorable and added another significant national title to Lancashire’s pool record.
A Lancashire achievement
Lancashire County Pool congratulated Marianne on a superb performance and title win. Her success sits alongside a long list of county players who have represented Lancashire at the highest levels of English eight-ball pool.
