HISTORY MAKERS 🏆🏆

Last month, 18-year-old Panchaya Channoi became only the second player in history to win the World Women's Championship and World Women's Under-21 Championship in the same year!

China's Bai Yulu first achieved the feat in 2024 👏👏

@SpannersReady 💯 - strangely bad

@richardosman This is up there with the potential for a snooker season without a Davis on it next season. Hope you are well!

@dorokydo @WomensSnooker @Onyee159 Updated on SnookerScores but got a tech issue on the site. Tough finding time between finishing the event and flying home but working on it :)

[Matt @ProSnookerBlog]

What an incredible wek we have had in Dongguan Changping - congratulations to Panchaya - full reflections to follow over the coming days.

🏆 BLACK BALL WIN FOR DENG IN SENIORS FINAL!

Congratulations to our new World Women's Seniors Champion Deng Xin Shun of China - who claimed a dramatic black-ball victory against Han Fang to win the title for the first time earlier today! 👏

The 43-year-old said: "I feel very excited. In those final few shots, I didn’t think too much—I just focused on potting the balls and managed to handle the pressure. Those last few shots was definitely the most memorable moment this week. I was quite nervous out there."

"Changping has really developed a strong snooker identity and built a great platform for the sport. I think women’s snooker will continue to improve in standard. Dongguan overall has a very strong snooker atmosphere—many top players like Ding Junhui, Zhang Anda, and Xiao Guodong all came through here."
