After being eliminated by Kolbe Poole 3-2 in the Quarter Finals of Championship 1, the Womens Series Championship 2 trophy is headed West as Ramona Belmont reverses that exact scoreline with a 3-2 win.
In a win that almost didn’t happen, Ramona found herself fortunate to be at the table as the last minute counted down.
A positional error by Kolbe on the eightball after she almost executed a really classy out, handed Ramona the opportunity to close the frame out, or let the time expire.
Had Kolbe closed that frame out, we could have seen a different finish with roughly a minute on the match clock.
Ramona, originally from New Zealand had to dust the cobwebs off her cue as it laid untouched for over a decade:
“It feels amazing to win a Pockets Womens Championship. I was so grateful and humbled to get an invite after not playing for over 10 years. Winning is a real bonus for me.”
“I woke up Sunday feeling confident and kept telling myself to keep it simple & stay calm”.
Ramona will have to increase her luggage allowance as she returns home to bring the cue out again this coming weekend.
The Pockets experience has whetted the appetite for Ramona as she takes to the tables again, in an attempt to take part in the Western Australian state team to do battle later this year.
Championship 3 of the Pockets Womens begins on 24th of June.
