For 'The Lancashire Rose' it was a 5-2 win against Deta Hedman in the semi-finals to book her place and she has set a marker down ahead of this weekend's Women's Series.

This came after victories over Vicky Pruim 5-1, Felicia Blay 5-2, Maria O'Brien 5-1 and Christina Cronin 5-0, her class was shown with her average not going under 82 after a 77 average in her opener.
