India’s Shruthi L beat Anna Lynch from Australia 347-222 to win the Women’s World Billiards Championship title for the second year in a row.
Eight players contested the event and Shruthi L came through the group stage with wins against Eva Palmius, Michelle Cohen and Annette Newman.
The Indian cueist had compiled four half centuries in the opening round, including the tournament high break of 56, and she continued her fine form in the semi-finals as she overcame compatriot Keerath Bhandaal 308-176.
Lynch was the opponent in the title match, having beaten Palmius in the last four, but it was Shruthi L’s day once more as she successfully defended her title with victory at the Landywood Snooker Club.

The next World Billiards event is the Queensland Open which will take place on 21-23 November at the Redcliffe Snooker Club in Queensland, Australia.
