Congratulations to Warwickshire’s “Golden Girl” Trina Gulliver who for a record breaking sixth time has won the Winmau World Masters title. Prior to the finals Trina and Eric Bristow were the only two players to have won their respective events on five occasions but a 5-2 win in the final over Deta Hedman puts Trina way out in front on her own with six wins.
In the last four games Trina won 4-1 against Sweden’s Vicky Pruim while Hedman took out Devon’s Maria O’Brien. The final saw Trina race into a 3-0 lead before her opponent got her first stripe on the board. The fifth leg went to Gulliver and the sixth to Hedman then in the seventh leg the Warwickshire player requiring 72 hit single five, single seventeen and rounded off a superb win with the bull to take the title she last won in 2005.
In the men’s event Warwickshire’s Jamie Hughes reached the semi finals where he bowed out 5-0 to reigning champion Glen Durrant who went on to retain his title with a final win over former Warwickshire man Mark McGeeney.
