Charlene Chai, our most consistent female performer, has qualified for the World Snooker Ladies Championships in Amsterdam, Holland! After nearly being passed over by national selectors due a technicality, Charlene went on to become the top qualifier, beating four other rivals in a series of gruelling round-robin matches. She will be heading north to KL for a tune-up tournament on the 1 - 10 of November, and subsequently represent Singapore for the real deal in Holland from 18 Nov - 5 December.

As most of you know by now, Team Players Choice will be heavily involved in the upcoming TNP After-5 Pool League.
