WATCH | Women’s Snooker Day Features
Last Wednesday saw the latest successful staging of World Women’s Snooker Day which attracted significant media exposure for the World Women’s Snooker Tour.
Held at the Winter Garden during the Cazoo World Championship, the day was attended by several current Tour players including reigning world champion Baipat Siripaporn, world number one Mink Nutcharut and Seniors number one Tessa Davidson, who were among those featured during the BBC’s live coverage from Sheffield.
There were also additional interviews filmed with players by Shabnam Younus Jewell for BBC Radio and online, as well as further features for WWS which will be available at a later date.
