On the women's side, 18 players were looking to add their name to the champions list. Only one player in the field had even previously been to the finals of the event - Leigh Ann Giles won the event in 2006, and has been runner-up five of the last eight times the event has been contested.
A strong favorite, she secured her spot in the final with a 6-4 win over Sunshine Bernard, who then relegated Tracey Goodyear to a third place finish by a 5-3 score line to set up a rematch for the title. Leigh Ann would not be denied this time, taking top honours with a 7-4 win over Sunshine.
Something to note: As done earlier this year at the 10-ball provincials, a 50/50 draw was done to cover the women's national spot, allowing all of the women's entry fees to remain as prize money.
Payouts:
1st $250 + national spot - Leigh Ann Giles
2nd $160 - Sunshine Bernard
3rd $95 - Tracey Goodyear
4th - $65 - Jennie Saulnier
5th,6th $30 - Lynanne Cutler, Ashley Denny
