This week sees the annual World Women's Snooker Day staged at the Crucible Theatre and in the latest episode of the WPBSA Snooker Podcast we are joined by cuesports royalty as Allison Fisher MBE recounts the tale of her seventh and final world snooker title.
Host Michael McMullan is joined by Fisher and also compatriot Tessa Davidson, who Fisher bested in the semi-finals of the event and 30 years on remains a force at the top of the women's game.
The pair recall the staging of the spectacular event at the Meridian Hotel and their semi-final showdown, as well as the overall era of women's snooker and the players at the top of the game.
Both Fisher and Davidson also reflect upon the challenges which ultimately led both to step away from snooker during the following years, as well as their continued passion for cuesports which has seen Davidson return to the Tour with renewed passion and success in recent years.
