From 29 to 31 October the Winmau World Masters are held this year at the Hull Arena. For the fifth time in the history of the World Masters there will be a winner from Wales.
Julie Gore beats Francis Hoenselaar from the Netherlands in the final with 4-1. In the semi-finals Karin Krappen is stopped by Gore and Lisa Ashton by Hoenselaar. It is the thirteenth time in the career of Hoenselaar she reaches at least the semi-finals in the World Masters, a number that even big names like Mandy Solomons, Deta Hedman and Trina Gulliver do not reach.
