Women’s World Championship News
After today’s play in Cairo the quarter finalists are known. Six from Egypt, one from Ireland, and one from Australia. In an exciting match Jane Shorten of Ireland beat Carole Jackson of South Africa 7-6, 7-6. A wrong ball error by Dallas Cooke (NZ) at the beginning of the third game was costly as Sherin Hamdi (Egypt) ran a number of long hoops to win the third game. Christine Pont (Australia) beat Julie Hudson (England) with a long series of very consistent hoop approaches. Two of the favourites Nahed Hassan and Abir Moustafa won in two games.
