Allison is First of the Fishers in the Providence Pool

Snooker: Allison Fisher beat Kelly Fisher in the final of the US Open in Providence, Rhode Island to win her 50th title on the Women's Nine Ball Pool Tour.
Allison Fisher, the seven-times women's world champion who emigrated to the United States from Sussex 12 years ago because the game in Britain offered poor financial rewards, won her 50th title on the Women's Nine Ball Pool Tour by beating Kelly Fisher, another English expat, 7-6 in the final of the US Open in Providence, Rhode Island.

Allison, 39, and Kelly stand first and third in the pool tour rankings, separated by another Briton, Karen Corr. On the first day of the Shanghai Masters Stuart Pettman, the world No53 from Preston, beat Cao Kai-Sheng, a Chinese wild card, 5-0 and has a bye to the last 16 because Ronnie O'Sullivan withdrew citing a back injury.
