Ranola Runner-up
at US Open!!!
The finals saw Fisher taking on Filipino newcomer Iris Ranola. Ranola had already scored wins over #1 ranked Allison Fisher and #2 ranked Ga-Young Kim in this event, but nerves brought her Cinderella story to an end against Fisher. Fisher already led 5-0 before Ranola could get on the board, and the sixth rack would be the only rack Ranola would win as Fisher cruised to a 7-1 win and first place on the points list.

Inspiration!
December 2008 a few friends got together to travel up to Bingington, NY to visit long time friend: Florence Fuller, owner of the Pocket Billiard Lounge (retired). Florence held many WPBA sanctioned events for the women over the years. Many of the pros today got their start in her room. Without the help and support of Florence they would not be where they are today. Dawn Hopkins, Linda Haywood Shea, Billy Billing, Jean Balukas just to name a few.
She’s no longer at the realm of the business but she is still shooting a mean game of nine ball. She gets out a couple times a week to remind the wiper snappers they have a lot to learn…
When Florence bought this business she didn’t play at all. Like so many of us, she started a business and fell in love with a the sport. You get some sort of fever; you can’t stop thinking of it. You play out games in your sleep; we have all dreamt that perfect run.
Thanks to Florence Fuller, many women through the years had an opportunity to fulfill their dream. A special thanks to the "Wanderer" Billy for helping make it happen.
 
   
Tour History  
JPNEWT is proud to be a women's tour that is recognized by the WPBA. We started many years ago by Touring Pro Dawn Hopkins when there was a need for a place for the women to play in the Northeast part of the country.
At this point, most of our tournaments take place in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. We would especially like to thank Primetime Billiards in South Amboy, NJ and Comet Billiards in Parsippany, NJ for their continued support! Historically, all of our events have included cash prizes and a qualifier to the WPBA pro events.
Morgan Steinman and Caroline Pao are our most recent Players of the Year and both are now finding success at the next level. 2007 had Morgan take first place and Caroline second at the end of the year. Zinnie Panju, Supadra Boopasook, Candi Rego, Karen Coor, My-Hahn Lac, Sharon O'Hanlon, Buffy Jolie, and Erica Testa rounded out the top 10. We have had many other notable players from across the country join our events and compete.
In 2008, longtime tour coordinator Barbara Stock is turning over the leadership reins to Linda Haywood Shea. We have appreciated all of Barbara's efforts and look forward to the expertise and relationships to come under Linda's guidance. She has a long history with the WPBA and the Northeast tours. Linda can be reached at sheaece@aol.com.
Thank you, for your support of women in billiards!!
