Shaw Sinks JPNEWT Season Opener The first JPNEWT event of the 2004 season featured a first-time match-up of six-time world snooker champion Kelly Fisher and Kim Shaw on American soil at Prime Time Sports Bar and Café in Sayreville, NJ.Fisher posted wins over Sueyen Rhee, Stacey Lantz, Sabrina Sasaki, and Romana Dokovic before sending Kim Shaw to the one-loss side to win the hot seat. Shaw posted wins over Pam Ogarek, Diane Policastro, Carol Clark, and Tiffany Nelson before losing to Fisher. Shaw then bested fellow touring pro Romana Dokovic to match up with Fisher again in the finals.
In the finals, Fisher kept up with Shaw, but a jawed 9 ball with the score tied at 3 apiece let Shaw go ahead to 6-3 before Fisher could answer with another game. With the score 6-5, another unforced error by Fisher let Shaw post a two-game lead. Fisher would manage one more game, but it was Shaw that reached 9 first to take the match. Without any doubt, when Fisher learns the strategies and nuances of 9-ball, she will be a force to be reckoned with.JPNEWT thanks owners Kevin and Adam of Prime Time Billiards for their hospitality.
