Aug 22, 2008 - The Canadian Championship Open and Women's 9-Ball got underway Thursday. The women's division has played down to the last four in the upper bracket.

It was an exciting day at Shooters with the finish of the open snooker and men's 8-ball. First to the snooker action as last night Kirk Stevens defeated Jeff Kennedy in his semi final match and Ton Finstad would win over Fern Loyer.

Going into this event as two of the favourites it wasn't surprising to see Naomi Williams in the A-side final facing Veronique Menard of Quebec. Naomi would keep her winning streak alive on the A-side and send Veronique to battle the winner of the B-side for a chance to be Champion.

Today the knock out stage starts in the snooker, it's no surprise that tournament favourite Alain Robidoux and last years champion Floyd Ziegler are 2 of the 16 earning their way to this stage of the competition.
