There is definitely going to be a new champion for the Pool Queen championship as defending champion, Carol ‘Sugar Carol’ Kanzira has not even lasted past the opening round of games.

Infact, Kanzira was lucky to have survived the jaws of defeat when a contentious umpire’s decision granted her two shots much to the disappointment of Nebira.
Kanzira won the game to force a decider that she lost. Her loss was greeted with wild cheers across the Lumas pool arena.
