Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  E kī ana a Reanne Evans ko tana tono mō te toa o te Ao ko te'mahi, te mate rānei' mō ngā wāhine i roto i te pūkoro. E whai ana te 29-tau-tau mai i Dudley kia noho ko ia te wahine tuatahi ki te tohu mo te Toa o te Ao i Sheffield i tenei marama ka tutaki ia ki te toa o mua a Ken Doherty i te tohu. Kua wikitoria a Evans i ngā taitara ao wāhine tekau, ā, ka tākaro ia ki a Irishman Doherty i Pond's Forge i Sheffield i te Rāhoroi. Kei te whai a Reanne Evans kia noho ko ia te wahine tuatahi ki te eke ki te whakataetae snooker o te Ao. A, i te mea he iti noa iho tana pūkete i te kēmu a ngā tāne, e mōhio ana a Evans me whai wāhi ia. Ahakoa he mea nui, ka nui ake te pēhanga ki a koe. Ka mahi au, ka mate rānei mō ngā wāhine.

'Ki te kore ahau e whiwhi ki te tākaro (i roto i te huinga matua), e tumanako ana ahau (ku ngana ki te tohu ka whakaaweawe) nga kotiro taitamariki no te mea e hiahia ana ratou ki te kite i te heke mai i roto i te kēmu.

I riro i a Doherty te taitara Crucible i te tau 1997, engari e whakaae ana a Evans kei te moemoea ia ki te mahi i te huinga matua, e hiahia ana ia me etahi atu kaitono 128 ki te huinga tuatahi ki te wikitoria i nga whakataetae pai-o-19-whakama. Ko tana hoa whawhai a Ken Doherty i toa i te taitara i te tau 1997 a ko ia anake te mea e tu ana i waenganui i a ia me te Whakataetae. Ka mea ia: 'E hiahia ana te katoa ki te moemoea, ā, i ētahi wā ka tutuki. He uaua rawa te tono, he uaua te wikitoria i te kotahi engari ko te wikitoria i te toru ka tino uaua. 'Me haere koe ki waho ki te tākaro i tō kēmu pai, ā, ko te tūmanako i te rā ka toa koe.
