Biography

In 1989, Davidson won the UK Championship.[7] In 1991 she won the Western Women's Championship and the Pontins Ladies' Bowl.

At the 1991 Women's World Snooker Championship, Karen Corr won the first frame of her semi-final against Davidson with a fluked pot of the black ball. She then won the second on a re-spotted black, and later the fourth frame with a fluked blue ball on her way to a 5–0 win.[8]

Later in 1991, Davidson made a break of 135 at the British Open, then the highest achieved on the women's tour.[9]

In 1992 she joined the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association[10] and competed in events on the professional circuit for the 1992–93 season.

Davidson took a break of several years from 1995–98, but started competing again and reached the final of the 1998 Regal Welsh Open.[11]

She went on to win the 1998 UK Championship, winning 4–1 in the final against Kelly Fisher after losing the first frame. In the semi-finals, Karen Corr lost her match with Davidson by going in-off the final black in the deciding frame. At this time, outside snooker, Davidson was operating a mobile fish and chip shop with her husband.[2]

After taking a 23-year break from competitive snooker to raise her children, Davidson returned to the tournament circuit during the 2021–22 snooker season and became a successful competitor on the women's Seniors tour (for players over 40). Her recent tournament wins have included the 2022 UK Women's Seniors Championship,[12] the Eden Women's Seniors Masters in 2022 and 2023,[13][14] the Belgian Women's Seniors Open in 2023 and 2024,[15][16] and the World Women’s Seniors Championship in 2022 and 2024.[17] In 2024, she competed in the World Seniors Championship at the Crucible Theatre.[18]
