Biography

Georgina Aplin is an English former professional snooker player.

Career

When the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA) opened membership to anyone over the age of 16 who paid the relevant fee, in 1990, Aplin was one of six women to join, along with Allison Fisher, Ann-Marie Farren, Stacey Hillyard, Karen Corr, and Maureen McCarthy, whilst 443 men joined at the same time. Aplin played only one match as a professional, losing 3–5 to Amrik Cheema in the first qualifying round of the 1992 Strachan Open.

Aplin began playing snooker aged 8 on a small table at home. She practised on a full-sized table from the age of 14, and started playing competitively soon afterwards. She reached several women's snooker finals, including the first event of the 1984 Women's Grand Prix, where she lost 1–6 to Sue Foster. Her first tournament win was at the LHC Snooker Association championship in 1987, where she defeated Hillyard 3–0 in the final. She also won the 1987 Carlsberg North Western Championship with a 3–0 defeat of Ann-Marie Farren in the final. Aplin was a losing quarter-finalist in the World Women's Snooker Championship in 1986, 1987, 1989, 1990, 1991 and 1993.
