Haynes was leading 6 -3 and despite cutting her lead to just one, Haynes held on to win the Championship.

Her opponent, Lynne Pinches , refused to play after raising concerns over the fairness of the match.

Pinches later said: “Whenever you play a transgender player, even if you win, it doesn’t make any difference because in your heart, you know it’s unfair.” The English Pool Association and World Eightball Pool Federation currently permit transgender athletes to compete without restriction.
