WR48 #2 Ciana Ni Churraoin met two-time world champion Aisling Reilly in the semifinal of the 2019 WR48 San Francisco. Ni Churraoin was aiming to become just the second woman in WR48 history (Casey) to defeat Reilly in a WR48 match, while also seeking her third WR48 final. Reilly was returning to the WR48 tour after a more than two-year hiatus due to right shoulder surgery and had never lost before the final of any of her previous seven WR48 starts. These two WR48 stars held just one WR48 title between them, as WR48 #1 Catriona Casey had won all but two WR48 events since the start of the tour at the 2013 Simple Green U.S. Open.
Ciana and Aisling had met twice before. With Aisling winning both of those encounters. Could CNC overcome Aisling for what would have been her biggest win on the WR48? CNC won game one in this semifinal clash and we’ll Crunch the Numbers in game two to see how this one unfolded.
