    Ng On-yee, the 19-year-old Hong Kong teenager who won the women's title at the ONGC-IBSF World Snooker Championship in India this week, returned to Hong Kong on Friday morning.

    She defeated Kathy Parashis 5-1 in the final of the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited-International Billiards and Snooker Federation World Snooker Championship of Australia held in Hyderabad on Tuesday.

    Arriving at Hong Kong airport with her father and coach Ng Yam-shui, Ng was greeted with flowers by family and friends.

    Ng said she owes her success to her parents and godfather.

    “I would like to thank my mum and dad for their support, and the Hong Kong Billiards Sports Control Council.”

    I would also like to thank my godfather, who operates a snooker club and allows me to practice there,” she told local media.

    Ng said she will begin preparing for the Guangzhou Asian Games next year.

    She is the first Hong Kong player to win the title.
