Thailand’s Nutcharut Wongharuthai made a 147 break during a practice match in her homeland – believed to be the first maximum by a woman in snooker history.

The 19-year-old, commonly known as ‘Mink’, made the break at the Hi-End Snooker Club on Monday.

World women's snooker said that while it was difficult to completely verify, it did appear it was the first maximum by a woman.
