Kate Surtees

Kate Surtees was a semi-finalist from series 37. She first appeared on 10 october 1997, beating Janet Nelson, and won a further six games before losing to Brett Smitheram, and was thusly denied the chance to become an octochamp. Returning as #1 seed for the finals, Kate beat Janet Nelson for a second time in the quaerter-finals, before losing to Christine White in the semis. Kate returned the following week for Championship of Champions IX, but was beaten in the first round by Harshan Lamabadusuriya.
