A top-level pool player has celebrated the “phenomenal success” of her new cue-sports shop in Rosyth.

After becoming European pool champion and the world’s first female snooker referee, Michaela Tabb turned her hand to selling equipment six years ago.

In May this year she opened a physical store named "On Cue World" in Rosyth.

She said: It’s really taken off. It’s a very unique service that we provide, and there’s nowhere else in Scotland that offers what we’ve got.

“The best thing we could have done is get an indoor unit, because we’re just constantly having to restock, which is phenomenal. We should have done it years ago, but it’s easy to say that in hindsight.

Mrs Tabb ran the business from her house in Dunfermline for the first five years, before finding a suitable unit.

She said: “We could have got in somewhere sooner, but I wanted it to be as close to the motorway as possible.

“You can’t really get any closer because we’re right next to it. It took us a couple of months to get it all kitted out and then we opened at the end of May.

“We’ve got people coming from everywhere. Everybody mentions how easy it is to find, because you literally come off the motorway slip-road and you’re there.

“They’re not having to take 10-15 minutes driving through a town centre.”

Customers have travelled from as far as Peterhead to put their hands in their pockets. Mrs Tabb said: “The name’s clearly getting out there, which is great.

“We’re a one-stop shop for any queue sports enthusiast, and there’s very little that we can’t offer.”

Still working as a referee, Mrs Tabb has spent decades in the cue-sports industry. She said: We’ve always been in the queue sports industry since I met my husband 30 years ago. He’s still playing at a very high level, as are my two sons.

“It’s non-stop and I don’t know how we find the time to work to be honest.”
