Her quarter final opponent Lorraine Fivey managed two frames against in form Collette, before she faced her toughest opponent in the tournament in the semi's, Lynette Horsburgh. Lynette was no match for Collette though as she eased to a 6-2 win.
Fellow finalist Deb Burchell had some great wins on her way to her first tour final, beating Rachel Tucker (5-2) and Rebecca Osborne (5-2) on day 1, followed by a very impressive 6-2 win over Tour 3 finalist Carly Smith and 6-4 against Tour 3 winner Emma Cunningham.
The final went frame for frame to level out at 2 apiece, before Collette stepped up a gear to not lose another frame and take the Tour 4 prize 7-2.
Ex England legend Jeanette Baptist stepped up to take her first plate event. After Jackie Baker knocked her out of the main event 5-0, there was no stopping Jeanette on her way, beating Donna Elliott (4-0), Julie Mackintosh (4-0) and Lynn Blackshaw (4-2).
