Identify That Match!

Not White v Wenbo.

One of those players is correct

Correct. Jones was 9-1 and 60-0, but only won 10-7.

And now Yu Delu is 6 years into a 10 year ban!

First round match at the Crucible. The victor was a Welsh qualifier. His highest break in the entire match was 37.

I’m going to have a stab at Wayne Jones beating Neal Foulds in a deciding frame. Late 80s

Good try but not the one. That match from ‘89 was a pretty turgid affair mind, Jones making a 61 break, the highest of the contest, to win the decider.

I remember it being turgid!

I’ll have a further think…

1997 World Championship- Dominic Dale v Tony Drago.

Is the correct answer!

Second round match at the Crucible between an world champion and an Northern Ireland player which went to an decider and was won by the Northern Ireland player.

2000 Joe Swail beat John Parrott

That is the correct answer.

An Englishman collected his first ranking title, winning the final, 10-6, against an overseas player.

Seem to be struggling with this one

Steve James 1990 Mercantile v Warren King

Feel free to post a new question

The public couldn’t wait for this match. They’d already played recently in a ranking event.

Crucible 1st round…
Former champ v Motor Bike man

Motor Bike man must be Steve James again

So Alex Higgins v Steve James, 1990?

The match included a sixteen red clearance and Higgins sitting quietly in the arena afterwards sipping vodka & oranges whilst the tables were covered and the Crucible emptied. Then he assaulted a Tournament Official on the way to his Press Conference, and announced he was walking away from snooker.

But he was back after a season-long ban; it didn’t get any better though

All correct, of course. I think that was too easy… I just chucked that one in after 8 pints of strongbow…

“You can shove ya snooker up ya jacksy!”

Ed is correct :)

Patiently waiting for a question.

Inaugural final of a newly established (though short-lived) tournament that was conceived by Barry Hearn as a ‘new major’. The major hook for this first edition was that it carried the biggest prize in the sport, with £100,000 going to the winner.

The two finalists also went on to contest the World final that season.

Entirely correct; Davis won 9-5

This match took place in London and was a first…
The victor recovered from 3-5 down to win by three frames.

World Grand Prix final between Ronnie O'Sullivan and Ding Junhui 2018? I don't know if it was in London though.

That match was at Preston Guild Hall
