Obviously too easy for on here, well done Cyril, correct.

Very good question actually and took a bit of working out.

State Express sponsored the event from 1981-83 or thereabouts. Charlton was obviously a cert; was pretty sure about Morgan as although he was Irish he emigrated to Australia in the early 1970's and played for them in a few World Cup's; Ian Anderson was something of a guess. I knew it was too early to be John Campbell or Warren King and Warren Simpson passed away in 1980. Anderson was the only other active Aussie pro I could think of!

Not sure what Q we're up to but,

R373 Anyone?

[The Statman]

ROUND THREE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-THREE

These two players appeared at the Crucible only once, in the same year as each other. Both had a highest break of 80 at the Crucible, and both made that break twice in their Crucible first-round match.

Who are they?

[The Statman]

Oh I forgot a clue: one of them won at least one match.

[dantuck_7]

One of them is Leo Fernandez, 1999 ?

[The Statman]

Hmmm, a bit of an incomplete answer on which for me to comment...

[jaybee136]

Leo Fernandez and Nick Walker

[dantuck_7]

If this is right surely I should get 1/2 a point?!

[The Statman]

Yep those are the correct players. Dan, since you got the more difficult of the two (or so I thought - I expected Nick Walker to come more quickly since there aren't that many players only appearing once who won a match) you can have the first half-point, and jaybee the other half.

So here's the scoreboard after Round 373:
