Identify That Match!

I think we’re delving back into the mists of time here; possibly something to do with Burroughs & Watts in Leicester Square, but I can’t be more specific than that.

I know it’s not the first ever World Professional Championship in 1927, as that was in Birmingham.

1989 Masters Final- Stephen Hendry beating John Parrott 9-6.

Burroughes & Watts was in Soho Square

Clue…
The winner came from Twickenham

I don't know any players from Twickenham :(

The first time this particular event was played

This is probably the easiest question ever…

I’ll call time on this question as it’s gone on for so long…

ANSWER

The first ever match in the [World] Professional Snooker Championship. It was between Melbourne Inman and Tom Newman. Inman won 8-5.

That was too complicated :( feel free to post a new one though.
