Never Ending Quiz

Mark Davis did not qualify in ‘05; he had departed to Andy Hicks in the 4th qualifying round, 10-5

White & Davis have never met in the WC, either the main event or the qualifiers; shockingly, they have only ever played each other FOUR times overall!

A reminder of the question (with the caveat ‘at the World Professional Snooker Championship’).

I am off out to pick up some supplies for the afternoon session so you’ll have to wait for a bit and try to contain yourselves in the interim; If no correct answer is forthcoming upon my return, I shall start to issue clues...(could this be any more exciting? )

It is certainly getting very intense.
Nigel Bond?

Bondy wasn’t there in ‘05; a victim of Tony Drago having one of his good days in the final round of qualifying - the Tornado blowing through by 10-4

Jimmy & Nigel have never played at the Worlds, or in qualifying.

Sexy Fergal

Yes Alex nice seeing you back on the quizzes

Well deciphered

Jimmy beat Fergal 10-5 in 2005, then went down 5-13 to Matthew Stevens. A year later came the Gray defeat, and he hasn’t been back since.

Still, always next year...

Oh b*gger. Now I’ll have to think of another question. Shot meself right in the foot there

Correct Ed :)

I am patiently trying to come up with a question sufficient in it’s construction to satisfy the rigid requirements of this fine thread. Please bear with me, it won’t be too long now...
