Roy Andrewartha (born 23 April 1938) is a Welsh former professional snooker player.

Career

Born in 1938, Andrewartha lost in the 1976 final of the English Amateur Championship and also played in the World Amateur Snooker Championship in Johannesburg later in 1976. He turned professional soon afterwards. As an amateur he had played against Ray Reardon in the 1976 Canadian Club Masters; Reardon won 3–2.

In qualifying for the 1977 World Championship, the first to be held at the Crucible Theatre, Andrewartha faced John Virgo, but lost 1–11. He again failed to make any real progress the following year, whitewashing Jack Karnehm 9–0 before being defeated 3–9 by Doug Mountjoy in the last 24.

In the 1978/1979 season, Andrewartha reached the quarter-finals of the 1978 UK Championship. In his last-24 match, Pat Houlihan had held him to 3–3 but Andrewartha won 9–3; the next was a more difficult encounter with John Spencer, the incumbent World Champion, but this resulted in a 9–8 win. At the quarter-final stage, he again met Mountjoy and was defeated, this time 4–9.

At the 1980 UK Championship, Andrewartha again made some progress; he defeated Tony Knowles 9–8 and the ageing John Pulman 9–6, but lost 3–9 to Reardon in the last 16.

Being Welsh born he played in the Welsh Professional Championship from 1981 to 1984.

The next time Andrewartha reached the latter stages of a major event was at the 1984 World Championship, where he beat Eddie McLaughlin 10–8 and Mark Wildman 10–9 to qualify for the first round at the Crucible Theatre for the first time, aged 45. Facing Eddie Charlton, Andrewartha lost 4–10.

Ranked 47th in the world for the 1984/1985 season, Andrewartha played only two matches therein; he lost 0–5 to Danny Fowler at the 1984 International Open, and 2–5 to Dave Chalmers in that year's Grand Prix. He did not enter another tournament, and left professional snooker at this point.
