Wirral Quiz League

At the end of the season, congratulations go out to Gladly Stoned, who pipped Oxton Conservatives to the First Division title, and to Bebington Hockey who held off a late challenge from Barbarians to win the Second Division Title.

Roundheads and Hoylake LTC have been relegated to Division 2.

After some fine quizzing on Wednesday 20th March 2013 at The Sands Hotel, Ainsdale, the places for the MIMIR final have been decided.
 
The four players, who will contest the final on May 15 at St Francis de Salles Parochial Club in Walton, are Pat Gibson (Ormskirk), Darren Martin (Ormskirk), Ray Oakes (Ormskirk) and DAG Griffiths (Southport & Formby)
 

I realised quite recently that the I had made some errors in the results for the teams in the First Division.  These were caused by a combination of my short-sightedness and fat fingers!  The errors meant that my version of the league table did not quite correspond to that provided by the results secretary.Luckily, the teams involved at the top and bottom of the table were not overly affected by the errors.

The mistakes have now been rectified, both on the results pages and on the individual team pages.

After their recent win over The Lever Club, Bebington Hockey have secured promotion to Division 1.

As there are odd numbers of teams in each division, each week one team will not have a match.

After a hard fought contest at the Unison Social Club in St Helens, Karl Whelan of Hoylake LTC finished as runner up to John Wilson of Old Dog in the Ormskirk League.  Dave Sinclair of Southport & Formby, and Ray Oakes of Ormskirk were the other finalists.
