Wirral Quiz League

After five years in a row of finishing second, Oxton Conservatives are no longer the bridesmaids. They sealed the 1st division title with a narrow 1 point win over We're fourth art thou David.

Many congratulations to them and commiserations to New Broom who have ran them so close all season but can take solace in the runner's up trophy and a place in the Feeny Cup.

Huge congratulations to Bebington Hockey who have sealed the division two title and an immediate return to Wirral division one.

The second promotion spot goes down to the final day of the season. 1 point separates the top 3 and the top 2, Wallaseyans and Roundheads are level on points and only separated by a points difference of 3!

Congratulations to the Wirral 2nd division team for finishing 2nd (of 6) in the President's shield despite having recorded just one point from their first three matches.

The team have now qualified for the Presidential Challenge giving them an opportunity to retain the competition they won last year.

If you would like to be considered for the team in future seasons then please contact Steve Lomas of Aardvarks

Jon Stitcher, Chairman of the Wirral League, who plays for The Plasterers Arms will be appearing on Mastermind this Friday, 12th January.  His specialist subject is the TV show The Inbetweeners.

After the problems experienced with question distribution last week, it has been decided that those matches that could not be played will be rescheduled until later in the season and will be played as double-headers on the dates of the return fixtures (12th/13th March 2018).  An extra set of questions will be provided for these matches.

Ian Jacks of the Plasterers Arms will be appearing on Mastermind this Friday 3rd November at 8.00pm on BBC2.  He will be answering questions on The Alexandria Quartet by Lawrence Durrell.

Please note that this heat was postponed due to the fact that one of the specialist subjects was the US version of House of Cards (featuring Kevin Spacey).  It is not know when (or indeed if) this heat will be transmitted.

The annual league presentation night and pairs competition was held at Thingwall Rec Centre on 24th September 2017.
