2nd February 2012:
Good wins for the Alfie and Eclipse see them pull away at the top of the league. Looking at the table it would appear to be a two-horse race for the title, but if we take into account the games in hand of the chasing pack it’s still all to play for! In the Challenge, a surprise loss for the Alfie sees it tighten up nicely, and, again, those games in hand could still be decisive. Match of the week next week surely has to be the Crown & Anchor vs Hyde, which could allow the the Chestnut Horse to leapfrog them both; we wait with baited breath!
26th January 2012:
Some interesting scores this week which see the top five teams close up with just two points between first and fifth; this could go all the way! Interestingly, the top four play each other next week so it could be an even more interesting table after those matches. In the Challenge, it is increasingly looking like a two-horse race between the Alfie and Hyde, but who knows?
19th January 2012:
A surprise defeat from the Crown & Anchor by the Roebuck has opened up the table a little as both the Alfie and Eclipse scored good wins. In the Challenge, the Crown & Anchor also dropped points to leave the top three to slog it out. Next week sees the top four in the league playing each other, so there may be some more shocks in store!
12th January 2012:
A hard-fought draw at the Alfie with the Crown & Anchor saw the Eclipse grab top slot with their win over the Chestnut Horse. With the Hyde also winning, it can’t get much tighter with the top five teams separated by just two points. Next week sees the Alfie taking the Hyde on in what promises to be an interesting match. In the Challenge, wins for the Hyde and Alfie see them surge ahead of the chasing pack, but it’s still all to play for as one of them will surely drop points next week.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
15th December 2011:
A surprise no-show from the Queen Inn gave a win to the Crown & Anchor and wins for the Alfie and Chestnut Horse saw them through, although the Chestnut Horse had to win the Challenge as their tie-break. The Roebuck and Hyde, therefore, go through as the two highest losers and by a quirk of the draw both teams face the same teams as the first round. The Crown & Anchor will face the Eclipse, and after having eaten all the sandwiches probably need the time off to get fit!! Have a great break and we’ll resume our quizzing on 11th January next year.
8th December 2011:
We’re now at the half-way stage of the league season and there’s no clear leader at the moment. A good win at the Hyde for the Eclipse has tightened things up in the league with just three points separating first from fifth. In the Challenge, it’s a similar story, with just four points from top to fifth. Next week sees the first round of the cup, and with the two highest losers going through to the next round, only one team will be eliminated (and it can’t be the Eclipse!).
30th November 2011:
More good wins for the Crown & Anchor and Hyde Tavern keep them at the top with the Eclipse not far behind. The Chestnut Horse narrowly lost and as the Crown & Anchor have a bye this week it could be tight at the top as we go into the winter break. In the Roebuck Challenge, the Hyde Tavern are going from strength to strength, and the Alfie have a chance of second spot next week if they ca overcome the Queen Inn who have to score any points, although they still seem to be enjoying it all judging by wednesday night!
Please note that due to issues at the Worthies Club, the old (sorry, former) Worthies team will be playing from the Chestnut Horse in Easton for the rest of the season.
23rd November 2011:
The Crown & Anchor maintained their winning form in the league with the Worthies and the King Alfred also winning to grab the top three spots. In the Gallon, we’re still waiting for the Roebuck’s first points, but we’re sure they’ll come soon. With the Alfie not playing next week there’s some good opportunities for the teams below them to leapfrog; but will they??
16th November 2011:
Sad news in that the March Hare have retired from this season as they haven’t been able to manage to field a team. In the league, both top teams, the Crown & Anchor and the Hyde Tavern both lost so the chasing pack took the chance to close the gap, with the Queen Inn recording their first win of the season. In the Gallon, both the Crown & Anchor and Hyde Tavern maintained their unbeaten run, whilst the Roebuck still sit on ‘nil point’. Next week sees the top two in both competitions playing each other - we’re off to watch that one!
9th November 2011:
The Hyde Tavern remain undefeated in both competitions as the Alfie notch up their first win with an emphatic drubbing at the Chestnut Horse. The Crown & Anchor also remain undefeated but had settle for yet another draw, whilst the Roebuck scored their first win in the league but sadly none yet in the Gallon. Fair play to the Crown & Anchor for managing to hold the quiz despite a crowd of students in fancy dress celebrating graduation!!
2nd November 2011:
Another no-show from the March Hare gifts points to the unbeaten Worthies, and the Alfie slip up at the unbeaten Hyde. The Crown & Anchor continue their great start whilst the Roebuck are still looking for their first points of the season in both competitions
26th October 2011:
And we’re off! Well some of us; confusion at the bottom of town between the Crown & Anchor and the Alfie, and a no-show from the March Hare. But good wins for the Worthies and Hyde set up a promising start.
