...........weapon of choice..............

The start of the Quiz League 2015-2016.

The Boss insisted I went............it wasn't the easiest start to the evening having to inform my team mates of the Boss' illness.

Last season we ended up third in the League and lost the Cup Final by a single point......thanks to having to give our opponents a 17 point start due to the handicap.

First match of the new season was a repeat of the Cup Final but on a level field.

Round 1 Drew 5-5
Round 2 Won 9-2
Running total 14-7
Round 3 Lost 5-6
Running total 19-13
Round 4 Lost 0-8 (thanks to a ridiculous misbalance of questions)
Half time 19-21
Round 5 Drew 4-4
Running total 23-25
Round 6 Won 16-4
Running total 39-29
Round 7 Won 5-2
Running total 44-31
Final round Won 5-4
Final score 49-35.

Vengeance!
