This week we played at home to The Baths - old friends and adversaries.
The Baths went storming into the lead on the Specialist questions and the Wonderers were soon trailing by something like 20 points. However, they proved to be strong finishers towards the end of the Specialist and eventually pulled back to 47 points against the Baths' 54.
Chastened, the Wonderers played steadily with very few wasted points eventually picking up a total of 128 to the visitors' 116. Individual scores were Bob 12/15, Wendy 9/12, Nick 6/15 and Tomo 6/12. Conferred points were 8/12, and passovers 8/9; significantly the Baths got an astonishing 26 passovers, 15 from the Specialist rounds where the Wonderers really struggled.
Despite not knowing the answers we thought the questions were imaginative and interesting and marked them highly.
An inexperienced Louise from The Lamb was question master and carried her duties with aplomb and good humour. A pleasant evening out.
