15th February Away to the Chester Road Tavern

 The Chester Road Tavern has been playing in the Quiz League for many years - it is a very cosy and friendly pub and very much a local centre - during our game there was what sounded like an exciting game of dominoes. in the bar area There is an offering of four or five real ales including the excellent Farmers Blonde that was in top condition.



Like the Lemmings, the team has been struggling this season - in fact this was that the one victory the Lemmings had achieved so we were just two points above them on the night.

The questions set by The Poachers were fine with two different rounds to the normal run: one was that each of the answers contained the name of a street in Macclesfield, and the other Highbrow and Lowbrow with two questions and the the same answer for both (say one for opera and one for pop).

Sunil was unfortunately away but Tim from the former Robin Hood team stepped in to cover and Jack The Hat continued to make a valuation contribution.

At the end of the Specialists we were trailing 51 to 42 and 61 to 45 eventual score 117 to 87 -so the two teams are now level - well done CRT!!

Individual scores were Bob 9/3, Tim 9/15 Nick 9/6 conferred 11/16 and passovers 4/5

The game finished with a large selection of sandwiches - many thanks to the landlord, to Tim for helping us out (and scoring very well) and to the team for a very pleasant enjoyable game.
