April 5th Final league game home to the Dolphin Dragons

 

So, with apologies to Paul Anker and to Frank Sinatra who helped out

"So now the end is near, and I must face the final curtain ..."

Yes the last game of what has been a very testing season for the Lemmings who started with a team of four and a reserve but played most games with just three. 

Our last game was at home against the Dolphin Drgons who gave us a sound thrashing in the frst half of the season but we were confident as not only was our highest scorer (Jack The Hat) playing but the Tavern was offering the magnificent Eden Valley Citra guaranteed to lift spirits, even the mood of impending doom.

It ws a very pleasant game but history was repeating itself as the Lemmings at the end of the Specialist questions were trailing with 40 points to the visitors 62 - as Marx said ""History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce."



The Lemmings did a little better with the General Knowledge questions that ended with a deficit of 10 and a final score of 117 to 85.

Individual scores were Bob 9/3 Sunil 6/12 Nick 6/6 with conferred (mainly Jack) 14/10 and pass-overs 5/10

But the Citra had worked its magic enriched with a splended selection of sandwiches - many thanks Brian, to the visitors and the question master who guided us briskly through the game.
