The final game of the season was played under a heavy cloud – shortly after the sad loss of Rick Davies , another long-standing player passed away: Alan Levitt of The Weaver, although he had played for sever\al teams over the years. There was added poignancy in that Alan had set several of the questions being asked in this last game. See separate blog.
The Lemmings already knew that they were to be relegated whatever the result and the Royal Oak had an interest in how our sister team the Rams got on.
Throughout the specialist rounds the Lemmings felt they were steadily slipping behind, so much so that Wendy stopped keeping score – it therefore came as a great surprise to find that they were ahead by 52 to 47. They fared less well however with the General Knowledge losing with 74 to the visitors’ 75, but still won by the skin of their teeth with 126 to 122.
Individual scores were Bob 6/18, Wendy 9/15, Nick 6/6 and Tomo 15/15; conferred points 12/11, pass-overs 4/9 whilst the visitors collected 5/11 pass-overs.
Further bad news is that both Tomo and Wendy will not be able to play regularly next sea
We have enjoyed the season and it is a pity that it should end on a sombre note
The evening ended with a magnificent supper of sausages, onions and chips – thank you Brian, and thank you to the Royal Oak team for a great game (whom we hope to see in the summer at Nick’s party) and to Graham Bailey who as question master must have been under emotional stress having lost his team member and friend so recently.

I think we've got them worried. We just need a few more good wins now and the season is ours!
Over? What do you mean over?
