A game we’d been dreading – when we played the Academicals in the first leg the Lemmings were given a sound thrashing by over 50 points and at the last reckoning the Academicals were sitting proudly at the top of the B League having lost just one game, But bloodied but unbowed the Lemmings welcomed the visitors to a glowing fire, an excellent selection of fine ales and smiling faces behind the bar.
The Specialist we thought to be very good, with a round in which all the answers were fish-related and a good varied selection for the others. Fortunately they fell very much in line with the Lemmings’ interests and they had built a surprising lead of 58 to the visitors’ 33 at the break.
The General Knowledge were not so well received especially having avoided football in the 
Sports round the GK was rather top heavy with soccer questions of one form or another.However both teams played on gamely in excellent spirits – there were two occasions when possible contentious points were awarded to the opposing team with good grace.
Again the Lemmings did well taking the GK with 73 to the visitors’ 63 and taking the game with 137 to 96.
Individual scores were Bob 3/15, Becky 3/6, Nick 18/9 and Tomo 9/12; conferred points were 15/20 with 10/11 pass-overs. The visitors collected 1/5 pass-overs.
It was a very pleasant evening rounded off with a vary varied cheeseboard from Brian with fresh baguette and biscuits with chutney – many thanks for Brian, to the Academics and to Anne the patient and genial question master

Thanks, Nick and very well played.
As ever, it was a convivial evening with excellent beer and food afterwards. The other constant of course is the flow of jokes from Bob, which halted proceedings at one point when Anne, our QM couldn't stop laughing.
I got my worst score for years and seats 1 and 2 for both sides suffered, but these things even out over the course of the season.
It's almost 2 years now since the last post from Alan a Dale (or Matt Rogers after he came out) The blog is a quieter place now.
He is missed
Thanks Dave - I'm so glad you mentioned Matt - the team as a whole and myself in particular miss him very much - a great loss to the quiz, his family and the world at large.
