3rd December Home to the Chester Road Tavern

Image result for time for changeTo borrow a phrase from Bob Dylan “The Times They are a’changing” – not only is there a general election in10 days time when many of us hope to see a change of government and a movement towards a fairer society, but this week the Lemmings were playing the Chester Road. It is some years since these two teams clashed but it has always been an enjoyable experience – the visitors have built up a reputation for only playing people with the name Moores but even this was changed this week.

And in a final break in tradition when the visitors won the toss, the Lemmings were surprised to be given first in the specialist – our usual choice when we’ve won the toss.

The Specialist questions were not very popular being very much Trivial Pursuit style but the Lemmings managed to steal a lead of 51 to the visitors 38 and a beer break was welcomed

The General Knowledge were a little better and allowed the Lemmings to increase their lead with 77 to 51 giving  a final score of 128 to 90. It was an enjoyable game steered lightly by Dave from the Nags who was asking the questions.

Individual scores were Bob 12/12, Becky 0/3, Nick 6/12 and Tomo 12/18; Conferred points were 12/16 with 9/16 pass-overs while the visitors pi8cked up 4/7 pass-overs.

More beer and a generous plateful of varied sandwiches rounded off the evening – thank you Brian, the visitors for a pleasant friendly game and to the question master Dave,
