The Lemmings were question-masters last week so this was the first time the team were together - and playing at home too!!
Facing us was the Chester Road Tavern - clearly a team in depth as this week the team was quite different to the one Nick questioned last week.
The Specialist questions had been set by the Harrington Academicals and were fine, whilst the General Knowledge had been set by the non-existent Shamrock in the form of Andy Ridgeway who had kindly volunteered to do so despite having lost their venue; they were typical of Andy and were quickly dubbed Ridgeway's Revenge.
It seemed a very close match as the leaders swung from side to side but somehow the Lemmings emerged from the Specialist with 63 to the visitors' 42. In the GK rounds despite an encroaching ennui the Lemings picked up 82 to the Chester Road's 68 although the questions put a dampener on the proceedings, Nick having gone brain dead and unable to remember the name of the Home Secretary!! Final score 145 to 110. The question master had put up a valiant struggle against the noise from the ladies' darts game but came through unscathed.Bob and particularly Tomo both scored particularly well.
Individual scores were Bob 18/12, Sunil 12/9, Nick 6/9 and Tomo 15/24 with pass-overs 6/15 and conferred 6/13.
Before venturing out into the cold, wet night Brian produced a huge pan of very hot leek and potato soup that was delicious with crusty bread.
Many thanks to Brian, to the Chester Road Tavern and to the hard-working question master.

Well done all.
Nick - I could do with some tips on forgetting the Home Secretary's name, if you could assist me!!!
Should consider yourself lucky you had some questions
The Home Secretary came on as a late sub - so not in Andy's original set
