It started badly – Nick and Sunil had popped into the Tavern
for a pint before nipping round the corner to play the Nags Head – fortunately the
Harrington Academicals arrived as they were preparing to leave and saved a
ridiculous situation.
Things could only get better – or could they. The Specialist
rounds found the Lemmings struggling with Jack the Hat (i.e. conferred) leading
the scores with 18 and Nick failing to score – at the end of the Specialist the
Academicals were leading with 63 to 26 – but the Lemmings do well in General
Knowledge.
Flushed with optimism the Lemmings prepared to close the 37
point gap and maintained the form they had in the Specialist rounds to receive
a sound thrashing of 79 to 62 losing the game with 86 to the visitors’ 142.
Individual scores
were Bob 6/9, Sunil 6/6 Nick 0/24 and conferred 13/12 with pass-overs 1/9.
It was a very pleasant game with lots of fun and laughter
rounded off with a fine selection of sandwiches. Many thanks to Brian, to the
Harrington Academicals and the question master.
