Round 1 Summary
The highlight of the first round was the victory by Ormskirk Theatre Company on their debut in the competition. They beat Abbey Saints without the need for the handicap.
Rugby Hounds had overcome the handicap by half time, then Red Lion (Burscough) fought back in the second half. With two questions remaining the scores were level, but the first division team just managed to win.
They now meet their local rivals Whippet who produced a good all round team performance to beat three man Unison.
Highest scorers with 22 points were Darren Martin (Unison) and Paul Prior (Ormskirk Tennis Club). Alan Gibbs (Wheatsheaf) scored 20 points which included answering 6 of his own questions. Bill Gerrard (Colliers Arms) and Eric Lupton (Rugby Hounds) also got 6 of their own questions.
Round 2 together with Round 1 of the Plate will be played on Monday April 8th.
