The quiz resumed on Wednesday night last (19^th November) in conditions that were frosty and unwelcoming. Inside the club the conditions were just frosty - at least for former champions Celtic Boys who had an appeal to popular acclaim roundly dismissed when they argued that all plants are trees. The quiz hierarchy could not stretch the conventions of quizzing to give them the point they would need to fend off the inevitable march to victory of other former champions Wizard. The Quizmaster will not be on Christy McDonnell’s Christmas card list – nor will Michael or Sara.

With Wizard beating Celtic Boys by a point, it was left to much improved Quiztopher Columbus to take third spot on the night. Reigning champions Corner Boys finished fourth, and honourable mentions go to Celtic Warriors and the returning Stars of the Sea. Another honourable mention must go to Harmerang because they asked for one!

Erstwhile champions Wizard take a commanding lead in the overall leaderboard (available on the club Noticeboard), but with discards still widely available there are opportunities for all teams to improve their positions.

Finally, although Martin McCarthy must remain nameless, it should be noted that Motor Buoys  - note the name of the team! – were not able to answer the question that called for the correct spelling of ‘buoy’.

The next quiz will take place on December 3^rd, at 8pm sharp!
