Brains of the Bay Winners
All good things come to an end. On Wednesday night (1st April â no joke) PĂĄid Cassidyâs Wizard were successful in regaining their Brains of the Bay title.
Wizard have been consistently at the top of the leaderboard for a few seasons now and we are still trying to find out their quiz weaknesses. Next year, questions will be based on the personal lives of Tango, Chancellors, and Harmerang to foil the Brainiest of the Bay.
We suspect that Tango, Chancellors, and Harmerang might not though do any better notwithstanding. T.B.M. finished a strong second overall, close to Wizard, and well clear of the third-placed Celtic Boys who showed strong end-of-season form. Ever reliable Enchantress came fourth overall, with Quiztopher Columbus and Chancellors finishing ahead of weakening former champions Corner Boys, in fifth, sixth and seventh respectively.
Mentions also go to Stars of the Sea, The Dirty Ruckers, and Harmerang for completing the list of the top-ten teams.

Quiz News!
An outstanding performance by the Celtic Boys on Wednesday 18th March saw them take away first prize in the fortnightly quiz, winning by seven clear points. It was not just that they knew their popular and unpopular music, they were ahead of the competition on all topics. The performance was all the better in that they say off former champions and champions-elect Wizard as well as reigning champions, the Corner Boys. Pretenders T.B.M. weakened into fourth, with a teamtastic display by Teamtastic in fifth.
Overall, the leaderboard (available on the club noticeboard) shows that Wizard have an insurmountable lead in the Brains of the Bay with only one round remaining. T.B.M. are in second with Celtic Boys moving up into third.
The next and final quiz of the season will take place on Wednesday 1st April (no joke!). This is a dinner-quiz, with dinner at 7.00 for 7.30, and the quiz starting at 8pmâŠ..sharp!
