"The Winners" were 7th and the Kings were conspicious by their absence!

And dare I say that despite their (blind) optimism in calling themselves "The Winners", they are improving at a rate whereby they maybe future winners, but I think we could be talking years or even decades as opposed to weeks! They are however the most delightful participants. The same can be said of "Round the Bend" who this evening were overheard accusingly several times when going through the answers to say 'I said it was that'. Unbeknown to them however as they departed before the awarding of prizes, they were the winners of the bottle of house wine prize for being second to last - Kerry will make sure they get their prize next time they're in.

Three teams competed for the £50 bar voucher first prize. After the first half of the quiz the bookies odds-on favourite with form over the distance was "Cats like Felix" who were clear leaders with the odds rapidly shortening on outsider "Bonnies Brains" who were only a point and a half behind. On the heavy ground however, it was "One stinking Bishop and a laughing Cow" who maintained a steady pace and kept up with the leaders early on and then illustrated staying power over the final furlongs to win by three and a half lengths. (Excuse the horse racing metaphors).

All teams played for the £55 Jackpot cash prize, but disappointingly I didn't have my glamorous assistant, Mum - Mrs King. "Bonnies Brains" however won through to 'Play Your Cards Right'. It all started so well in turning over an ace as the base card. They of course went higher and turned over a nine. They then went lower and unfortunately that's where it all ended. Regretful as it was, on the plus side, the Jackpot increases to £71 and rolls over to the next quiz on Thursday 19th March. Hopefully see you all again then.
