The Waters Green Rams' General Knowledge questions scored well in the Cars & Vans competition, but not well enough to threaten the top of the table. Their marks for both Difficulty and Balance were well above average, and the Entertainment score was also respectable. The Specialist questions, set by the Pack Horse Bowling Club, scored very well for Balance but comparatively poorly for Difficulty and Entertainment. They were the hardest questions we've had in the League so far this season, but the decent Balance mark suggests that they were equally tricky for both teams.
Overall this week there was a very slight bias in favour of the teams that went "first first". Of the nine games, five were won by teams going "first first", and four went the other way.
The teams winning by going "first first" were the Ox–fford 'C', Wharfies, British Flag, Nags Head and Park Taverners.
Top score of the week was 54, including a "full house" in the GK, by Haydn Thompson of the Ox–fford 'C'. Brian Bogie of the Wharfies was close behind with 51. Only five other players managed personal bests this week.
The closest game of the week was at the Harrington, where the Plough Horntails beat the Harrington 'B' by 122 points to 120.
