The fifth round of the fiercely competitive New Beer Target Quiz League took place on Saturday 6th February. Going into the round, there were four points separating the top two teams after nearly 40 rounds of questions since the quiz started in October. We now have a total of 11 teams jockeying for their place in the Beer Hall of Quiz Fame come the Grand Final on May 8th.
Round 5 turned to be more competitive as the pressure mounts as we approach the crescendo - you can see the latest Quiz League Table opposite. There was no shortage of brain activity and verbal rivalry going on throughout the evening and the final result saw 'The Meadowlarks' triumph in this match with 78 points beating 'The Orphans' into second place by 3 points, 'No Eye Deers' came third with 66 points, 'The Hardest Part' fourth with 65 points, then 'Beer Mugs' fifth with 64 points; 'Better late than never' battled bravely with two team members down but still managed a respectable 6th with 63 points, 'Lynn's Luvlies' came 7th with 49 points and last but most certainly not least 'Nameless' returned with a 52 points. The Wilburys', 'The Grockles' and 'Jude's Gang' gained the minimum 30 points for not being able to make it this time.
We had a new team also - Graham and Christine brought a young and promising team for the first time but couldn't compete as they had 6 members (tough rules aren't they !). Nevertheless they managed a creditable 61 points and seemed to have a lot of fun amongst the fierce rivalry !
So, as things stand with two more rounds before the final 'big four teams' knockout, 'The Hardest Part' are in the lead in the overall League Tables and at the moment are heading for the
coveted 'Brains of Beer' Prize - but only with a very slim five point margin (up from four).
The highest individual score in a match so far is still held by 'The Beer Mugs' with 91 in Round 3 in December - that's a tough score for the others to beat to the other prize for 'The Highest Individual Team Score in a Match'.
It's not too late to join a team if you feel that you are missing out and you will get the minimum 30 points per round up until the point that you join to give you a fighting start. In the meantime, the next round is on Saturday 13th March.Quiz Nights Dates
