Results from last nights quiz (1 Viewer)

[peter H]

I set the quiz topics on three basic topics.
(1) The eurovision song contest
(2) The FA Cup
(3) Wales and its environs.

As major events this weekend are The song contest, the FA cup final and most important of all the Funster meet at Carmarthen.

I was most impressed by the quality and above all speed of the correct answers being presented.

Thanks to all who took part.

The results of the top five were as follows:

5th place with 15 points - Catspyjamas
joint 3rd place with 17 points each - Maz and JJ
2nd place with 19 points - Mondo

In first place and next weeks quizsetters with an runaway 32 points - Welshbois

Having looked at the questions, I can safely say that my score for last night would have been Zilch

Oh I did much better, I knew Under Milkwood for a fact and I might have guessed at Malcolm Campbell !!
