Quiz Liverpool

19 teams took part in the Big Liverpool Pub Quiz at St Michael's Irish Centre on Sunday 15th April 2016.  In an exciting competition written and presented by Dave Bill of Redtooth Quizzes, a tiebreak was needed to separate the top two teams. A team form the Liverpool Echo finally triumphed to take the £80 top prize and the coveted BLPQ trophy.

The winning team can be seen here with James McGregor, Liverpool Quiz League vice-Chairman, who organised the whole evening. 

TV Quizzers Jenny Ryan, Dave Rainford and Pat Gibson, as well as several members of the Liverpool Quiz League, helped out different teams in each round.

We would like to say thank you to all involved for what turned out to be a great night.  Further pictures can be found on the Gallery page on the menu.

After some very close quarter and semi-final matches, the final of 2016's Ted Riley cup was played between Oxton Cons of Wirral Division 1 and CTK Wanderers of Liverpool Division 2.  Oxton Cons carried a handicap of 4 points, while CTK were slightly better off with a handicap of 18.  You can watch the whole of the match below, or scroll down a bit to see the result.

By the end of round 6 the scores were very close and it looked like Oxton were on course to overhaul the deficit, but CTK won the final two rounds to take the trophy, winning 46-36.
