Big thanks to everyone who came tonight. We had pretty pretty well a full house (we had to nick some extra chairs from next door), and raised quite a bit of money which will go towards the young player development and retention.
As one of the markers of the quiz, I thought the questions ( I had not seen them before we started marking) were pretty damn hard! So I was EVER so impressed with just how knowledgeable the teams (I think it was about 18 Kev?) were. All those taking part can take a bow IMO - big respect, guys! I reckon, on that showing, if we had a quiz night against other clubs we'd HAMMER them!!
The Bulls player team (sponsored by Google...
) - the biggest team on the night with ten players - came joint second with a stunning performance, especially with a clean sheet in round 2, and it took a truly outstanding performance (and I jest not!) by "Eccleshill Bulls" to wrest the trophy from them by a narrow margin. But there was sod all between the top ten teams, so that speaks volumes. How many of you knew a bloody lobster had ten legs??? I sure did not! Stupid crustacean!!!
Thanks to the Bulls for letting us have the Legends Suite for the night, and to the players for giving up their evening for a very worthy cause. Was really good chatting to them...what a great group of people they are! And comedians a-plenty! We've some outstanding people playing for our club, guys.
But, most of all, thanks to all of you who came and contributed to a really good night. Together, we CAN make a real difference. And we started tonight. Thank you!
