6th August 2009

At the start of the 09/10 season the Hound fielded a new looking team. Well, the team looked new but the team members certainly didn't.

Playing under the moniker of 'The return of the hound' and due to a spate of last minute withdrawals and injuries, quiz debuts were handed to Tina and Alistair.

Robin's pre match briefing to Tina was;
"basically we need you to take Kevster's role and if there's anything we see, that we don't like, you riot". This was a role that Tina fulfilled admirably, successfully arguing with the quiz master that Thailand is actually further south than Cambodia and thus winning us an extra point.

The first round kicked things off, which is the norm and, as is the norm, we struggled with the early pace in a round that was quite frankly, eclectic.

However, the second round found us settling down and playing some quite attractive quizzing. This saw us entering the final round in first place. Some particularly pleasing answers were; Maroon5, Beetroot, The Truman Show and Richard III

However, the pace and the pressure started to tell and some tired minds started to make elementary mistakes especially in the True or false round (is it true? Or is it false?)

Unsurprisingly, when the final scores were read out, we found ourselves in a play off with all the other teams.

The tie break question was along the lines of 'What is the highest number of credited actors in a British film' and much to our amazement our answer of 243 turned out to be the closest.

So the Hound claimed the crate of beer and 3 points and Tina and Alistair go away with stats of played 1 won 1.

On to next week then.
