President's Trophy

Congratulations to Liverpool who have won the 2025-26 President's Trophy after the final round of matches.  Although losing their only game of the season to the holders Ormskirk, Liverpool (Angela Doyle, Rod Moore, Chris Quinn and Brian Thompson) had done enough in their seven other games to secure the Trophy.

Thanks to Dag Griffiths for running the competition and to all who wrote and read questions and scored.

A special mention should be made of Ormskirk's Pat Gibson who scored a full house on his own questions in both matches on the night.

7th MQL Jubilee Buzzer Tournament - The Final

7th MQL JUBILEE Buzzer Tournament

The seventh MQL Jubilee Buzzer Tournament took place on Saturday 21 February at The Parade in Hoylake.  25 teams from Merseyside and from all across the UK played in an all day competition based upon TV's University Challenge.  Players included Chasers, Eggheads, former Brains of Britain and the current BBC Mastermind. 

Congratulations to Yorkshire (David Stainer, Danny Lardner, Gary Morewood and Lewis Jones) who beat Chaos (Paul Sinha, Oliver Levy, Isabelle Heward and Michael McPartland) in a very close Final match (video above) read by Alexia Jarvis and scored by Nathan Pace. 

The Plate was won by Misfits (Marianne Fairthorne, Max Espensen, Scott Dawson and Richard Aubrey) when they defeated Plate holders Warrington Vikings (Alan Gibbs, Jamie Hall, Derek Moody, Colin Foster, Katie Stoyle and Oli Hanson). 

Derbyshire (Iwan Thomas, Brendan Dawson, Steve Hatcher, Gordon Taylor and David Edwards) retained the Bowl, which they won last year.

Many thanks to our team of readers who asked over 900 questions during the day and our team of writers who composed them.  A special thank you to our hosts at The Parade in Hoylake for welcoming us back once again.

Congratulations too to Jon Stitcher who administers the whole event and to Dan Lawson our question editor.

A final thank you to the teams, many of whom travelled a long way to be with us for a long but hopefully enjoyable day of quizzing.
