Merseyside Quiz Leagues

Welcome to the 2026-27 season.  We hope that you are refreshed and ready for another season of quizzing! 

Many thanks to the League Secretaries and our Distributors who have been working hard to have the question sets ready for us to play.  Thanks also to those teams who are trying out Electronic Quiz Distribution for the first time.  With the rising costs and reduced postal services we hope that EQD will keep us quizzing in the coming years.  Don't worry if you feel you can't use EQD at the moment but do help those teams who are by giving the system a chance and taking along your away passwords when needed.

As mentioned above the first MQL event of the season is the Jubilee Pairs competition that is being hosted this year by the Liverpool QL.  Click here for more details.

Don't forget that there are inter League competitions in the President's Trophy and the President's Shield.  If you are interested in the occasional extra quiz get in touch with your League Secretary.

Wishing you all the best of luck and an enjoyable season.

The MQL Presentation Evening was held on 20 May at The Stanley Arms in Ormskirk.  The evening saw the Final of the Feeny Cup in which Newburgh Lions overcame Turks Head Sinners in an all-Ormskirk encounter.  Ormskirk success continued in the final of the Mimir individual competition where Pat Gibson won a record ninth title in spite of strong opposition from Jim Eccleson (Wirral), Angela Doyle (Liverpool) and Alan Gibbs (Warrington).  Awards were also given to the winners of the President's Shield and President's Trophy, the Rendon Cup and the Merseyside Challenge Cup.  At the end of the evening a presentation was made to Deputy Chair and Assistant General Secretary, Cliff Houghton to recognise over 40 years of continuing service as an officer of the MQL.  Many thanks to Ormskirk QL and to our wonderful hosts at The Stanley Arms. Presentations were made by MQL Chair Frances Mason and MQL President Dag Griffiths
