LLANDOVERY RFC CHRISTMAS PRIZE QUIZ
There was a huge response to the club’s Christmas Prize Quiz and the standard of answers was impressive with no fewer than 21 entrants getting over 80% of the answers correct.
Scores ranged from 37 to 49
Q 29, Q 41 and Q 49 proved the most challenging.
Q 29 Acrylic fibre – DRALON and not Rayon which is not 100% acrylic. (Nylon had two letter Ns!)
Q 41 “Briefcase” is the nickame of England and British Lions rugby player Eliot DALY.
Q 49 Made his Test debut in November 2021 – Nic DOLLY, Leicester Tigers hooker who made his rugby test debut v South Africa.
The leader board was very tight with Roland Williams and Sandra Tandy both getting 49 points out of a possible 50. Roland Williams’s entry came in first which was the deciding factor in the award of the first prize.
For the other places the same criteria were used – the earliest entry took precedence.
