2024-25 Cup Comptitions
Pool Weeks
The Pool Weeks will be played over 5 weeks starting on Monday, 3 February 2025 and ending on Monday, 3 March 2025. This is a slight departure from previous seasons in an attempt to give more notice to early pool week setters.
Due to the loss of teams from the League, the Committee decided in order to keep a similar framework as that determined at the start of the season, that 15 teams would contest the Dennis Wigham and 12 teams the Tony Clare.
All Division 1 and the top 7 teams in Division 2 will contest the Dennis Wigham: all Division 3 and the remaining 3 teams in Division 2, the Tony Clare. The Division 2 table split was determined following its update after Week 11 results were taken into account.
There are 3 x 5-team pools in the Dennis Wigham and 3 x 4-team pools in the Tony Clare. Teams were allotted their Pools using 2 random lists (one for each Competition) generated at the start of the season.
The top 2 teams in each pool and the 2 x 3rd placed teams with the best records within their competition will progress to the Quarter Finals. The draws for the Quarter Finals and beyond have been made by the grand children of the Administrator.

The Pairs Quiz
The Pairs Quiz took place on Monday, 16th December 2024.
There were eleven teams in competition, though unfortunately none from either the second or third division. The winners were David Hesp and Richard Marshall (Boot & Shoe B) with a most impressive 89 points, while the runners-up were Lesley and Barry Guise (Boot & Shoe C) with a very good 76 points. Third place was settled by a tie-breaker, with Eric Wildsmith/Pat Ormesby (LCC B) and Richard Hitchings/David Ashbridge (Gregson A) tied on 75 points. The Gregson team was marginally less wide of the mark than their opponents.
Very many thanks to John Goodhew and Jim Pyper who set a wide-ranging and interesting quiz. Thanks too for the Railway Club's generosity in staging the event. Report provided by Richard Hitchings - Chair.
