The Station A were the latest question setters for the 12th round of the Pembroke and Pembroke Dock Quiz League and did their B team, who entertained the Alma A, no favours.

In an excellent quiz, with good questions, there was never more than two points between the teams who found themselves all-square at 66 points each going into the last round, which proved more difficult than the previous five. Sadly, the Alma A's answer to the Irish president question of O'Higgins would not be accepted by the (pedantic!) questionmaster, but no matter, the Alma outscored the Station by nine points to nil for a well-deserved victory and inflict the first defeat of the season on the league leaders.

At St. Govan's, the visiting team from the Oak (where the comment was again excellent quiz) snatched victory on the last question to win by just four points.

Similarly, at the Charlton, another tight match was in progress between the home A team and the First & Last, with the outcome again resting on the final question in round six, with Cliff winning it for the visitors with a six-pointer.

On the other side of the coin, the questions on the night did not suit the Alma B, who suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of the Golf Club, the night's highest scorers, and likewise at the Naval Club, the visiting Charlton B struggled and left with nothing.

The final tie of the night was at the Brewery Inn, Cosheston, where the home side recovered from last week's upset by overcoming the visiting St. Govan's A.

I would like to thank those teams who comment on their games on the returned score cards and would encourage all teams to do this as it makes much more interesting reading.

The week's results were as follows; Charlton A 65 First & Last 68; St. Govan's B 65 Oak 69; Cosh Brewery 67 St. Govan's A 48; Naval Club 71 Charlton B 42; Alma A 33 Golf Club 77 and Station B 66 Alma A 75.

League positions are: Station B 30, Station A 27, Cosh Brewery 24, Charlton A and First & Last 21 with the Alma A and Oak on 18.
