More Are House University Challenge Champions Again

27 Jan

More were the victors in the College’s annual House University Challenge competition, taking the title for the second year on the run. More House accumulated a super score of 455 points, across their three matches, finishing well ahead of their rivals.

University Challenge is a regular House event, based on the long running TV quiz show. In the College’s competition the teams are required to have representatives from each year group and a staff member, with the team facing questions on a wide range of subjects including Literature, Sport, Science, History, Maths, Art, Film, Technology, Music and Religion. Across two weeks, the House teams play each other in turn in front of an audience of Tutor groups.

Quizmaster for the competition was House Activities Co-ordinator, Meg O’Gorman, who enjoyed asking the infamous starter for 10 and follow up bonus questions.

After the final match Miss O’Gorman commented, “Thank you to all of the pupils who participated in this year’s competition. It is very different being on stage to when you are in the audience or watching at home. The questions were challenging and the matches exciting, it was nail-bitingly close in some rounds. Well done to everyone who took part.”

The final results were as follows: 1st More, 2nd Austin, 3rd Fisher and 4th Benet.
