Only Connect Semi Final Preview
Footballers vs Draughtsmen
We are already at the Semi final stage of Only Connect this year and it is one of the closest series in recent memory to call. A belated congratulations go to locals and fellow Sunderland league players Chris Brewis and Dave Taylor along with Brian Pendreigh. I did not have time to write up a report on the show this week but it was a cracking display and I have my fingers crossed the Wordsmiths go all the way!
Anyway this Monday sees the first Semi Final
Footballers - Jamie Turner, Michael Mcpartland, Barry Humprhey
The Footballers come through into this match on the back of 18-11 and 20-19 wins over two strong teams. As mentioned about this team previously all the players are top UK quizzers with impressive quizzing CV's. (Barry has been on TV more than the news this year).
Draughtsmen - Andy Tucker, Iwan Thomas, Stephen Dodding
Again just like the Footballers, the Draughtsmen are packed with known faces from the UK quiz scene and the experience on show in tonights match is vast. After a tiebreak win in round one (arguably the most entertaining match of the series) a 28-14 win in the last round against a strong opposition put them in the Semi.
This really is too close to call and I am eager to see how it pans out!
