More were the victors in the College’s annual House University Challenge competition, taking the title for the third year running. More House won all three of their 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 across the year groups and this year a staff team as well. The Houses faced 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, Rachel Fox, who enjoyed asking the infamous starter for 10 and follow-up bonus questions.
After the final match, Miss Fox commented, “Thank you to all 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. They were nail-bitingly close in some rounds. Well done to everyone who took part.”
The final results were as follows: 1st More, 2nd Benet, 3rd Fisher and 4th Austin.
