Final: 9 April 2019

The questions were compiled by the Dolphin and the Dolphin Dragons, from those supplied by all non–participating teams.

Weaver 82 109 Ox–fford 'C'

The Cup Final was a very entertaining contest, with the Ox–fford 'C' managing to keep the Weaver at bay (despite the latter's home advantage – albeit that's not a major thing in quizzing terms!) to win the final 109 – 82.

The Ox–fford 'C' got off to a flying start, winning the first round of twenty questions by 21 points to 11, which was the widest gap of any round on the night. They won the second round 16–14 in what turned out to be the most difficult round of questions on offer, then took the third round 19–12 to establish a strong 56–37 lead at half–time. The Weaver made a comeback and won round four 18–15, but the Ox–fford 'C' won the last two rounds to take the second half by 54 points to 45.

Having won 5 out of the 6 rounds, the Ox–fford 'C' were deserving winners on the night and took the Cup for the fourth time overall. Many thanks also to our Question Masters / scorers for the night, Alan Hodgson and Peter McBride – both from the Dolphin of course.
