The questions were collated by the Pack Horse Bowling Club and the Robin Hood.
| Plough Horntails | 84 | 119 | Waters Green Rams |
The first two rounds were very close, and after 40 questions the teams were tied on 34 points each. After that the Rams pulled away steadily, as the following table illustrates:
