There was a surprise at the Bolton Quiz League cup final when Sweet Green Trinity won the Ron Lewis Trophy, thus denying Astley Bridge Conservative Club the coveted league and cup double.  The Trinity team – Brendan Ryan, Derek Heyes, Pete Cropper and Jeff Martin – were outsiders but they took a commanding lead in round one and Astley Bridge, the season’s division one champions, never recovered. “Beforehand I didn’t think we had much of a chance,” said Pete, “but as the quiz progressed and we kept our lead, we began to believe we could win it.”

Prophetic thoughts indeed!
