Two teams representing Southampton took part in the British Student Quiz Championships held in London at the weekend.
Competitive quizzing has gone from strength to strength in recent years with teams representing the university on BBC2’s University Challenge in 2013 and 2015.
The teams competing in London were comprised of both members of the 2013 and 2015 University Challenge teams, alongside new members who were taking part at this level for the first time.
After 11 University Challenge style matches throughout the day, Southampton A finished in 3rd place, after Cambridge A and Oxford A, teams with a huge reputation in the quiz community who have won this competition (and most others) every year.
Third place is an amazing achievement at this level of competition and with new players improving the future looks bright for Southampton on the national quiz scene.
