Mimir 2010 - Ormskirk Heat Wednesday February 24th

15 players from just 5 teams gathered at the Ship Inn near Burscough. A very good venue with a wide choice of real ale and a plentiful supply of sandwiches from the welcoming landlord.
The four first round games reduced the field to 8 players who played 2 extremely close semi-finals which both went to tie breaks.

Semi-final 1 John Wilson 14 Ray Oakes 13 Phil Duffy 13 Madeline Evans 9

Semi-final 2 Eric Lupton 12 Darren Martin 10 David Hodgson 10 Mike Unsworth 10

The final was played using a challenging set of questions written specially by Pat Gibson. Ray Oakes retained the trophy.
