Trivia night at Keyworth Brewing Co. with The Angry Irishman as host took an exciting turn tonight as the usual two-game format was shaken up, replaced by a single, six-round contest. The teams had to buckle in for the long haul, with mental stamina and knowledge being tested to the limit. It was a different type of game, one where keeping focus over all six rounds would prove crucial.
The night started off with plenty of competitive energy. From the get-go, two teams stood out: The Poppy Ollies and Killer Rabbit. These two trivia titans exchanged blows round after round, swapping the top spot back and forth. In the first three rounds, no other teams could seem to keep up with the intensity they brought to the game.
By the end of Round 4, Killer Rabbit had just managed to claw ahead with a slim one-point lead over The Poppy Ollies. This round saw Hook 'Em and Light Beer Pressure try to close the gap, sitting just four points behind, but it was going to take something special in the last two rounds if they wanted to steal the win. Both teams knew they’d need an almost flawless performance in Round 5 and 6 if they were going to pull off an upset. Meanwhile, Smarty Pints and High 4 held steady, still within striking distance, but the mountain seemed steeper with every passing round.
Then came Round 5, and it was a game-changer. The Poppy Ollies stunned the competition with an impressive 9-point haul, creating a five-point cushion heading into the final round. The looks on the faces of Killer Rabbit told the story—dejected and frustrated, they knew they had their work cut out for them. The shock of The Poppy Ollies’ comeback silenced the brewing tension, as the other teams glanced at their scorecards and realized their hopes of climbing the leaderboard were beginning to fade.
Round 6 proved to be the final nail in the coffin for Killer Rabbit. Though they made a valiant effort, managing to score 5 points in the final round, it just wasn’t enough. The damage had already been done by The Poppy Ollies’ masterful performance in Round 5, and their consistency carried them through to the end. Killer Rabbit had to settle for second place, their dreams of a comeback victory dashed in the final moments. Still, they held their heads high, knowing they had given it their all in a tightly contested match.
As the final scores were tallied, the energy in the room shifted. With no chance for other teams to overtake the leaders, the remaining teams—Hook 'Em, Light Beer Pressure, Smarty Pints, and High 4—could only shake their heads and admire the strategy and sharp thinking that had played out on the trivia battlefield. They had fought hard, but The Poppy Ollies were unstoppable tonight.
The Angry Irishman, as usual, kept the atmosphere lively, injecting his sharp wit and playful taunts between questions, adding to the already electric mood in the room. But even he couldn’t resist a tip of the cap to The Poppy Ollies, whose brilliant play deserved recognition. They finished the night not just with a victory but with a sense of triumph over a competitive field that had thrown everything at them.
In the end, trivia is as much about knowledge as it is about strategy and timing. Tonight’s game was a perfect illustration of that. The Poppy Ollies had weathered the back-and-forth of the early rounds, played smart, and struck when the moment was right. Congratulations to them for a well-earned win!
