Time to tackle the newsquiz

Going by the results it was a tougher newsquiz than average last week. The top solo scorer was Janet Boyle with 17. Toby Brown scored 16 and Liz Gerard 15. The top team was The Penmans with 18 followed by Adam Batstone and Lucy Thorpe on 15. It might be a little easier this week (although it is always hard to judge). Give it a go and let me know how you get on.
