Benny Ward: 1955 - 2025
It is with great sadness that I have to inform you all of the passing of Five Towns' Quiz League's long-serving player, Benny Ward, who sadly lost his battle yesterday, 15th November 2025.

I've looked at this two ways: What is the average current position of the opposition for eac
