Way back in 2004 a quartet of girls, now in Year 13, made their first foray into the world of Literary Quizzes. Their initial competition was the international Kids Lit round held at Howell’s School in Cardiff. Although they didn’t win it they did go on to victory in every competition held against Monmouth School. Blue Bananas reigned supreme and made the coveted Cavour Cup their own.
On Wednesday 30th March teams from Years 11 -13 assembled in Monmouth School Library for one last quiz event. In a challenging contest the teams pitted their literary wits and all teams won a round. The final scores revealed that there was only half a point between the top teams but sadly the girls were defeated by a team from Monmouth School, called The Droogs.
This was both an exciting and nostalgic event. Future teams of girl competitors will have to work hard to regain the Cavour Cup and bring it back up the hill to HMSG. Lots more reading required!
The Blue Bananas are: Becky (Library prefect), Natasha, Hannah and Jenny
