FC United Quiz Night nets £750 for the Development Fund

FC United’s annual quiz night on 10 April raised a grand total of £750 for the Development Fund.

The event saw current "Boardwalk Trophy??? holders, the Old Traffordables, looking for a fourth consecutive victory. All was looking on track for them up until the fourth round, immediately after the break, when the category of 2015 Film Acadamy Awards proved to be their downfall. There were a few teams ready to capitalise and eventually it was the "Office Elves and Sam" who got their noses in front to win by two points, with only four points separating the first five teams.

Trafford Branch hosted the evening at St Ann’s Social Club in Stretford and provided the 26 teams with a splendorous supper. There was a grand raffle with top prizes, Play Your Cards Right, heads and tails and we even managed to auction a still warm ‘borrowed’ building brick from Broadhurst Park for £20 – so well done the young lad who won the bid.

The final total raised, £750, has already been donated to the Development Fund, so all there’s left to say is a massive thanks to all who helped, donated prizes, attended and made it a very enjoyable evening.
