our first worcestershire ccc ‘ultimate quiz’ has been a resounding success – and now club captain joe leach has selected the winner.
large numbers of members and supporters took part in the quiz for which the prize for the winner was a £25 voucher to spend in worcestershire ccc’s new online club shop.
about a third of those who participated came up with a superb ten out of ten in terms of correct answers.
question five ‘who was appointed england ‘a’ captain for the 2003-2004 tour of india but had to leave the tour with a hand injury before he played a game?’ to which the answer was current worcestershire ccc head coach alex gidman – stumped quite a few people.
but that challenge was overcome by some of you to leave joe having to select from a sizeable number of people who achieved the maximum number of correct answers.
the winner picked out by joe was peter maclaren and its congratulations from everyone at New Road.
peter can use his retail voucher to choose from a wide range of official club merchandise including worcestershire ccc and rapids branded clothing plus accessories for adults and juniors.
already there are over 70 different items in stock, including the option to pre-order new playing shirts, in the online club shop with many more products becoming available during the forthcoming weeks.
the second worcestershire ccc ‘ultimate quiz’ will be posted on the club’s website and social media streams on monday 25 may 2020 with another £25 voucher to spend in the new on-line club shop up for grabs.
