A couple of weeks ago Chloe and Sarah got together a group of sporting geniuses in the form of Ed Chester (bit-tech.net), Rik Henderson (Pocket Lint), Jeff Parsons (T3) and David Gilbert (International Business Times) to take part in the talkSPORT quiz at RadioWorks in London.

Former Portsmouth and Newcastle player Micky Quinn was quizmaster and there was also appearances from talkSPORT presenters Jason Cundy, Andy Goldstein, Andy Jacobs and Paul Hawksbee.

Chloe and Micky

The teams were competing for great prizes including talkSPORT goodies, sweet hampers, a trip for two to Celtic Manor in Newport, bottles of Champagne and of course a Pure One Mini Union Jack. Questions included a picture round of football stadiums, a music round of songs that teams come out to and other general sporting knowledge questions. We battled through the questions but we were expecting a low result and a distinct lack of prizes but amazingly we came third winning some great talkSPORT goodies and a tour of the talkSPORT studios, which we are all really excited about!

RadioWorks is the UK’s premier radio advertising specialist and we would like to thank them for a great night and look forward to the next quiz!
