The XVIth Warrior pub quiz!


Thanks everyone who came along to the pub quiz! It was a fantastic atmosphere and though we thought we would have 6 players coming along, it seems that the Glasgow Warriors love a good quiz night as we ended up with no less than 9 players:


Left back L-R: Troy Nathan (GW), Chris Fusaro (GW), 
Ed Kalman (GW)
Right back L-R: Graeme Morrison (GW), Gus Macdonald (GW), Rory Lamont (GW)
Left middle L-R:Craig Calmers (not that Craig Chalmers) (XVIth) Tim Swinson (GW), 
Mike Cusack (GW)
Right middle L-R: Neil Macdougall (XVIth) , Mark Bridger (XVIth)  Niko Matawalu (GW)
Front right L-R: Kat Hemphill (XVIth), Mary Williams (XVIth), Elena Soper (XVIth) 


Also Head Coach Gregor Townsend and
several of the Glasgow Warriors coaching and support staff.

The Cup A Soups (pictured here with The XVIth Warrior Chairman Mary Williams) came in top and won the voucher for a meal at Waxy's Glasgow,


who kitted out the area fantastically, and as per usual served up some tasty nibbles to keep us going during the TWELVE ROUNDS!! Big thanks to the guys for sticking with it even though they did have to be up early for training for the game against Dragons on Friday.


Waxy's decked out The Guinness bar and made us feel right at home...a spooky cobweb filled home but a home none the less! The Halloween decorations were up but so were the Glasgow Warriors flags, and we were happy to share. Great touch guys!


A total of £103 pounds was raised and £20 will be donated to the Poppy appeal, the rest will go towards maintaining The XVIth Warrior. 

Here are a few shots of the evening, sorry they are a bit shaky but it was pretty packed in there with 10 teams competing!

Thank you again everyone for attending, we know that the players and staff had a great time:


Rory Lamont:

"I very much enjoyed everyone's company, and I am very confident
that everyone involved viewed it as a success.
We as a group of players, are very thankful for the immense support you give us all through the year."
