    Well done Frenchie. The poor islanders are going to be inundated with tourists. Packages have started already.

    Somehow I thought you might know Theo. Quite correct of course. Somehow I thought that Somerset must won it, but despite winning cups, never the county championship.

    Thanks Frenchie. You'd have thought Garner, Botham and Richards were enough to win it for Somerset but it didn't happen!

    What do London, Birmingham, Sheffield and Edinburgh have which Exeter, Norwich, Newcastle, Chester and York once had but no longer do?

    That's the one. Must be one of the few clubs where players actually pay £17K a year to play...

    Over to you.

    Scully only scored one hat-trick for Watford - who were the opposition and what was the score?

    A 4-1 win against First Tower United, a team from your neck of the woods I believe ?

    According to wfcarchive.com, it was 6-1. First Tower United are the only Jersey side (and until the formation of Guernsey FC, the only Channel Island club side) to feature in an FA knock-out competition, the FA Vase, and it was from 78 to 98 when Jack Walker was their patron.

    Cheers Barry. Another football one - Which was the only team ever to score a so called 'Silver Goal' ?

    Porto beat Celtic in the 2003 UEFA Cup Final - scoring in the first half of extra time to take the score to 3-2.

    Very close BB. This was the first game to use that ruling - but the third goal was actually scored in the second half of extra time, which meant that the match had to played out to the end. There was another with a silver goal which actually counted as one - meaning it had decided the match by the end of the first period of extra time, so the second wasn't played. So which game was it ?

    To put the question another way - it was the first game ever which finished after 15 mins. of extra time.

    That's the one BB. The Greeks got the goal just before the extra time break, and the rules of the tournament said the side leading at half time of extra time won. Over to you.
