fevnut's Quiz Questions 2025/#05: The Answers

 

Question 1

We have seen a number of quiz questions elsewhere that provide a list of pairs and ask what is the common link between them. We thought we would try one.

Here is a chart of a few Rugby League Clubs paired with sporting clubs in other countries.

So what is the common link between all 6 of these pairs?

Answer: Twin Towns / Cities

The home area of each of the clubs in the first column is twinned with the home area of the clubs in the second column

Question 2

When we are doing our stats we use codes for each team so as to avoid having to type the name in full over and again. They are usually two letter codes such as 'LB' for London Broncos or 'LL' for Leigh Leopards'.

There are some clubs in Super League, the Championship or League One for whom we can use a single letter code because they are the only professional or semi-professional club whose name starts with that particular letter.

How many such clubs are there (preferably without resorting to club lists) that you can identify? One, at least, is very obvious!

Answer: There are seven

Featherstone Rovers (of course!)

Keighley Cougars

Midlands Hurricanes

Oldham

Rochdale Hornets

Toulouse Olympique

York Knights

Did you get them all?
