Explosive 10th Edition of Bingwa Quiz night!!

        

When we said that Bingwa Sports Quiz at Blanco’s Sports Grill Galleria is getting bigger and better, we meant just that.The event organizers, iScan Media, did a superb job at putting the whole night together in conjunction with SuperSport and Blanco’s Sports Grill.

The house came alive with live Deejay music as the contestants and other clients streamed in. The energy was palpable and you could tell from the get go that the night was going to be memorable. Our host , Edward Kwach,walked in Fashionably late as usual. But as soon as he picked up the mic, he set the ball rolling and got the show on the road. SuperSport came through in a big way and got the restaurant looking great with the SuperSport branded stands.

Lucky attendees got beautiful SuperSport branded caps when they answered some trivia questions asked randomly by our host, Edward Kwach.

This time round, there were nine teams namely;

• Black Friday
• Hand of God
• Probox full of Pakistanis
• Black Bar
• Howard web( defending champions0
• BSG
• Javelin
• World of champions
• Armchair analysts
• Bar analysts reloaded

I must say that the teams got quite creative with their names this time round. Then it was time for the battle of the titans. There were three rounds of rapid fire questions and a fourth round of pictorial recognition. SuperSport had a Dstv walker up for grabs and members of some competing teams where called upon to answer some questions and one person would get to walk away with it. The luck fellow was one Keith from Black bar.

The guest of honor was Olympian Kenyan representative in 2012 javelin competitions, Julius Yego. He did the honors of awarding the successful teams and gave a great speech. Mention one Olympian that you have ever come within touching distance of?.. None! So Blanco’s Sports grill is definitely the place to be in Nairobi!

(Julius Yego-centre- is pictured with some representatives from Pacific sports and SuperSport)

After all the blood, sweat, screams and tears, the top three teams of the Bingwa Quiz night 10th Edition courtesy of SuperSport were: From the first to the third;-

1. Armchair Analysts– These fellows stunned the Bingwa veterans as they were new comers but came in guns blazing and managed to successfully walk away with the 40,000 cash prize plus some SuperSport Merchandize.

1. Howard web– These are the winners of the 9th Bingwa Quiz night but were dethroned by the new boys in town. They however put up a good fight and walked away with food vouchers from Blanco’s Sports Grill plus KPL team Replica jerseys of their choice with personalized inscriptions.

1. Bar Analysts reloaded _ This are true Bingwa Quiz night veterans but they usually get just close enough to the top to smell it but far enough to feel the pinch. They still did a great job and walked away with KPL replica team jerseys of their choice plus Food vouchers from Blanco’s Sports Grill.

So if you don’t show up for next month’s Bingwa Quiz night, you will have no one to blame for loosing out a chance to win great prizes, meet some new people and eat amazing grills from our mouthwatering menu.

The next Bingwa night will be on 3rd October 2012 from 7;30 pm at Blanco’s Sports Grill Galleria Mall. Miss this and miss out! Plus where are the ladies? We would love to see a feminine touch to the contest to give the gentlemen a run for their money.
