Following the positive reaction to the first Dublin Quiz League season, we wasted no time planning another, which started less than a month and a half after the first season ended! This second season ran from January to May 2016, and was slightly expanded, seeing the original 10 teams stretch to 13.
In the event, we saw another incredibly close finish to the season, where Team Jules pipped The Rollin’ Estonians to the title by one single point – the latter having drawn their penultimate match and therefore dropping 2 points in the process.
All matches were once again held in JW Sweetman’s of Burgh Quay, but this was the last season for which Sweetman’s was the sole venue – from the following season onwards, the league had to be split between 2 pubs due to the increased number of teams.
