We sat down nervously at our table and waited anxiously for the first round to begin. There were 10 rounds, and after a few rounds there was an update on the score. Chisnallwood Team 6 had 72 out of a possible 73 points. At the end of 10 rounds we waited to find out the results. The tension was eating us alive. It turned out that there were 5 teams that had to battle it out for 3 rd  place. Chisnallwood Team 6 was one of them. We felt like screaming, we were so excited.  During the playoff after two words two teams had been knocked out of the running. The 3 rd  word was repertoire. IT TOOK US DOWN!St Andrews won the competition and received a plaque for their school, medals, pens and book vouchers. At the end of the day, it turned out that Chisnallwood Team 6 tied 3 rd  equal.
