Southampton are through to the second round of University Challenge and will be up against the University of Bangor tonight.

In this round the questions get harder and Southampton will be facing last year’s semi-finalists.

Southampton lost to the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in August after finishing with 155 points to SOAS’ 230. But in a highest scoring loser play-off with Loughborough, they beat them to a place in the second round last month 185-80.

The team from Southampton captained by Bob De Caux comprises of Matt Loxham, David Bishop and Richard Evans.

The University of Southampton team will be up against the University of Bangor on BBC2 at 8pm, Monday 25th November. The Bridge Bar on campus will be screening the episode.
