DRINKERS got to find out who was the Weakest Drunk in the final of a regional pub quiz.

Nine contestants from pubs across County Durham battled it out in a competition based on the TV show, The Weakest Link.

As well as answering questions correctly, the contestants had to defend themselves against Pubmaster's own Anne Robinson, regional manager Ann Maddison.

The final was held in the Half Moon pub in Low Spennymoor, with the winner of the final round being named as Maria Morris, from the Queen's Head in Gilesgate who pocketed £200.

The overall winner of the competition was The Three Horseshoes, Gilesgate, which accumulated the most points over all the heats.

The regulars at The Three Horseshoes will have a party thrown at the pub as their prize.

Manager of the Half Moon, Steve Roy, said: "We had an absolutely fantastic night.
