County G.A.A. Quiz Champions
On the 27th November, 2 teams from our school took part in the Mid Tipperary G.A.A. Quiz. It was on in the Ragg at 7 p.m.
Team One was made up of Darragh Ryan (Captain), Aaron Ryan, Stephen Carr and Denis Ryan. Team Two was made up of Conor McLoughlin (Captain), Eanna Ryan, Keith Ryan and Darragh Bourke. The sub was A.J. Shanahan.
At half time team one were on 30 points and team two were on 23 points.
The questions were difficult in the first half. When the quiz was over and the judges were counting the final results we all got taytos and drinks. Team two finished with a total score of 49 points out of 64 and team one finished with a total of 59 points. Team two finished in 7th place out of 15 teams and team one finished in 3rd place after a tie breaker. Each member of team one got a bronze medal and a voucher for Lar na Pairce, the Tipperary G.A.A. Shop.
At the end we got our photo taken for the Tipperary Star. Now we are in the County Final which takes place on the 11th December in the Sarsfields Centre in Thurles. Teams from all four divisions will take part in the quiz.
Our next night out was on the 11th December in the County Final in Thurles Sarsfields Centre at 7 p.m. There was twenty teams, five from each division. There were eight rounds of eight questions. At half time we were in the lead by two points, with a total of thirty one points out of thirty two. At the end there were two tie breakers, for 2nd and 5th. Luckily we weren’t in them. Our final score was sixty two out of sixty four. We received a big plaque for the school and we each received a small plaque and voucher for Lar na Pairce. We would like to thank our teachers, Mrs. Corcoran, Mr. Corcoran and also Mr. Harrington our past Principal and Mr. Ger Fogarty, past pupil who prepared us with lots of questions over the past two months.
