At 8.45am on the 6th April 2014, St Colmcille’s Credit Union quiz team met at the credit union and headed to the RDS in Dublin. On the way we all played on our phones and before we knew it we were there. We met Ewan Quill in the RDS because he didn’t go on the bus.
Deirdre Cavanagh signed us in and told us we were table number 28 and gave us badges. We had to wait an hour before we could meet Marty Whelen so we all just ate our lunch and listened to the music that was played by the radio station who were there. They went around asking questions but never asked us any. When we went to take our picture with Marty we had to take our badges off. Marty was bigger than we thought he would be. After we took the picture we had to wait another hour and a half before the quiz started so we just waited.
Then the quiz started and the questions where really hard but we did well and came about 20th. Because we all did so well we got a goodie bag. On the way home we stopped at the Gandon Inn where the food was delicious. We all had a great day and in the end we were all winners because we got to the RDS for the All Ireland finals.
Report by Daniel Tuohy
We were very proud to support our U11 quiz team in the RDS on Sunday when they competed in the All Ireland Finals. Well done to Ewan, Stephen, Kane and Daniel on a super achievement. Thanks also to their families and school staff who supported them throughout the year.
