On the 22nd of November at 7 o’clock Ciaran McCormack, Mikey Delaney, Luke Ormond and myself attended the Mid Tipperary GAA Quiz.It was held in The Ragg.
When we all arrived we picked our table and waited for the quiz to start.After the first 4 rounds we had 30 question right out of 32.The closest team to us had 27 questions right.We had got off to a great start.Then came the picture round and somehow we got Michael Ryan wrong which meant we got seven. Another good round for the team.In the next three rounds we had a slip up with a round of five and two rounds of 6. We were really nervous after our slip up and knew that other teams could catch up on us.
When they called out result we were in 1st place but 14 more teams had to be called out. That’s when it got really nerve wrecking. It was a sign of relief when we won and we were all very relieved and excited. They gave goodies to all teams. They called up the 5 teams who were going to represent the Mid in the County Final.
Noel McGrath presented us with a plaque for the school and a smaller plaque for every member of the team. We also got a 25 euro voucher each for Lar na Pairce. We got home at about 9 o’clock tired but very happy. Thanks to Mr.Doyle for all his help. We now can look forward to going to Thurles to represent our school in the County Final.
