ULSTER QUIZ CHAMPIONS.
Having won the Co. Donegal Cumann na mBunscol Allianz Quiz final recently, the team then represented the county in the Ulster Finals in Irvinestown in March 2014. Well done to Ciara, Manus, Meabh and Conor on a great performance on the day. They finished three points clear of the 35 other teams who had qualified, thus capturing the Ulster title.
GARDA QUIZ WINNERS.
On the same day, a team from the school participated in the divisional finals of the Garda Quiz. Daniel, Harrison, Grainne and Conor represented the school in this event and, in a similar vein to the other school team participating that day, they too ‘took home the bacon’, finishing in first place. They will now compete in the Garda Quiz County Final in April 2014.
