170 schools to commence battle in TCH national quiz

SOME 6,000 questions have been written and 170 schools are waiting to do battle in the Thomas Crosbie Holdings (TCH) schools quiz.

Following a very successful inaugural quiz last year, the final was eventually won by Patrician High School, Carrickmacross, Co Monaghan.

The Ulster team defeated St Aloysius School, Cork, and the winners picked up the first prize of a portable Apple computer laboratory worth E20,000.
