Schools quiz finalists decided

THE final of the Thomas Crosbie Holdings All-Ireland Schools Quiz on May 12 will be between St Mary’s College, Knockbeg, Carlow and Colaiste an Spioraid Naoimh, Bishopstown, Cork.

In two tremendously exciting contests at the Kilmurry Lodge Hotel, Limerick, there never was more than two points between the teams in either quiz, resulting in very tight finishes to both.

In the first session, after being level at the end of round six, the Carlow quartet just held on to win by a two-point margin, while the Cork team finished very strongly in the final round to overcome their Roscommon opposition.
