St Mary’s answer call to win TCH quiz final

IT was a knife-edge battle of wits when two secondary schools went head-to-head in the final of the Thomas Crosbie Holdings All-Ireland Schools Quiz yesterday.

St Mary’s College, Knockbeg, Co Carlow, were just eight points ahead of Coláiste and Spioraid Naoimh, Bishopstown, Cork, at the end.

The contest, in which almost 1,000 students and 150 teacher coaches were involved, was broadcast live last night on RTÉ Radio.
