Schools book place in last 16

CASTLEKNOCK College and St Mary’s College, Carlow, became the first schools to qualify for the last 16 in the Thomas Crosbie Holdings All-Ireland Schools Quiz following last night’s sessions at the Montrose Hotel, Dublin.

In the first session Castleknock College survived a very strong challenge of Lucan Community College winning by a margin of just two marks.

The second contest was equally hard fought with the Carlow school edging out Clonkeen College Dublin on the score of 96 to 92.
