Credit Union all Ireland Final 2017
On Sunday the second of April, the quiz team, their family members, Ms Murphy and Ms Treacy left Athenry at 8.30am. Ms Treacy asked us questions all the way up to Dublin! We arrived in the R.D.S and were ready to take part in the National Credit Union Quiz final. We had been preparing for weeks. We registered, got something to eat and then got our photo taken with the Credit Union Youth Ambassadors, Gary and Paul O'Donovan. The quiz master was Aidan Power. The quiz started at 1:30.
We finished 3rd, with 60 points out of 72, 2 points behind the winners, and 1 point off second place.
After the quiz, we went to the Glenroyal hotel in Maynooth for dinner. It was a great day out, and we really enjoyed it. Thank you to the Credit Union for organising this fantastic day out. A special thanks to Geraldine for spoiling us rotten with water, fruit and goodies on the way up to Dublin.We even got a tenner each to buy lunch in the R.D.S! A sincere thank you to Jarlath Connolly and Geraldine for coming with us and giving up their Sunday. What a brilliant achievement to get to the All Ireland final and to come joint third out of 49 teams.
Thanks to the parents for coming with us to Dublin.
