Scor na nÓg
Our Question Time team were involved in a thrilling Scór na nÓg Question Time final, which required five tie break rounds, before eventually Fenagh St Caillin’s earned the title. It was hard luck on our gallant trio of Niall O Connor. Paul Dockery and Damian Mc Gowan, but they certainly performed exceptionally on the night and were most unlucky not to progress.
