Cumann na mBunscol Quiz 2014
Report by Matthew Duffy, Rang 5.
On the 4th February 2014 St. Mary's N.S. participated in the Cumann na mBunscol Quiz. Each school entered two teams, an A Team and B Team.Our A Team members were Eva Molloy, Courtney Molloy, Bríd McNally and myself (Matthew Duffy). Our B Team members were Darcy Colleran, Ben Duffy, Matthew Curley and Caolán McKenna. This was Eva, Courtney, Caolán and my first time to represent our school in a quiz. There were six rounds and ten questions in each round. The Cumann na mBunscol quiz is about the history, geography and general knowledge of Ireland.
After much anticipation the results were announced and we were lucky to come sixth and qualify for the next stage. The B Team weren't as lucky and unfortunately did not qualify.
It was a great outing for all.

On the 31st of January eight pupils from St. Mary's N.S. competed in the Credit Union Quiz.. I was one of the pupils on the team. The quiz was held in BallyOisin N.S. .There were lots of teams there on the night. I was on the Junior B Team along with Ben Duffy, Darcy Colleran and Matthew Curley. The questions were quite hard but we had prepared well at school. We did our best and it was enough as both of our school teams won. We got a prize each of a CD Player. It was so much fun. I hope to be selected again next year.
