Quiz Night
An exceptionally large crowd assembled in O’Flaherty’s Bar on Thursday night last to compete in Paddy Corr’s and Derek Smith’s general knowledge quiz. Standing room only was the order of the night. Paddy must have been in a generous mood because his questions were decidedly easier than in previous occasions. This was manifested in the high score obtained by the Winning Team Snow Patron who accumulated a massive 77 out of 80 points. There was a three-way tie for second, which had to be decided by a tiebreak. Excitement grew as it took ten questions to decide the issue with Not The Mushroom Farmers edging out The Quarrelsome Quartet and The Oxymorons. The highlight of the night, though, was the raucous rendition of Happy Birthday for Helena Foley. Next Thursday night’s quiz is in aid of Ella O’Connor of The Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice.
