Credit Union Schools Quiz, 2011.
There was great excitement on Sunday 6th February, when 26 teams entered the annual Athenry Credit Union quiz.
The standard was very high, and it was a hard fought and close contest throughout.
In the under 11’s, Athenry Boys National School and Craugwell National School could not be seperated, and the quiz went to a tie-break. To the delight of their teachers and family, Athenry Boys National School emerged victorious. Third was Monivea National School. Athenry Boys National School go foward to represent Athenry Credit Union at Chapter level.
In the under 13’s the winning team was Scoil Chroi Naofa.
There was a joint second, which were Craughwell National School and Newcastle National School. Scoil Chroi Naofa will also go forward to represent Athenry Credit Union at Chapter level.
We wish both teams the best of luck.
