Limerick GAA - We get knocked down 🐐

Ride anything with a pussy and tits.

Didn’t the camogie team end this?

Anyone at the ScĂłr quiz tonight?

Surprise, surprise- Monaleen win again. 92/100… maybe they’ll win the All-Ireland this year & retire, and give the rest of the county a chance.

Good display from hosts Feoghanagh/Castlemahon, stayed strong throughout, only 6 behind the leaders, level with Mungret.

What is the spread of questions like? Is it all general knowledge or heavily GAA related?

100 questions

Round 1- Gaelic Football & Ladies Football
Round 2- Hurling & Camogie
Round 3- CLG as Gaeilge
Round 4- Irish History
Round 5- World History
Round 6- Irish Geography
Round 7- Irish Current Affairs
Round 8- International Current Affairs
Round 9- Irish Culture
Round 10- General Knowledge

Pretty sure that’s a standard format at All-Ireland level too. So yeah, that’s 30 GAA questions out of 100 which is heavily skewed.

We are doing very well after the first 5 Rounds, within touching distance but got destroyed on Irish Geography & Irish Current Affairs, only 11/20 where the big hitters got 18 or 19.

Give us a few examples of the geography questions?

By what name is Inis Cealtra on Lough Derg known in English?
Ballycastle in North Mayo is home to a visitor centre for which tourist attraction?
Sheephaven Bay and Horn Head are in which county?

We only got 1 of those 3 right anyway, clearly not geography experts.

Inis Cealtra is Holy island

I’d say I know two of them.
Inis Cealtra - Holy Island
Ballycastle is the Ceidie Fields
Sheephaven Bay - I’d guess at Cork

2/3

Sheephaven Bay is in Donegal.

We said Garrykennedy for the first one, which looks stupid in hindsight. Didn’t even think of Holy Island though.
Got the Céide Fields- even if you didn’t know, you could make a logical deduction.
We said Mayo for the last… a complete guess really; we wanted to pick somewhere on the west coast though.

Holy Island
Ceide Fields
Donegal.

3/3 Bean. Excellent.

Ask us a few more there. I love a good quiz.

Not a table quiz. No picture round.

Given that it is meant to be competitive, how did they avoid people using mobiles?

You’ve either got it or you’ve got it bud.

TJ ‘whack it’ Ryan :smiley:

Picture rounds are a big pile of shit.

In my opinion. Awful, awful things which no self-respecting table quiz should ever have.

I’m normally against audio rounds too but Castlemahon had a great sound system, well set-up and well-run so that was fair enough. Last year he was holding the mic up to his laptop, playing poor quality youtube videos. It was awful. In general, table quizzes tend to have poor enough PA systems.

And there was no policing of mobiles, it’s good to see there is some semblance of honour still existing in the GAA. There was a small enough turnout and I imagine the the thought of cheating would be abhorrent to the vast majority.

I’d imagine Pat O’Donnell and Jim Enright were on high alert.
Nothing gets past them (at least not at the gate anyways).
