Enough of the cricket terminology. Answer is Vin Baston of Waterford. Refereed the 1945 or 46 final prior to playing in the final of 1948.

Peter McDermott did it the other way around - played then reffed.

Iā€™d only really have interest in Division 4 to be honest. Real football.

Thatā€™s a definitive no.

672

How did it go?

673

They crushed us, utterly and completely. Didnā€™t even come close. We had a good start in the GAA & Irish history/geography but completely flopped in the second half when it came to current affairs.

Monaleen only got 5 wrong in the entire quiz. Their 19th county title in a row. Just blew everyone away.

Your lot had two teams, one came 2nd after a tiebreaker, beat South Liberties. A respectable enough score but still never got near them.

674

Train harder for next year

675

Well thatā€™s it, if someone wants to beat them, you would have to train. At an absolute minimum, you would need to know every trophy name, sponsor and winner of every competition at every major grade in Hurling, Football, Camogie, Ladies Football.

Head of every public body, trade union, all ministers, including junior, guards, central bank, financial regulator, etc

A very good knowledge of Irish history, particularly 1912-1921. And even then, you still might not win.

But training for a quiz sucks all the fun out.

Name the townland where the Field takes place?

Once it became clear we werenā€™t getting within an asses roar of winning, we were happy enough to beat ye in the end. :sweat_smile:

I knew the Andes peak when I heard it but that was fuck all use to us.
