Somewhere in Italy was the highlight of the night

Back in the early 70s there was a hotshot from Wicklow who answered every question in the early rounds on Peter Murphy’s Cross Country Quiz. When he got to the final he was like a rabbit in the headlights and failed on every question

The occasion can get to people.

I won the Cross Country Quiz.,1987. We were shit hot.

In the presence of greatness. :clap:

The first or second year it wasn’t televised.

Just as well. We were on “where in the world” with Theresa Lowe around 93 and I completely froze.

The Limerick Way :clap:

Have you never told us that before now?

Monkman lost focus . The team’s management failed to manage the situation. The Sun needs to do an expose on where it all went wrong .

Not as often as the guy who scored all the points for his team in the county final does.

Guy called Carson captaining their opponents. @Sidney should have a field day.

The winter starts here.

Stone also keeping up the loyalist theme for Edinburgh.

UUJ going for experience in their selection.

Jack doing well for Ulster.
No Monkman-esque quizer on display tonight.

Lovely bit of banter there as Milliken of UUJ, who is so bald he looks like a Loyalist terrorist, correctly answers “Yul Brynner”.

A dramatic start to the series.

Ulster pipped at the post. Milliken correctly answers the starter for 10 to bring them back to 165-160 down, but the gong goes before they can answer any of the bonus questions.

Clear anti-Ulster bias from the timekeeper.

Conway from Cardiff wearing dickie-bow.
Expecting good quizzing from him based on that alone.

Cardiff trail 200 to minus 5.
If you wear a dickie bow to a quiz, you better deliver.
Conway and team didn’t.
