Well done to the Young Boys team of Mark Friel, Michael Friel, Kieran Friel, Mark Ferry and Eugene Rainey who won the sports quiz on Friday night.

A great turnout of eleven teams enjoyed a fantastic night’s entertainment. Special thanks to Joe Cannon for acting as quizmaster and Leo Devenney for looking after the scoring.
