Credit Union Quiz

St Marys and Moyglass School Triumph at Annual Credit Union Quiz Students from St. Marys National School and Moyglass NS celebrated their success at the annual Credit Union Quiz, held on Sunday, 8th February, at the Talbot Hotel. Teams representing primary schools from across South Tipperary went head-to-head in the popular table quiz competition, with participants competing in two categories, under 13 and under 11. Approximately 100 local students took on 10 rounds of questions covering a broad range of topics, including history, geography, sports, popular culture, and the credit union movement. Now a proud tradition spanning more than 30 years, the competition is organised nationally by the Irish League of Credit Unions. Each year, thousands of primary school children take part, beginning at the local credit union level before progressing through regional stages to the national final. St Marys, Irishtown emerged victorious in the Under 13 category, while Moyglass National School secured top honours in the Under 11 section. Both teams will now advance to the next round. The regional “Chapter Stage” winners will earn a coveted place at the national finals, held at the RDS in Dublin. More than 200 people attended the event on Sunday, with teachers, parents, grandparents and supporters who gathered to cheer on the young quizzers representing Clonmel Credit Union. The winning schools were presented with trophies along with a financial contribution to support their school activities. The competition was tight with very little in it and all students involved should be very proud of themselves and represented their schools superbly.
