Shane Hennessy’s Table Quiz

It was fantastic to see a massive crowd from the club in the Dapp Inn on Friday evening to support Shane Hennessy and Killian Gleeson as the two lads raise funds for the GVI charity which they are volunteering to work for next June in Cape Town.
With over twenty teams participating in the table quiz it was Table 17 who came out on top at the end. We send our congratulations to Enda Costello, Gerry Robinson, Ray Deering, Kevin Costello and their mobile phones on a stunning victory. In second place was the magnanimous Table 15 consisting of Matt Lillis, Marion Ryan, Bartley Ryan and Enda O’Sullivan. It must be pointed out that the second placed team did not, at any stage, resort to Google or their neighbouring teams for answers and in a dignified manner, only lost by one solitary point.
A special thank you goes to the hosts the Dapp Inn and quizmaster for the night, Kevin Whelan.
