Quiz

Here are the questions from the Moville Rowing Club quiz in Rosatos on Thursday night.

There are 2 points for each question.

The teams are told that they have one Joker to play and if they think they have done well in a round they should put a large 'J' on top of the sheet handed in and they will get double points for that round.

Final Round

In the final round they have to guess who the person is from a series of clues.

As soon as they think they know who it is they should rush up with a piece of paper with the name on it.

If they are right they get the number of points for that question.

If they are wrong they get zero points.
