After weeks of planning and scheduling in the background, the first episode of the new LaoisToday QuizCast is here.
There are 16 contestants in all in what is a straight knockout competition, a general sports quiz devised by our Quiz Master Mark Comerford.
The Round of 16 and quarter-final pairings are all being recorded on Zoom with the semi-finals and final to be hosted in the Square Bar in Portlaoise on Friday, December 8.
In this episode, Steven Miller of LaoisToday takes on Eoin Scully from Camross in a contest that goes right to the wire.
