The last quarter-final in the LaoisToday QuizCast sees Gavin Deering take on Mr LaisToday, Steven Miller.
Gavin was impressive in Round 1 where he overcame a tough challenge from Laois star Mark Timmons.
Steven was also lucky to come through a tight battle against Eoin Scully in the first round.
The winner will book their place in the Square Bar on Friday, December 8, where the semi-finals and final will be held live.
