Rath National School and Holy Family were involved in a dramatic encounter as Round 2 of the LaoisToday Schools QuizCast got underway.
This was a winner takes all clash with the loser out for this year and the victor into Round 3.
And with everything on the line, the sides produced a stunning battle that had, after another stewards inquiry, to be decided by a tiebreak.
Rath were once again represented by Michael Behan, Aoife Murphy and Michael Nolan while Holy Family shuffled their pack.
In came Carrie Gorman, Alex Korovesi and Dylan Lawlor who performed brilliantly.
We initially thought that Holy Family had won but then realised that we had incorrectly marked an answer that Rath gave as wrong.
We thought Dungarvan was the county town of Waterford but it turns out – surprise, surprise – the children know more than us!
Prior to the merger of Waterford County Council with Waterford City Council in 2014, Dungarvan WAS the county town and administrative centre of County Waterford – but that is now Waterford City which Rath NS said.
A tiebreaker was quickly arranged and Rath came through.
