By now, the new LaoisToday QuizCast is in full swing, as we reach the halfway point in Round 1.
There are 16 contestants in all in what is a straight knockout competition, a general sports quiz devised by our Quiz Master Mark Comerford.
This episode features Mountmellick’s Bernard Rochford taking on Jack Scully of the Portlaoise Panthers.
One of these men lay down a serious marker as they march into the quarter-finals. But for the other it’s severe disappointment as they fall at the first hurdle.
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.
You can watch this episode on YouTube or listen on Soundcloud in podcast format.
