The penultimate quarter-final in the LaoisToday QuizCast sees Barry McEvoy do battle with Murt Norton.
Barry eased into this round, much to the chagrin of Mick Boyhan.
Murt, meanwhile, is many people’s favourite to go all the way after an impressive victory over Colin Delaney.
The winner will be the first to book their place in the Square Bar on Friday, December 8, where the semi-finals and final will be held live.
There are two slight changes to the format from the Last 16:
Our ‘Hon Laois’ Round has been replaced by the ‘Home or Away’ Round; contestants can choose a home question for one point, or an away question for two points.
In Round 4, contestants will now earn TWO points for the correct answer; if nobody’s get’s it exactly right, the closest to the correct answer gets ONE point.
The winner will book their place in the Square Bar on Friday, December 8, where the semi-finals and final will be held live.
