A sincere thanks to everyone who attended the table quiz in McCarthy’s bar last Friday night. The total amount raised for the Union Hall lifeboat was €1,035.00 which was fantastic & is very much appreciated.
Thanks to Timmy Murphy & his family for hosting the quiz. Thanks also to all who contributed prizes for the quiz & the raffle, to Conor Corcoran & Timmy for setting the quiz questions & to all who helped out on the night.
Well known Millstreet man John Tarrant has succeeded in winning a place in the last eight of the GAA’s All-Ireland 125 Quiz. The semi-final was hosted by the ‘Memory Man’ Jimmy Magee on August 28th last, and John who is no stranger to quizzes (Scór Senior, table quizzes etc) excelled and qualified for the final which will be held on Friday 18 September in the GAA Museum in Croke Park.
John has been involved in sport and journalism for years now. He is PRO with Millstreet and Duhallow and a columnist and photographer with the Corkman newspaper, as well as working a full time job!
If he wins he will make a guest appearance on the Sunday Game on RTE2 that same night, a trophy, tickets to the All Ireland Football final amongst other prizes. So best of luck to John from everyone here.
There is an article on the Corkman about John’s achievements so far. You can also read some information on the quiz.
Update 24th Sept 09: Unfortunately John did not succeed in the final of the GAA 125 quiz, but well done regardless on a remarkable achievement.
