GT National Quiz League 2010

I dont know what way these quiz are run or even where you reply the answers to. Doesnt matter to be honest as i know feck all about hurling and that is one third of the quiz. So no point really.

Ah now Samin, it's the taking part that counts!

No messing, i couldnt even name you 10 current Hurling players never mind know anything about hurling history. Probably a bit of a disgrace but just have no interest in it

Now now BE, you should be above that being an Ulster man especially as us Ulster folk are always on the recieving end of fixed draws. Two wrongs dont make a right.

Oh this will be great craic

We have the perfect 12, Loyal, can you draw up a list of betting odds for the runners & riders?

sorry for not responding earlier BE - i would have participated but i couldnt guarantee i'd fulfil the fixture - i'm up to me bollox in work and coaching

good luck with the quiz though

I'll also have to be a casual observer on this one lads. Just too busy for the next few months to commit. Good luck with the running of it BE - it's an ambitious project, but could be a great competition.

If only Boc, if only! Unfortunately though, Dungannon are in Division 3, and Mickey doesn't look for players in division 3. Or division 2 either

You'd really need to know your stuff for this one TC - you'd have been lost ....

Probably true Jayo. Looks like Mugsy is carrying the burden of expectation for the Red Hands this year, but I've complete confidence in him bringing home yet another title to Tyrone.
