Ennis Tag Rugby quiz night
June 12, 2009 in Quizzes
Being a young (well, youngish) professional living in an urban environment without a regular sporting outlet, it’s almost inevitable that I would end up playing Tag Rugby during the summer months.
Our local tag league hosted a table quiz for charity following last night’s programme of games, with almost all teams in the league entering a team. As we obviously had nothing else to do, our team entered three teams!
The questions were mostly* well-thought-out and the standard of answering was high. The winning team finished up on 56 out of 60**, with my own brigade in joint-third on 54. Yes, it was that tight.
You can check out the picture round and the questions that defeated us by clicking on the continue…
Questions:
- From which song do the following lyrics come? “The girls come easy, And the drugs come cheap, We’ll all stay skinny, Cos we just won’t eat”
- Who won the 2009 All-Ireland U21 mens football title?
- Who did Bohemians FC defeat in the 2008 FAI cup final?
- How many points did Michael Jordan score in his 17 year NBA career?**
- Which river flows through Sligo town?
- True or False – No word in the English language rhymes with “orange”?
Picture round (in lovely photocopy-ovision):
Yeah, I know they’re numbered 11-20. It didn’t make any sense at the quiz either.
Update: Answers here.
* There was a True or False round. I consider that a bit lazy really.
** The Michael Jordan quesiton was a ‘tie-breaker’, at the end of the Sport round. I’m not sure if it was used for scoring purposes.

I know Q1 (dunno how you can avoid a radio for a full year J!) and I know Q6, however I reckon you know Q6 as well which is why I assume they got the wrong answer and you couldn’t be bothered questioning it….
