ST COLUMBAS' PS KILREA WIN BOTH COMPETITIONS AND GUARANTEE A PLACE IN THE NEXT STAGE OF THE CREDIT UNIONS SCHOOL QUIZ!!

On Monday 1st February Kilrea, Rasharkin & Dunloy Credit Union ran their annual schools quiz.

This year St Columbas PS Kilrea managed to win both the older and younger competitions and have now secured a place in stage two of the competition which will take place in Ballymena on the 5th March. The two winning teams in this stage will then compete at the National Final in Dublin in April when the top 100 qualifying teams will battle it out for glory.

Four of our local primary schools entered the competition this year; they were St Columbas PS Kilrea, Crossroads PS Kilrea, Kilrea Primary and St Patrick's PS Rasharkin. All of these schools deserve appreciation for their efforts throughout the quiz and each pupil was a credit to their teachers and schools.

In what you could only describe as a tough contest between the schools in both competitions, it was St Columbas' Kilrea who triumphed in both. In the older competition second place went to St Patrick's PS Rasharkin and in the younger competition Kilrea PS took the second spot.

It was a very enjoyable afternoon, with each school bringing along their classmates and teachers for support.

Kilrea Rasharkin & Dunloy Credit Union would like to take this opportunity to thank all the schools for their continued support with the quiz and we would also like to wish St Columbas' PS Kilrea "Good Luck” in the next stage of the competition.
 

ST COLUMBA'S PS KILREA CONTINUE THEIR WINNING STREAK!

On Friday 5th March St Columbas' PS Kilrea travelled to the Ballymena Showground's for the second stage of the junior schools Quiz.

Representing Kilrea, Rasharkin & Dunloy credit union in both competitions, the two teams showed determination and strength. In what was a very close competition, both teams stayed composed and confident throughout.

Competing against at least 12 other teams both the teams managed to secure a place in the final which will take place in the RDS in Dublin on Sunday 18th April.

Kilrea Rasharkin & Dunloy Credit Union wishes St Columbas' PS Kilrea, continued success in Dublin.
