Omagh Probus annual Inter-club Quiz was held in Omagh Golf Club on Wednesday 17th April 2024 with nine teams competing. First held in 1985 the Inter-club Quiz has been a highlight of the Probus year in the west of the Province for some 36 years; however Covid and declining membership in local Probus Clubs has resulted in fewer Clubs and fewer teams being able to participate. Those that were represented this year were Enniskillen, Londonderry, Omagh Ladies and Omagh Men’s, with a team from the Golf Club invited to make up numbers and make the event more of a competition.
In the event it was a lovely morning with some 40 players enjoying a fun event as they chatted between rounds of the Quiz and renewed friendships formed in previous competitions. The Quizmasters were Peter and Margaret Cummings who challenged players with a wide variety of questions most of which were answerable but with enough tricky ones to leave the Omagh Ladies 1st team clear winners. The competition has two trophies – The James Eakin Shield for the best team overall and the Bert McCrory Cup for the best Omagh Team. For the first time both were won by an Omagh team, and the Ladies were thrilled to have achieved it.
At the close of the event Probus President, Mr Felim O’Neill, expressed appreciation to Quiz Masters Peter and Margaret Cummings and all who had pulled together to make the event memorable, successful and enjoyable.
