Hosted by the Welsh National Quiz Squad for the first time, the 3rd annual Celtic Nations Quizzing Championships took place on the weekend of 25th & 26th April 2015, in the Radisson North Hotel on the outskirts of Cardiff.
Approximately 50 of the UK and Ireland’s top quizzers were in attendance, including a nice round dozen flying the flag for Ireland.
John Nolan’s excellent Tablequiz.net blog has a write-up of the full weekend’s action and a selection of photos from the event:
In the end, Scotland prevailed as champions once more, having won all 12 team matches they played against Wales and Ireland, coupled with strong performances in the Individual and Pairs tournaments. Meanwhile, Ireland pipped Wales into second place – a definite improvement on their 3rd place finishes in the first two tournaments.
Final results:
| Wales | Ireland | Scotland | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Individual | 166 | 206 | 231 |
| Pairs | 156 | 130 | 150 |
| Team | 106 | 125 | 360 |
| Total | 428 | 461 | 741 |
