IT WAS a real generation game for St Andrew’s Day, as the Furnace Primary School pupils took on the grown-ups.
Held on the evening of Wednesday November 30, the first ever pupils v adults community quiz was organised by Mike Masters of Furnace Community Council and Furnace Primary Head Teacher, Robyn McIlroy.
With questions ranging from Picasso to flags of Europe, the pupils quickly took the lead. There was a whiff of suspicion that the adults were being handed ever-so-slightly harder questions, including identifying the flag of Azerbaijan and answering questions on global politics. Despite this, by the time the final round of charades arrived the grown-ups had recovered slightly – but the pupils were clear victors in the end with a score of 47 to 21.
