Ben Wyvis Primary triumphs in Rotary Club quiz
A Conon Bridge primary school emerged victorious in a closely fought quiz event.
Dingwall Rotary hosted the Rotary District 1010 Area 1 final of the Primary Schools Quiz at the British Legion in Dingwall on May 24.
Already winners and runners up in the Sutherland, Easter Ross and Dingwall Rotary Club heats, teams from Inver, Hill of Fearn, Bridgend (Alness), Ben Wyvis (Conon Bridge), Golspie and Lairg Primary Schools battled it out across 10 subject areas in the area final.
First and second places were hotly contested, the lead narrowing to only one point as teams entered the final three rounds.
These last rounds saw the leader board change as Conon Bridge’s Ben Wyvis Primary team overcame their one-point deficit before finally winning with a two-point margin over Bridgend.
An organiser said: “All six teams had clearly worked hard preparing for the day and every pupil did both themselves and their school proud, points earned in each round gaining loud support from friends and family there to cheer them all on.”
Ben Wyvis received a trophy for their efforts and both they and Bridgend will now go on to represent the district at the quiz grand final to be held at Aberdeen's Beach Ballroom on June 14.
