Reliving the Challenge
The finals of the 2017 season of School’s Challenge Quiz came down to two non-Corporate Area schools — Munro College, located in St Elizabeth, and Titchfield High School, located in Portland. Munro took the trophy, beating the defending champion by three points in a live match last Tuesday. It’s Munro’s sixth win, the previous ones occurring in 1979, 1984, 1991, 1993 and 2003. Titchfield, meanwhile, although making it to the finals five times in the last seven years, has only held the trophy once.
Here are some highlights of the match.
