A FUNDRAISER, based on the popular TV show ‘The Chase’, saw hundreds of people enjoy an entertaining Friday night at The Rose Hotel with around €25,000 realised for Blennerville school.

Hosted by the school contestants had the chance to win up to €1,500 if they could beat the Chasers who were former principal of the school Michael O’Connor, Cllr Terry O’Brien and Radio Kerry’s Deirdre Walsh.

Six people were chosen at random from the audience on the night to answer general knowledge questions with a few local knowledge questions thrown in.

David Dillane was first up winning €600, Amy Roche was beaten by The Chaser but went home with €90, Catherine O’Shea won €400, Sinead O’Connor also beat The Chaser taking home €800, Marie Flaherty took home a consolation of €90, while the big winner was Mossie Murphy (playing for Martina Rohan) who took home €1,500.

There were two presenters from show-runners Pallas Marketing on the night — George McGrath acted as the quizmaster, while Tom Shanahan asked questions for spot prizes among the audience. There was also an auction and raffle with amazing prizes.

Local businesses were very generous with advertising and sponsorship making for a very successful fundraiser held in order to equip an extra classroom and to purchase much needed resources to benefit all children in Blennerville NS.

Principal of the school, Robbie O’Connell, said he was delighted with the night and thanked advertisers, the organising committee, The Rose Hotel, Pallas Marketing, the school community and everyone involved in making it such a success. Scroll down for photos…
