It was a big success for PAFL and GAA’s Pub Quiz night, with a full house and happy hearts.
The Philippine Australian Football League (PAFL) and the Manila GAA held their first joint Pub Trivia Night Fundraiser at Handlebar Bar and Grill on Wednesday, August 6th. The mood was great. There were no empty seats; all of them were filled with friends, fans, and friendly rivals who were ready to put their knowledge to the test for a good cause. The energy was real, a great mix of wanting to win and wanting to help others.
Our Quiz Master, Andrew, was the one who made it all happen. He was able to expertly guide the teams through a series of brain teasers because he had done it many times before. Andrew kept everyone on their toes with tough multiple-choice questions, “Who am I?” puzzles, and helpful extra questions. People cheered for the right answers and groaned for the wrong ones after each round. This means that the quiz was run well!
The people of Manila are very helpful and different, as shown by the night. It was nice to see people from the Irish and Australian Embassies, as well as members of the PAFL, GAA, and rugby community, all sitting together and having a good time.
The Irish Embassy Manila team won the quiz contest last night. Great job! Thanks to all the teams that played, especially the ones that came in second and third. You made it a fun and competitive night.
There was more to the night than just being able to brag. It was a good thing, and the people who lived there were very kind. “It was a great success for our first Pub Quiz Night,” said PAFL Secretary, Peter Hammon. “It’s great to see so many people come out to support the PAFL and GAA. This gives some great Filipino athletes the chance to travel and represent their country in an international event.”
We couldn’t have done this well without the great people who gave us prizes. Thanks a lot to:
- The gift hamper is from Glenhams.
- Dining voucher from People’s Palace Thai.
- Dining voucher from Blackbird at the Nielson Tower
- Gift card – PAC Sports
- Jameson Whiskey for the scotch bottles
- And thanks to everyone who gave out beer, wine, and other things!
Thanks to everyone who bought a raffle ticket, took part in the quiz, and cheered on their friends, the PAFL and GAA were able to raise a lot of money to send our Filipino players to the Asian Championships. Your donation gives our athletes the chance to compete on the world stage.
