New RTE Sports Quiz Looking for audience
GeneralA brand new sports quiz show, Put ‘Em Under Pressure, will air on Sunday evenings in September on RTE 1.
The show itself sees two teams of famous sports stars and pundits go head-to-head in this entertaining sports quiz. Consisting 8 episodes, the quiz show will be filmed in studio in RTE in Donnybrook from the 8th to the 11th of August in front of an audience, with an afternoon episode and evening episode each day.
For this, they are looking to get sports teams, clubs and supporters groups on board from right around the country to join the audience in each episode.
The clubs can give their own representation through this, by wearing their club or team colours, crests, sporting attire etc.
The show is going to be entertaining and fun and will be a great day out for clubs interested. They also want a good mix of sports involved, so whether your team or group consists 5 or 50 – from football to fencing and darts to draughts – they want to hear from them all!
As the show is being filmed in early August and places are limited, they would like to hear from teams as soon as possible who may be interested and would like more information.
They can contact our audience researcher at any time on sharon.newman@shinawil.com or 01 2084646.

A thank you message for our County Footballers
County FootballThe senior county footballers season came to an end last Saturday in Newry when Down defeated our young Leitrim team by 1-16 to 1-8. The scoreline doesnt do justice to a skillful and heartening display by our fully committed Leitrim team. In the first half they certainly held their own against last years beaten All Ireland finalists. The individual brillance of Benny Coulter and the Down teams experience and strenght in debth were crucial to their victory on the day. We wish them the very best of luck in their quest for All Ireland glory.
The Leitrim supporters who made the journey were fully appreciative of our teams performance on the day and we thank them for supporting the team so well in Newry and throughout the season. The Newry venue was fabulous as were the Down supporters who really made the travelling support very welcome.
Our players have now returned to their clubs and turn their attention to the upcoming club championships. We take this opportunity to thank the Leitrim players and management for all their efforts in the 2011 season. The defeat of Sligo in Markievicz Park was a special day for players and supporters alike and we CAN look forward to many more special days from this fine crop of players in the coming seasons.
THANKS LADS
