The Victoria Shield (formerly known as Management Cup) impromptu debating tournament was held at Victoria University last night, with eleven teams entering.

The winners of the competition were Clodagh O’Connor-McKenna and Paul Smith, who defeated Ihaia Tichborne and Peter McCaffrey in the Grand Final, affirming the topic “That there should be a minimum price on alcohol”.

Beaten semi-finalists were Seb Templeton, Richard D’Ath, Christopher Bishop and Asher Emanuel.

Thanks to Stephen Whittington for organising the night, and also to the adjudicators for their time.
