St. Patrick’s Day is all about tradition, history, and a bit of fun—so we put the Seawolves to the test with some Irish trivia. From legendary saints to traditional foods, here’s how the team tackled some classic St. Patrick’s Day questions.

Who is the Patron Saint of Ireland?

The obvious answer? St. Patrick. But some of the guys tried to throw in a curveball.
🗣 "Well, it’s probably too obvious if it’s St. Patrick... St. Brenon?"
🗣 "St. Alan Clark?"
🗣 "Patrick! It’s in the name!"

In the end, most of the team stuck with St. Patrick, and they were right.

What are Ireland’s national colors?

Green seems like the obvious answer, but some players weren’t convinced.
🗣 "Pretty sure it’s green."
🗣 "I’ll go with blue. Might be a trick question."
🗣 "Green and gold?"

While green is the most recognized, Ireland’s official colors include green, white, and orange. And historically, blue was once associated with the country too—so maybe not such a trick question after all.

What is Ireland’s national symbol?

The team locked in on one answer pretty quickly:
🗣 "The Shamrock."
🗣 "It has to be the Shamrock. The club doesn’t have four leaves."
🗣 "If it’s wrong, it’s terrible."

No need to worry—the Shamrock is indeed the correct answer!

What is the capital of Ireland?

Another seemingly simple one, but there were some mixed responses.
🗣 "The simple answer would be Dublin, but I’ll go Galway."
🗣 "Dublin’s the biggest city, but I think it’s Galway?"
🗣 "I’ll mix it up—Cork."

Dublin is Ireland’s capital, but we respect the creativity.

What’s the most traditional Irish meal?

🗣 "Shepherd’s pie."
🗣 "Corned beef and cabbage."
🗣 "Shepherd’s pie is a little more English, but who knows?"

While corned beef and cabbage is the classic St. Patrick’s Day dish in the U.S., shepherd’s pie is also a staple of Irish comfort food.

What’s the most famous mythical creature in Irish folklore?

There was only one answer here—mostly.
🗣 "The one and only… leprechaun!"
🗣 "David Busby? He’s a bit of a mythical creature sometimes!"
🗣 "Yeah, leprechaun for sure."

Safe to say, the leprechaun wins this round—though David Busby might be a close second.

From questionable geography to confident guesses, the Seawolves put in a solid effort
