Talk the Talk in Concern Debates

Hazelwood Talk the Talk in Concern Debate Competition

Hazelwood College began their 2012-13 Concern Debates campaign with a victory over Presentation Convent, Listowel. Hazelwood’s team, Julia O’Doherty (Captain), Alannah Matthews, Grace Morey and Lara Grufferty successfully proposed the motion that ‘The world has more to fear from President Romney than from President Obama’.

In a robust and charged debate, Hazelwood and Listowel gave an expert demonstration of debating skills. Throughout the course of the evening, the competition was on a knife edge. Despite the debate being the first in this year’s competition, the standard on both sides was very high, especially in refutation and rebuttal. Hazelwood’s team, all Transition Years, will face St. Mary’s, Charleville in the coming weeks.
