Sports quiz

Harold Disgracey · February 10, 2009, 05:27:53 PM

I'm running a sports quiz later this week & I could probably do with a few more questions/ideas. Anybody got any good sports trivia they wish to share? The quirkier the better!
I'll post the quiz up on Friday.

Check out the soccer trivia quiz, it has some crackers in it... Will get thinking about other ones...

Had a look at the soccer ones alright, I'm looking for questions on all sports, GAA. soccer, rugby, golf, horse racing, elephant polo, etc.

I was looking up stuff for you but ended up finding a ridiculous encyclopedia site.

Anyway I was trying to confirm that on 2 players have scored hat-tricks in the 6 nations against 2 diferent teams. I think it they are BOD and Mark Cueto. Might need a bit more research though.

Only player to play for 3 different teams in the Railway Cup: Martin Carney (Ulster, Connacht, Combined Universities)

What is the only 6 Nations team that Italy have never beaten at senior level? England.

Any half decent GAA history book will provide you with countless questions. Got one for Christmas and read in it that Kildare are the only county to win the All-Ireland twice with the same 15 players starting, first time I'd heard that and thought it would make a hell of a quiz question.

Might be an easy one but when was last year 4 teams in All Ireland senior finals... ( hurling and mens' football) with no player already held a senior All Ireland medal? Is not a trick question.

1987?

Galway might spoil that one.
