The last one of the year, before we round out with a New Year’s Day special.
On the final day of 2023, the SportsJOE Christmas quiz is back to test your sporting knowledge.
Many of you got close to top marks on the first offering. Day two proved a bit tougher but we went easier on you on day three, and mixed it up on day four. As for day five, that was a doozy. Day six, now, that was a whopper! On day seven, the average score was 15/20, before ye pulled it back (a smidge) on day eight.
We have 20 questions across four categories – Movies & TV, Geography, Records and General Knowledge – that will test your wits, and bring back a few sporting memories.
