Hello again, and welcome to Balls.ie's patented friday trivia challenge "A question of know your sport". You quiz junkies out there can stop furiously pacing your office cubicle while biting your nails and nervously checking your watch. Your teasers are here and this week we cranked the quizometer to its maximum setting to give you the quizziest experience you've likely had since last week.
But first some housekeeping. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in crafting mind boggling teasers that we lose the run of ourselves. So congrats to last week's trivia winner Shane O'Reagan and here are the overdue answers.
Which 2 players have played in Merseyside, London, North East and Milan derbies? Paul Ince and Christian Ziege.
Name the three players since the start of the Premier League who have won two MOTD goal of the month comps in a row. Dwight Yorke, Tony Yeboah and Gareth Bale.
Which player came on as a substitute for his own father in an international match? Eidur Gudjohnsen.
Without stalling any longer, here are this week's teasers.
Which former outfield player represented Ireland 72 times without scoring and played 531 English league games while only scoring one goal?
Kenny Cunningham.
Munster and Leinster played two seismic Heineken Cup semi finals, in 2006 and 2009. But which poor sod warmed the bench for the losing team on both occasions?
Niall Ronan.
Who is the only player in Masters history to lose two playoffs? Ben Hogan.
Congratulations to todays winner Patrick Mulkerrin, you should receive your dated and underwhelming sports book by pony express between 8 and 29 days.
If you have the nerve, poise and grace under pressure to attempt these teasers, email your answers to [email protected]. The answers and a winner will be named at 5pm today.
We have really outdone ourselves with the prize this week. The lucky winner will receive a mystery sports book from the Balls.ie library that is guaranteed to be at least 8 years old and wildly out of date. So get your thinking caps on and give these teasers a go.
