SportsJOE’s Big Gaelic Football Championship Quiz of 2023

This will jog your memory.

The big Gaelic football championship quiz of 2023 has landed, so we hope you have been paying attention this year, because this one is not easy.

First up we have a round dedicated to Dublin, the champions, as we challenge you to remember the building blocks of their journey to glory this season.

Then we look at the provincial competitions, with questions based on the Connacht, Ulster, Munster and Leinster championships. There were some big moments and memorable incidents that we hope you haven’t forgotten about.

Then we go straight to the final day of the round robin competition when all hell broke loose. Everyone was crying out about the ‘lack of jeopardy’ that the group stages had to offer, and suddenly on the last day, there was more drama than Coronation Street season finale.

After that we look at the All-Stars, who won, who didn’t win, and who certain people thought SHOULD have won, but that’s the only clue we’re giving you.

A true Gaelic football fan will get at least 17/20 in this so we’re expecting big things from you.
