Football fans across Ireland have one last chance to prove their knowledge in the fourth and final instalment of the weekly Irish football quiz. With premium Ireland tickets on offer and the leaderboard finely poised, speed and accuracy could decide who finishes on top.
Sports Ireland quiz reaches its final week
The Thursday night challenge has tested supporters over the past three weeks, covering the history, players and memorable moments of Irish football. The final round gives participants an opportunity to add to their combined score and challenge for the overall prize.
The competition is being run in association with Carlsberg 0.0, with the winner set to receive a pair of premium tickets for Ireland’s meeting with Kosovo at the Aviva Stadium on 17 November. For followers of Ireland football, it is a chance to combine a love of the game with the possibility of attending a major international fixture.
How the leaderboard stands
Two players, Emma and Peter, share first place after the opening three quizzes. Both have scored the maximum 70 points in every round, giving them a perfect combined total of 210.
David C. sits third on 190 points after improving to full marks in the second and third quizzes. David S. is fourth on 180, while Naylor completes the top five with 130 points.
With 70 points available in each quiz, the final round could still have a major impact on the standings. However, contestants should remember that tied scores are separated by combined completion time, making quick correct answers particularly important.
- Emma – 210 points
- Peter – 210 points
- David C. – 190 points
- David S. – 180 points
- Naylor – 130 points
What fans need to know before playing
New players can still enter the competition, although they must complete the earlier quizzes if they want their scores to carry across the full contest. The same email address must be used for each attempt, and only the first submission in every quiz is counted.
An email address is also required for a leaderboard entry. That means supporters should check their details carefully before submitting their answers, particularly if they are aiming to challenge for the prize.
Rules for the Irish football quiz
The format is straightforward, but the scoring rules matter:
- Each quiz offers a maximum of 70 points.
- Only the first attempt at each weekly quiz counts.
- The same email address must be used throughout the series.
- Speed acts as the tiebreaker when players finish level on points.
That combination of football knowledge and quick thinking is likely to make the final leaderboard especially competitive. Emma and Peter begin the last round level, so even a perfect score may not be enough if one player completes the quiz faster.
