FROM ROBBIE BRADY to Rio de Janeiro, 2016 has been another busy year for Irish sport.

But how well do you remember those big moments and the people who were at the heart of it all?

We tested some of Ireland’s top sports stars with 10 questions in The42’s first-ever Christmas quiz.

Yesterday saw Colm Cooper knocked off the top of the leaderboard by Jackie Tyrrell, with the Kilkenny legend setting a new high score of 8/10 as the one to beat.

Today it’s the turn of another hurler, and our final GAA participant, 2016 Hurler of the Year Austin Gleeson of Waterford.

We reckon there’s at least one question in there where he should get the answer…
