This sporting life: sports take over the Books Quiz

In a special edition, sandwiched between All-Ireland finals, this week's books quiz is on a sporting theme and written by Eddie Ryan, author of The Little Book of GAA Facts

With the dust still settling after Sunday's All-Ireland football final and the excitement building ahead of Saturday's All-Ireland hurling final replay, even the books page is not immune, so we are handing over this week's books quiz to Eddie Ryan, author of The Little Book of GAA Facts (Mercier).

The book is a comprehensive collection of stories, statistics and little-known facts from the worlds of hurling, camogie, men's and ladies' football and handball.

Ryan is the sports writer for Ireland's Own and is very active online in all the major GAA forums. He lives in Templemore, Co Tipperary.
