A whole lot of love for Paula Radcliffe here with a whopping 7 votes. Wouldn't have predicted that! I actually went and rechecked the picture to make sure her name wasn't on her number!

To my mind the most obscure person from the 80 pictures was Kelly Proper, a Waterford athlete who I knew growing up and who has represented Ireland at numerous international events. To my surprise this was identified by Hello 2D Person Below and Local_Chap.

Carl Lewis and Gail Devers aced this round for Strawberry Milkshake and Zaph respectively.

Zaph has moved into a massive lead of 10 after this round due to their ace with Gail Devers! Davetherave unforuntately for him picked the biggest sheep this round.

Geotrig consolidated the wooden spoon place with an incorrect pick of Flo Jo. I can see why she was picked as the nail length was comparable!

Damn, I really thought Wade would of been the least known. I think it's worse when you know all of the answers for particular question and try to whittle it down to who you think is the best chance to PEEHS

I would have said Wade and Whitlock were the least well known for sure outside of O'Connor so it surprised me to see him being the most popular

I thought O'Connor might of been well known after reaching the World Cup final last year with Lennon and losing out to Wright and Anderson.

I'd say for a lot of casual darts fans, myself included, it's really only the PDC championship over Christmas that gets seriously higher viewer numbers.

I never miss that but during the year I rarely even think of switching on the darts

GAA



Cluxton
Carey
Geary
Brogan
Quilty
Shefflin
Mullane
Rossiter

Good to see DJ Carey top the poll here with 6 votes. Sadly shared with John Mullane who also got 6 votes. The only time a Waterford hurler has shared a trophy with a Kilkenny one

Bernard Brogan, who I've never laid eyes on before doing this was an ace for Sheridan81

My only obscure selection not to be picked across the competition was in this round which is Keith Rossiter, the ex Wexford hurler who I was in college with! I'd have been stunned if he was picked

Most incorrect answers this round showing that our national sport is not the most popular on boards

Zaph's lead is cut to 8 after this round but a lot of ground to make up in just 3 more rounds. Can Davetherave or Hello 2D Person below make a stunning come back!

Lol. I wouldn't expect you to get Carl Lewis so

Boxing/MMA




Rousey
Mayweather
McGuigan
McGregor
Taylor
Collins
Pacquiao
Joshua

A lot of love for a few entrants in this round with Rousey, Pacquiao and Collins all scoring heavily

Two aces available here too with Mayweather (ShaneU)and Taylor (Spook_ie)! Really surprised by this but again must have been tactical decision making.

Anthony Joshua was surprisingly not selected by anyone.

Zaph's lead shrinks once again but it's ShaneU with his ace this round who moves into second place 5 points back - Are we about to see a comeback on a par with Man United in 99? Everyone loves a good comeback don't they?
