    The Alphabet Sheep game seems to be hugely popular so... why not keep this going :D

    This time we're going for sports teams! GAA, Soccer, Rugby - if they play a team sport then they're eligible - hell even if they're not, they are in Sheep!!

    The format for newcomers...

    I will present to you a list of the letters of the alphabet and all you have to do is PM me back your list, unnumbered. DO NOT post your list on thread

    The topic of this quiz is Sports Teams - PM me a list of 26 Sports Teams in alphabetical order.

    Use the below as a template:

    A
    B
    C
    D
    E
    F
    G
    H
    I
    J
    K
    L
    M
    N
    O
    P
    Q
    R
    S
    T
    U
    V
    W
    X
    Y
    Z


    As always, there are no incorrect answers in Sheep.... but can you pick the most popular one? Let's find out!

    Closing date at present will be Sunday, 1st September with reveal to take place some time the following week - most likely Monday, 2nd September.

    Let's Get Sheepin!

    Might be worth adding to the OP to not include the letters at the start of the answers ;) every extra minute wasted is a minute of superior giffage searching lost :pac:

    I'll put something together. Hitting mid-table has inspired me to try again.

    Off-topic: I only just zoomed into the image properly and realised that it was sheep breeds. Where did it come from - they're crazy breeds. Why would you have a cotswold and not a charollais? Or a Tunis but not a texel? Madness.

    So just to clarify, we leave the letters in and the questions and add a small comment about why we picked each answer?

    Do we need to be specific about the sport? For example, if there were a county would you have to mention a specific sport. ie Can I say 'Ballygobackwards' or do I have to say 'Ballygobackwards Hurling' or 'Ballygobackwards Football'?
