As a special Christmas treat, here’s an end of the year Quite Tricky Sports Quiz to try as you munch on the last of those mince pies.

As a celebration of one of the best sporting years the country has ever enjoyed, all ten questions relate to what has been a fabulous 2012.

Merry Christmas from all of us at the West Sussex County Times. Answers will be revealed here tomorrow.

Question 2: Wonder horse Frankel was retired at the end of this year having been hailed as the greatest ever Thoroughbred. But how many races did unbeaten Frankel win and who was his trainer?

Question 3: How many gold medals did Team GB win the London 2012 Olympics?

Question 4: Chelsea lifted the European Cup for the first time in their history back in May this year with a 4-3 win over Bayern Munich. Who scored Chelsea’s four spot kicks and as a bonus who was the one player to miss?
