Week 17
Christmas is nearly here. With that, comes the promise of a big, fat FootballJOE Quiz of the year. While we throw that together, the FootballJOE Pub Quiz will be taken a winter break, returning in the New Year. Next week’s edition, Week 18, will be the last of 2021. Consider this your notice.
