Each weekend we take a look back on the sporting highs from across Ireland and around the world through the medium of numbers.
6
The number of major football tournaments won by Italy, just one shy of Germany on the European Roll of Honour who have won seven.
3
The number of penalties missed by England players, despite us being told that they had practised their walk-ups, what they’d do to ease pressure and so much more. The fact that all three were only on the pitch as substitutes and two had only come on in the last minute of extra time suggests that much thought had gone in but all to little effect.
20
Novak Djokovic won his 20th Grand Slam Tennis event at Wimbledon, moving him alongside Federer and Nadal as the most successful of all time, and with the momentum to go yet further.
1
A single late point from Paddy McBrearty was all that separated Donegal and Derry in the Ulster Championship, the game of the summer so far.
24
It was a little more lopsided in Connacht where Mayo ran out 5-20 to 0-11 winner over Leitrim.
5
The number of consecutive Top 20 finishes for Seamus Power on the USPGA Tour, following his tie for 8th place at the John Deere Classic.
