Each weekend we take a look back on the sporting highs from across Ireland and around the world through the medium of numbers. This weekend there were feet on the streets in Belfast, success in Waterford and a goal to savour from an historic game.

43

The minutes on the clock when Alex Kavanagh scored this peach of a goal for Shelbourne FC in the first game to be televised live on TG4 from the SSE Airtricity Women’s National League on Saturday evening.

100

Josh Van Der Flier won his 100th cap for Leinster Rugby and was named Player of the Match in a tight 7-6 win in the second round of the United Rugby Championship.

That completed a full slate of Irish wins over the weekend with each of Connacht, Ulster and Munster scoring over 30 points.

9

John Murphy from Kinsale finished 9th in the Dunhill Links Championship over the weekend, securing a €76,000 pay day on only his third start on the European Tour.

8

Ballygunner became Waterford Club Hurling Champions yesterday with victory over Roanmore at Walsh Park. It is their eighth consecutive title.

3

Continuing the Waterford feel-good factor, Craig Breen secured his third consecutive podium finish in the World Rally Championship over the weekend coming third in the Rally of Finland.

5,000

5,000 runners took to the streets of Belfast yesterday for the Deep River Rock Belfast City Marathon, which, in the Covid absence of the Dublin Marathon, doubled up as the National Championships with Mick Clohisey and Fionnuala Ross taking the two titles.
