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 feats to celebrate with an Irish first, the end of a Leitrim famine, a golfing world record and more…
26
The number of points scored by Ireland in their first-ever Women’s Rugby League international. That was enough to secure a two point victory over Wales in Colwyn Bay.
31
The Club Championships in Gaelic Games are in full swing around the country. Few Championships will be sweeter than Ballinamore who won the Leitrim Senior Football Championship for the first time in 31 years on Sunday, with new County Manager Andy Moran watching from the stands.
20
The number of PGA Tournaments that Rory McIlroy has won after his victory in the CJ Cup in Las Vegas on Sunday. He becomes the 39th professional golfer to achieve that feat.
3.5
The number of goals per game that have been scored in the SSE Airtricity Women’s National League since the beginning of September.
116
The number of points racked up by the four Irish provinces in the wins for Leinster and Ulster and the victory of Munster over Connacht in the United Rugby Championship.
24.75
The time in seconds it took a team of four European Tour professionals to complete the fourth hole in Valderamma, setting a Guinness World Record over the weekend. A 361-yard drive followed by a 140-yard approach and a four-foot putt secured the place in the golfing statistics books for Wilco Nienaber, Sean Crocker, Min Woo Lee and Nicolai Hojgaard
