Radio Newcastle commentator Nick Barnes’ meticulous, colour-coded match notes. To wit:
Despite the hours that Barnes pours into each page, he uses his notes only sparingly during actual gameplay. “They are there purely as a crutch and a point of reference if need be,” he said. “If I was a newspaper reporter, I could keep my match reports, but radio is transient, so my notebook is my personal record of the matches I cover.”

Fáilte Ireland will open the 2015 Sport Tourism European Summit in Thomond Park, County Limerick, this morning with a montage of Irish hospitality, passion and overachieving sporting greatness.
Miriam Kennedy of Fáilte Ireland writes:
It’s a pleasure to launch this video and present a snapshot of all that is good about Ireland. The purpose of “Ireland – The Event Island” video is to act as a key tool when selling Ireland as an event destination overseas. We believe it evokes a great sense of pride and hope that it will be used to profile, promote and pitch all that Ireland has to offer within the event space
