ACM has expanded its partnership with Play HQ to deliver detailed local scores and stats to regional Australians to fuel their insatiable appetite for sport.

“You’ll only have to pass by a local footy oval on any given Saturday morning over the next 6 months to see the important role club footy plays in connecting communities. And that’s what’s exciting about this partnership with Play HQ; from grassroots to first grade we will present scores, tables and top scorers side-by-side with leading coverage from our local journalists.” said ACM Chief Technology Officer, Bruce Levine.

“We are committed to adding value to the experience of our 140,000 digital subscribers – as well as creating unique environments for our partners to connect with regional Australia. And this project delivers both.” Levine said.

The partnership with Play HQ, Australia’s leading provider of local sports data, will deliver detailed updates on local Aussie rules footy including full fixtures, results, ladders, as well as game stats such as goal kickers and best on ground. The relevant Play HQ data sits prominently in the sport section of ACM’s network of regional digital subscription brands; the AFL Canberra competition in The Canberra Times and the Northern Tasmanian Football Association in The Examiner.
