A Gaelic match is not just a final score. It's sixty-plus minutes of scores flying in, kickouts won and lost, subs, cards, and sin-bin countdowns, all happening faster than you can scribble on the back of a programme. Scora keeps up with you through it, with speed-first one-tap logging, a live clock, and clear stats, so you never miss a moment and always know how the game is really going. Scora is designed for anyone on the sideline of Gaelic games, such as: Club coaches and managers tracking their team every weekend Selectors and stats people keeping the numbers on the line Mentors of juvenile, school, and college teams Parents recording their child's matches Players reviewing their own scoring form Club PROs sharing score updates as they happen Teams playing football, hurling, camogie, or LGFA Anyone who wants real match stats without a laptop and a spreadsheet If you need a GAA match tracker that keeps pace with the game, credits every scorer, and turns a season of matches into stats you can actually use, Scora was built for you. Key Capabilities at a Glance Speed-first, one-tap logging for goals, points, two-pointers, wides, and frees Built for Gaelic football, hurling, camogie, and LGFA, with each code's rules Match clock with halves, extra time, and live sin-bin countdowns Cards, sin bins, and substitutions tracked per player Shot map and heatmap on a true GAA pitch Kickout and puckout retention, including clean vs break and long vs short Shooting accuracy, scores vs wides, and frees scored vs missed Full match timeline you can review and edit at any time Top scorers and player totals for every match Season and competition roll-ups with record, form, and points for and against Tactics board to arrange your team and draw plays Share score updates, match report images, PDFs, and CSV exports Match alerts that keep working with the app closed and the phone locked Full backup and restore so your seasons move with you to a new phone Works fully offline, no account needed Private and secure, your data stays on your device Tracking a match is not about drowning in numbers. It's about capturing the game as it happens so the story is there afterwards, in the dressing room, at training, and across the season. Scora keeps the logging out of your way so you can keep your eyes on the pitch. Disclaimer Scora is an independent match-tracking and statistics tool for personal and team use.
