Richmond was sports central over the weekend for "footy" and "hoops" with the Nations Cup (soccer) and Dolphin Classic (basketball) both taking place. Richmond News freelance photographer Gord Goble took in the action, capturing the spirit and pride from both events.

The World Cup in Brazil may be over, but the passion for international soccer was played out in full force on pitches across Richmond at the 35th Nations Cup tournament. In the men's open final at Boyd Oval on Sunday, Ireland came away with the title, beating India 1-0. Meanwhile, in the women's final, Caribbean ran out winners 3-1 over Italy.
