Clane Man's 'Motormouth Mutterings' scoops top award at Littlewood's Best Sport Blog .

Motorsport commentator and journalist Leo Nulty scooped top honours at the Littlewoods Ireland Blog Awards held last week with his Motorsport.ie website, winning Best Sports Blog at the exclusive event which was held at Duffy’s Circus in Dun Laoighaire.

A well known commentator of events at Mondello Park, Leo was formerly President of Naas Lion’s Club and as such, is a familiar face in the local voluntary and fundraising sector.

Motorsport.ie was set up in 2012 by Nulty and covers all aspects of motor-sport news, with particular emphasis on Irish events and Irish drivers abroad. Leo blogs under his ‘Motormouth's Mutterings’ column, whilst many race and rally drivers blog under the ‘Inside Line’ category of the website. In the last year, the site has begun covering F1 and has media accreditation from many of the top teams as well as Pirelli F1. David Hall is the site's F1 Editor.

Leo operates his business, Leo Nulty Promotions at Sallins Road, Naas which specialises in events, promotion and sports sponsorship activation, along with his sideline motoring blog, Motosport.ie.

In receiving the award, Leo said: "I'm over the moon. We were thrilled with Silver in the Motoring section last year, but the competition is far stiffer in the Sports section. Motorsport is a minority sport and I was delighted to make the finals. The fact that we have won this award is a reflection of the time and effort that the team have put in. Iwould like to thank all of my Inside Line bloggers, but especially David Hall, who has worked tirelessly on the site and our social media and Michael Chester, who has supplied us with superb images."
