Football (soccer) score updatesUsing the data gathered from BBC Sport, football (soccer) updates are posted to a user account where any Twitter users can recieve updates on their favourite team.

The script imports a configuration file (tweet_results_config.py) which specifies the RSS feed sources and defines the Twitter feeds to be notified.
