Information obtained from the scoreboard at a match (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

data

'information' is the definition.
(data are bits of information)

'obtained from the scoreboard at a match' is the wordplay.
'obtained from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'DATA' is hidden within 'scoreboard at a match'.

(Other definitions for data that I've seen before include "Collection of items of information" , "What's stored by computers" , "tables, perhaps" , "Input; facts" , "Gathered stats" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
