Apps How do I make a "live score centre?"

How would I go about developing a "live score centre" app? I follow a football team in the non-league and currently there are no live scores services at this level. I'm not looking to make a profit in this at all but I would create a network from up and down the country that would update the latest scores in THEIR games rather than us having to wait until 45 mins after the game to obtain the results.

Is this possible to do? How would I go about it?
 
Yes, you can do it. Use a server to store player's scores, then dish out the information to the user's.

I use PHP file on the server (accessed via HTTP) to store the information in the server's database, then a PHP file (also accessed via HTTP) to retrieve the top score list, which is processed and sent back to the phone through a JSON object.
