As it was Easter it may have been that Chris was on holiday
Now that the Examiner is part of a larger publishing group, it could well be that they used the facilities of the "press Agency" - like Reuter - but for sports news-- who provide a service for newspapers in general if they wish
eg - one reporter goes to Aus for the ashes and reports back to Examiner/ say Southampton Echo etc--and several more -(shared costs)
Also say cover Wimbledon over here - and send report to papers in Aus/ France / and rest of Europe - a sort of "cooperatve"
or maybe Chris did it - and there was some counter arrangement with the Yorks Post on these lines cos of hols
Cant confirm THATS what happened -- but something similar to above stands a chance
