Saint Patrick's Athletic will march to Liechtenstein with a two-goal cushion after they eased by FC Vaduz in the UEFA Conference League second qualifying round first leg. The Stephen Kenny era may have had an underwhelming start domestically but in Europe it began with a bang as a sumptuous first-half brace from Jake Mulraney to put the Saints two up inside 18 minutes.

"Everything happened quite quickly," said O’Connor. "I got the call on Tuesday, flew over on Wednesday, signed on Thursday so it would be nice to play and score on Friday.

Damien Duff and his players will return home with everything to do at Tolka Park after they fell behind in just the 27th second through a powerful shot from Ifeanyi Onyedika.

Impressive Royal Ascot winner Bedtime Story comfortably maintained her unbeaten record with a professional display in the Jockey Club of Turkey Silver Flash Stakes at Leopardstown.

Barry McCarthy claimed three for 42 to help Ireland dismiss Zimbabwe for 210 on the first day of their one-off Test in Belfast. On a historic day at Stormont Cricket Ground, with Northern Ireland becoming the 23rd country to host a men's Test, the home bowling attack fought back after a difficult start to take the final eight Zimbabwe wickets for 67 runs before rain brought a premature end to proceedings.

Peter Canavan thinks Kieran McGeeney might consider deploying Stefan Campbell from the start for Sunday's All-Ireland final. Both benches this weekend have proven to be considerable weapons en route to the decider, with Armagh squadron of replacements out-scoring Kerry's 0-04 to 0-02 in the closing stages of the semi-final, while in the quarter-final, Galway's subs bench out-scored All-Ireland champions Dublin, an unthinkable notion over the previous decade.

Auguste Rodin to face eight rivals in King George

Jul 25, 2024 | rte.ie | O'Donovan grounded

Auguste Rodin heads a high-class field of nine runners declared for the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Qipco Stakes at Ascot on Saturday. Bitterly disappointing in this race 12 months ago having won the Derby and the Irish equivalent, he bounced back to claim the Irish Champion Stakes and Breeders' Cup Turf. Aidan O’Brien’s charge was last seen winning the Prince of Wales’s Stakes at the Royal meeting and will be a hot favourite to follow up on his return to Berkshire this weekend.
