Invictus Games

First held in 2014 for wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women (both serving and veterans), the sixth Invictus Games are currently taking place in Düsseldorf, Germany. There are 500 competitors from 21 nations, with the sports involved including athletics, rowing, powerlifting, wheelchair basketball, swimming, cycling and wheelchair rugby. – Sep 9th-16th, BBC

St Leger Festival

The four-day Doncaster festival begins on Thursday. The highlight is, of course, the world’s oldest classic, the St Leger, which was run on the Sunday last year due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II. This year, the Group One, 1¾-mile race (which, along with the 2000 Guineas Stakes and the Derby form the final part of Britain’s Triple Crown) reverts to the usual Saturday slot. – Thursday-Saturday, ITV & Sky Sports

Derry City v Shamrock Rovers

It’s second versus first in the Airtricity League on Friday evening at the Brandywell. The Dublin side are in the driving seat, sitting four points clear at the top of the Premier Division. Both sides have shown strong September form already, Rovers beating Bohemians 3-0, while Derry City hammered bottom side UCD 5-0. With seven matches left for each of the teams before the league concludes in the first week of November, this week’s game may well decide if supporters are set for a nail-biting finish to the season. – Friday, Virgin Media
