GAA: Jim McGuinness
In his weekly column today former Donegal manager Jim McGuinness outlines how he would reinvigorate the the All-Ireland championship.
McGuinness feels that abolishing the provincial championships would be a bad move as, instead of five trophies being on offer, there would be just one.
The columnist instead has his own ideas of how things could be changed, specifically the splitting of the All-Ireland championship into two distinctive 16-team groups.
Soccer: Internationals
Reporting from Malahide yesterday Emmet Malone describes how Martin O'Neill is well aware that the pressure is on Ireland to win Saturday's Euro 2016 qualifier against Scotland.
The Ireland squad was given the day off from training yesterday to spend time with their families but, from today, the pressure is well and truly on.
As part of the build-up to Saturday's game former Scotland manager Craig Brown has made some interesting comments on eligibility rules for international players.
Brown believes that the ‘granny rule’ should not only be scrapped but that the change should extend to manager’s and coaching staff.
Rugby: Pro 12
Referee Helen O'Reilly continues to rise through the official's ranks in Irish rugby and Johnny Watterson today reports that she could soon make the step up to become the first woman referee at Pro 12 level.
Last week O’Reilly was promoted to the IRFU’s A panel which allows her to be selected for All-Ireland League Division 1A games and as an assistant at Pro 12 games.
Golf: US Open
Despite missing out on qualifying for next week's major championship at Chamber's Bay Pádraig Harrington is still hopeful of teeing it up at the US Open.
The Dubliner will play in this week’s FedEx St Jude Classic at TPC Southwind in what is his very last hope of booking a seat to Washington.
Currently 91st in the official world rankings Harrington will realistically have to win this week to earn enough points to elevate him to the top 60 - the requirement for making it into the year’s second major.
