Naas GAA is turning its focus this week to Sunday’s Leinster Intermediate Hurling final against Wexford’s Oilgate Glenbrien in St. Conleth’s Park, Newbridge at 1pm.

Also next Sunday, the Kildare hurlers play Carlow in the Keogh Cup in Carlow.  The game time has been changed from 1pm to 4pm to avoid a clash with the Naas game.

Naas manager Tom Mullally also manages Carlow senior hurlers.

TENNIS

Australia's immigration minister is considering whether to cancel Novak Djokovic's visa again, after the world tennis number one's successful appeal.

Earlier, a judge ruled the government's decision to revoke it ahead of next week's Australian Open was "unreasonable".

SOCCER

Edinson Cavani has told manager Ralf Rangnick that he wants to stay at Manchester United and help improve the team's fortunes.

The 34-year-old joined the Old Trafford giants in October 2020 and was strongly tipped to leave after just one season.

United host Aston Villa tonight in the third round of the FA Cup at five past 8.

Middlesborough await the winners in the next round.
