Monday Morning Sports Update

Keeping you up to date on GAA, soccer, golf and tennis.

GAA

The draw has been made for the All Ireland Senior Championship Quarter Finals.

Cork will face Mayo, Tyrone will square off against defending champions Kerry,

Louth will take on Monaghan, while Dublin will face Galway.

Dubs boss Ger Brennan admits it's been a difficult task to mix the county's new blood with their experienced heads.

Josh Bannon's introduction of the bench marked a ninth championship debut for Dublin this season, as they defeated Donegal in extra time.

 

Meanwhile, Dublin will continue the defence of their Ladies football title against Cork on the weekend of July 5th.

There's also a Connacht derby between Galway and Mayo in the quarter finals of that competition.

Elsewhere, Munster champions Kerry will go up against Meath, and Armagh will take on Kildare.

 

Former Kerry footballer Mark O'Connor has penned a new deal with Australian rules club Geelong Cats.

The Dingle clubman had been linked with a return to inter county football following his decision to play the club championship season.

He was part of the Dingle side that won their first All-Ireland title in 77 years in January.

 

SOCCER

Defending World Cup champions Argentina face Austria in group J from 6pm this evening.

As it stands, they sit top of their pool following a 3-0 win Algeria in their opening fixture.

France also continue their group stage campaign, as they face Iraq from 10pm.

 

Neymar could be in line for a first appearance in this year's World Cup when Brazil take on Scotland.

Head coach Carlo Ancelotti has suggested that the former Barcelona and PSG winger will be available for Wednesday's game.

 

At home, the League of Ireland's European representatives are all in action this evening.

Derry City make the trip to Tallaght stadium for an 8PM start against top-of-the-league Shamrock Rovers.

Meanwhile, it's a much shorter journey for Bohemians, who face their north Dublin rivals Shelbourne.

They'll be looking to avoid a third loss in a row.

That kicks off at 7:45pm.

 

GOLF

Wyndham Clark survived a difficult final day at the US Open to lift the title for the second time.

A final-round 73 at Shinnecock Hills helped him finish on four-under-par, one shot ahead of Sam Burns - who went three under on the final day.

Rory McIlroy - the only Irish representative to make the weekend action - finished in a tie for 32nd place.

 

TENNIS

Serena Williams will make her return to Wimbledon after a four year hiatus.

The 24-time Grand Slam winner has been handed a wildcard ahead of the draw for the women's singles.

Williams had already received an invite to compete with her sister Venus in the doubles at SW19.
