Cork are continuing their celebrations this morning following their victory over Galway in yesterday's All-Ireland senior camogie final.

Second half goals from Saoirse McCarthy and Orlaith Cahalane proved crucial for Ger Manley's side, as they held on for a 2-14 to 0-19 win at Croke Park.

It's a third title in four years for the Rebels as they gained revenge on the Tribeswomen for last year's loss in the decider.

There was a record number of people in attendance at GAA Headquarters, with 33.419 supporters watching on.

Antrim's one-year stint in the intermediate championship is over after they eased to a 1-22 to 0-11 win against Laois.

Armagh ended their wait for the junior crown with a 0-17 to 0-15 victory over Ulster rivals Cavan.

SOCCER

St Patrick's Athletic are in outright second place following yesterday's results in the SSE Airtricity Premier Division.

Anthony Olusanya and James Brown were on the score sheet for Stephen Kenny's men in a crucial 2-1 win against Shelbourne at Tolka Park.

Pat's are seven points behind league leaders Shamrock Rovers.

Meanwhile, Bohemians are ten points off top spot.

A 3-1 defeat away to Waterford meant that their title hopes were severely dented, while the hosts moved out of the bottom two as they continue to battle against relegation.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says new signing Bruno Guimaraes has arrived at the club determined to make history.

The 75-million pound midfielder was presented to fans ahead of yesterday's friendly defeat to Borussia Dortmund at the Emirates.

ATHLETICS

46 Irish athletes will be competing at this week's European Athletics Championship, with the action getting underway in Birmingham this morning.

Mark English and Cian McPhillips will both be hoping to pick up medals in the 800-metres.

Their first round heats begin at 10.45am.

McPhillips was one place off medalling in last year's World Championships as he finished in fourth, while English holds the fastest time for a European in 2026.
