SOCCER

Nottingham Forest and Everton are out of the Premier League relegation zone after a day which saw 21 goals in 3 top flight games.

Forest are 3 points clear of safety after they beat Southampton 4-3, with the Saints set to be relegated to the Championship.

Everton are 2 points free of the drop zone following their 5-1 defeat of Brighton.

Leicester City are in the bottom three - they lost 5-3 at Fulham.

The first Champions League semi final kicks off tonight, with Real Madrid hosting Manchester City at the Bernabeu.

The first leg gets underway in the Spanish capital at 8pm.

Luka Modric is fit for Real, but Nathan Ake is a doubt for the visitors.

City lost to Real at this stage of the competition last season.

GAELIC GAMES

Clare are into the Munster under 20 hurling final after a 3-17 to 17 point victory over Tipperary last night.

Thurles stages the Munster minor hurling decider between Clare and Cork from 7.30 this evening.

CRICKET

Ireland begin a three-match one-day series with Bangladesh this morning.

Should Ireland win the series 3-nil, then they could nick the final automatic qualifying spot from South Africa for this year's World Cup.

Chelmsford in Essex is hosting the series, with play getting underway this morning at 10.45.

CYCLING

Eddie Dunbar begins today's fourth stage of the Giro D’Italia in 19th position on general classification.

The Cork rider is 1-minutes and 47-seconds adrift of Remco Evenepoel in the race for the pink jersey.

Today's stage is one of the shortest of this year’s race, taking the peloton on a 166-kilometre trek from Venosa to the ski resort of Laceno .
