How Bizarre

Tuesday Morning Sports Update

Keeping you up to date on soccer, swimming and racing.

SOCCER
A win over Armenia tonight could breathe life back into the Republic of Ireland's World Cup qualifying campaign.

The two sides square off at the Aviva Stadium, a month on from Ireland's 2-1 defeat to the same opposition in Yerevan.

With just one point from their three games so far, the Boys in Green start the night bottom of Group F.

Kick off is at 7.45.

England can secure their place in next summer's finals if they win away from home against Latvia in Group K.

Shamrock Rovers captain Roberto Lopes helped Cape Verde qualify for the World Cup for the first time last night.

The African country - which has a population of just over 500-thousand - beat Eswatini 3-nil to secure a place at next year's finals.

Cork City's relegation from the Premier Division of the SSE Airtricity League was confirmed last night.

The Leesiders lost 2-1 to Shelbourne at Turners Cross, where Jack Henry Francis netted a late winner for the visitors.

The result moved Shels up to third with three league games to go.

In the First Division, Finn Harps and Kerry played out a 1-all draw in Ballybofey.

 

SWIMMING

Irish Olympic swimmer Shane Ryan has joined the Enhanced Games - which will allow athletes to use performance-enhancing substances during the competition.

Sport Ireland says they're "deeply disappointed" by the decision of Ryan, who represented the country at the Olympics in Rio, Tokyo and Paris.

The 31-year old confirmed his retirement from competitive swimming last week.
