Keeping you up to date on GAA, soccer, rugby and racing.

GAA

This evening, there are a couple of semi-finals to look forward to in the Leinster Minor Football Championship.

Parnell Park hosts the meeting of Dublin and Meath.

Kildare travel to Ardee to play Louth.

Both of those games get underway at 7:30pm.

SOCCER

Tottenham missed the chance to take a big stride towards Premier League safety after being held to a 1-all draw by Leeds United last night.

Mathys Tel put the hosts ahead in north London, but he later conceded a penalty that Dominic Calvert-Lewin converted for the visitors.

Hull City have secured their place in the Championship play-off final at Wembley on Saturday week.

The Tigers were 2-0 winners away to Millwall in the second leg of their tie last night, following a scoreless draw in Friday's opening leg.

Tonight, Southampton and Middlesbrough will bid to join them in the final, with kick-off at 8pm.

RUGBY

Ireland winger Beibhinn Parsons admits she struggled with her recovery after a leg break in 2024.

The Galway native is in line to play in the team's first game at the Aviva Stadium in over a decade this weekend.

They'll take on Scotland, and will be looking to finish their Six Nations campaign with a flourish.

Killarney has the earlier start of 5:05pm for a seven-race card.
