Kerry injury boost as Diarmuid O'Connor takes part in full training session
Diarmuid O'Connor participated in the full Kerry training session on Saturday afternoon, increasing hopes that the midfielder will make his return from injury in next weekend's All-Ireland SFC final against Donegal. Inside forward Paul Geaney (shoulder) also took full part in Saturday's session, with Tom O'Sullivan (calf) still not fully back, manager Jack O'Connor confirmed at the county's All-Ireland final media event. After a powerful start to the spring, midfielder O'Connor has endured an injury-plagued campaign since first hurting his shoulder during the Round 6 League win at home to Armagh in mid-March. His latest setback was at the beginning of the preliminary quarter-final win over Cavan four weeks ago, where he lasted just three minutes before having to withdraw. He has not featured since. Geaney was listed on the matchday panel for both the All-Ireland quarter-final and semi-final victories but was not used on either occasion, while defender O'Sullivan limped out of the quarter-final win over Armagh when picking up a first-half calf injury. 'Paul and Diarmuid trained fully today, and there are a couple more sessions to go, so that's promising,' Jack said on Saturday afternoon. 'Most fellas are back doing some training in some shape or form, which is good. Tom O'Sullivan isn't back fully yet, he's doing bits and pieces, so we'd hope he'd train next week. Outside of that we are not too bad. 'The season is so intense it is just very tricky deal with injuries because you don't really have that much time to get the injury right and then sometimes you are kinda half afraid to throw them into the maelstrom of a game without having done some intense training, so it can be tricky yeah with the tightness of the season.'

Sharlene Mawdsley to cheer on GAA star boyfriend in All-Ireland final
Irish Olympian Sharlene Mawdsley will likely be in attendance as she cheers on boyfriend Michael Breen in Sunday's All-Ireland Hurling final. Breen has been a mainstay in Tipperary Hurling through the years and is named to start against Cork in the eagerly anticipated final. Cheering him on will be relay star Mawdsley, who recently went public with the relationship. The 400 metre specialist revealed that she recently attended her first ever hurling match in Croke Park when she went to the All-Ireland semi-final win over Kilkenny and promised it won't be her last. Michael and Sharlene's romance was confirmed following Tipperary's 1-30 to 1-21 victory over Waterford in the Munster Senior Hurling Championship in May. Sharing a picture of them together in Semple Stadium in Thurles, Sharlene wrote: "Tippin' on." Michael also commented on their first public picture together, which he wasn't tagged in, and poked fun at his girlfriend, writing: "Any tag nah?" Michael has been named to start in Sunday's decider as he's put in another stellar year with the Premier County. Breen has twice won All-Ireland titles, starting in the 2016 and 2019 finals in midfield. Now 31 years old, he has reinvented himself as a corner back and will be looking for his first All-Star Award and third Celtic Cross. For Mawdsley, Sunday will be a brief respite from a gruelling training regime. The Tipperary native will be hoping for a personal best when she competes at this September's World Athletics Championships. Mawdsley, who turns 27 later this year, returned to the track after a short break following the shock passing of her father last month and recently competed at the Morton Games, where she won the 400-metre race. Tipperary take on Cork in the All-Ireland Hurling final this Sunday at 3.30 pm.

The Open live updates: Scottie Scheffler leads by a stroke at Portrush, Rory McIlroy seven adrift
35 minutes ago Leaderboard -10 Scheffler -9 Fitzpatrick -8 Harman, Li -5 Gotterup, R Hojgaard, MacIntyre, Hatton, English Irish -3 McIlroy +1 Lowry (8) The leaders' tee times: 2.30 Rory McIlroy, Jordan Smith 2.45 Keegan Bradley, Nicolai Hojgaard 2.55 Tony Finau, Chris Gotterup 3.05 Harris English, Robert MacIntyre 3.15 Tyrrell Hatton, Rasmus Hojgaard 3.25 Brian Harman, Li Haotong 3.35 Matthew Fitzpatrick, Scottie Scheffler 1 hour ago Afternoon all, welcome to day three of the Open at Portrush where Scottie Scheffler didn't just cope with miserable conditions yesterday, he thrived in them. His 64 was his lowest ever round at a major and left him a shot clear of Matt Fitzpatrick at the top of the leaderboard. Brian Harman, the 2023 Open champion, and Li Haotong are another stroke back, three ahead of a group of five players on five under. As Johnny Watterson puts it, Rory McIlroy 'put his adoring gallery through the wringer again' on Friday before steadying the ship to finish on -3, but Shane Lowry had a nightmarish conclusion to his day when he incurred a two strokes penalty for causing his ball to move during a practice swing on the 12th hole. That turned his round of 70 in to a 72, leaving him on level par - and he's down to +1 after a bogey at the second today. Johnny and Philip Reid fill you in on Friday's events: [ Shane Lowry suffers two-shot penalty and says he didn't want to be 'slaughtered' for 'being a cheat' Opens in new window ] [ Rory McIlroy knows that hanging in just won't cut it over the weekend Opens in new window ]
