Clare announce new football boss following Peter Keane departure
Paul Madden has been named as Peter Keane's successor as Clare football boss and is set to take charge for a three-year term. Madden will be a popular choice having guided Eire Og to three Senior Club Championships and is set to finalise his management team. He takes over from former Kerry boss Keane, who guided the side to the Munster final this year but failed to win any of their All-Ireland group games. In a brief statement, Clare GAA said: "We are delighted to announce Paul Madden as the Clare Senior Football manager for the next three years. Paul is a wonderful ambassador for Clare Football and has brought sustained success to his club Eire Og at senior level. We look forward now to supporting him in the role and in driving Clare football forward'. While Madden added: "It is often said what an honour it is to manage an Inter County Team .. never more so when it is your own County. There will be many challenges ahead, however, there is no doubt that through hard work, a positive attitude and above all a fantastic group of footballers in Clare we will meet the challenge head on'.

Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler face off at BMW Championship
The top two players in the world will play side by side in the first two rounds of the BMW Championship, as the PGA Tour paired Scottie Scheffler with Rory McIlroy to begin the penultimate tournament of the season. Scheffler and McIlroy will tee off 11:16 am (4:16pm Irish time) on Thursday at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, and they are not only one-two in the world rankings, but also in the FedEx Cup race as the season winds down. The duo combined to win three of the four major championships this year and Scheffler is the defending FedEx Cup champion, while McIlroy has won it three times. When Scheffler and McIlroy played together in the first two rounds of the PGA Championship, alongside Xander Schauffele, Scheffler shot five-under par on his way to capturing the major title, while McIlroy struggled to one over and eked into the weekend. This will also mark McIlroy's first PGA Tour tournament since he finished in a tie for seventh at the Open Championship, won by Scheffler. McIlroy skipped the FedEx St Jude Championship, the play-off opener. There is no 36-hole cut at the second play-off leg, but only the top 30 in the points standings following Sunday will move on to the Tour Championship next week. Shane Lowry starts the tournament in 23rd place in the FedEx rankings and will tee off at 3:27pm (Irish time) in the opening round alongside Canada's Nick Taylor Schauffele, 43rd in the standings after an injury-interrupted season, needs a stellar finish to crack the top 30. He'll play his first two rounds with Michael Kim. Other notable pairings include Rickie Fowler with Venezuela's Jhonattan Vegas, numbers 48 and 49 in the points standings entering the week, and England's Justin Rose with JJ Spaun. Rose and Spaun went to a playoff at the St. Jude, and Rose prevailed on the third playoff hole to beat the US Open champion. Spaun and Rose sit third and fourth in the season standings.

Schools rugby concussion fears as injuries not taken seriously by non-pro players
More than a third of Irish school rugby players are willing to continue playing while suffering a concussion, a new study has revealed. Under IRFU rules, players should immediately leave a game if they suffer a suspected concussion. However, researchers said it was evident that the attitude of some players toward brain injury is still influenced by the pressure of important games. The study revealed that 11% of school players claimed they personally felt a concussed player should return to play during a semi-final game, compared to 4% of club players. More than a third of Irish school rugby players are willing to continue playing while suffering a concussion, a new study has revealed. Pic: Getty Images Researchers at UCC's School of Medicine and Cork University Hospital surveyed over 520 IRFU-registered rugby players from 17 clubs. They found that 35% of school rugby players are willing to continue playing while suffering a headache brought on by a mild concussion. The researchers wrote that this attitude was 'somewhat concerning'. Richard Boardman, a UK solicitor representing more than 1,000 former rugby union and rugby league players in a class action brain injury lawsuit, told the Irish Daily Mail he is 'worried about the current and future players'. He said: 'We are sadly seeing the same neurological impairments at all levels of the game.' The study revealed that 11% of school players claimed they personally felt a concussed player should return to play during a semi-final game, compared to 4% of club players. (Stock Image) Pic: Getty Images The UCC study revealed that 20% of school players said most athletes would feel a concussed player should resume playing during a semi-final game, compared to 9% of club players. Researchers also found that overall, rugby players in Ireland were able to identify concussion signs and symptoms correctly 78% of the time, but there was 'a significant knowledge gap' about chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) – a progressive brain disease linked to repeated concussion. There are approximately 20,000 registered club players of rugby in the Republic, as well as 22,600 school players. Around a third of both club and school players surveyed incorrectly believed that wearing a scrum cap can prevent a player from getting CTE.

Mr Boardman said: 'CTE isn't just a risk in older retired players. It's been found post mortem in young people who have died. 'Just a few years ago in Australia, Keith Titmuss, a 20-year-old rugby player, died at a training session.' Mr Titmuss collapsed during a two-hour training session with his Sydney rugby club in November 2020 after becoming agitated and suffering several seizures. An inquest heard that his body temperature was over 40C at the time of death and he already had Stage 2 of CTE, which has been linked to depression, mood swings and impulsive behaviour. Pic: Getty ImagesAn Oxford University study of 15,000 people found that people who had three or more concussions had significantly worse cognitive function. Pic: Getty Images Mr Boardman added: 'This is very real and concerning for all ages. The neurological impact has a wide array of symptoms from memory loss, aggression, migraines, sensitivity to light. You wouldn't wish it on your worst enemy. I believe that these injuries are an existential threat to contact sports. 'The attitudes [highlighted by] this study towards head injuries need to be quashed. It's not just concussions that are the worry, but dangerous repetitive sub-concussive blows to the head during tackles.' The study found that almost nine out of ten respondents said they had received previous education about concussion, but only 8% said they had received prior information about CTE, while 76% were largely unfamiliar with the disease. Researchers found that 46% of club players had experienced a medically diagnosed concussion at least once in their playing career, with 16% recording three or more diagnosed concussions. Among school players, 41% had experienced a medically diagnosed concussion, with 4% having three or more diagnosed concussions. An Oxford University study of 15,000 people found that people who had three or more concussions had significantly worse cognitive function, which got successively worse with each subsequent concussion after that. Club players scored significantly higher than school players in relation to knowledge about concussion and correctly identifying signs and symptoms of concussion. However, some common misconceptions exist among both player groups, including statements related to experiencing a coma. Just 15% of club players and 11% of school players correctly answered that an athlete who gets knocked out after getting a concussion is experiencing a coma. The authors of the report said the results, when compared to similar previous studies, suggested there had been a positive shift in the attitudes of rugby players in Ireland towards a safer approach overall. They claimed such a finding might reflect the IRFU's ongoing efforts to promote safer practices at both club and school levels, but called on the sporting body to add more information on CTE to existing educational resources. A spokesman for the IRFU said: 'We are aware of a recent report on attitudes to concussion in the school's game. The IRFU's own data, through the ongoing IRIS study, highlighted this already, and the Union has been working proactively with the stakeholders in the school's game across all the provinces to address this.'
