Declan Bonner not ruling himself out of running for Fermanagh job
Declan Bonner has not ruled himself out of the running for the vacant Fermanagh manager role. Kieran Donnelly surprisingly stepped down as Fermanagh boss earlier this week. It was a shock as he had been given an extension until 2027. The genial Brookeboro man, who had been in charge since the 2022 season, was not keen to elaborate on his reasons for going when contacted. Donnelly was desperately unlucky that his side did not beat Down in the Ulster Championship but poor defeats to Carlow and Kildare in the Tailteann Cup were not encouraging. Already the rumour mill is in overdrive in a season where county managers are falling like flies. One man who could be in the running is current Erne Gaels boss Bonner. When contacted, Bonner said he was 'not ruling anything out or in". Naturally his full focus is now on retaining the Fermanagh county championship with Erne Gaels. His stock has risen considerably in Fermanagh after he and his coaching team of Paul Brennan and Ciaran Smith took the men from Belleek to their first county title since 1981. Bonner stepped down as Donegal manager in 2022 after five years at the helm. Another Donegal man who could be in the running is Maurice McLaughlin, who has been involved with the Erne County at underage level for the past six years. McLaughlin has a strong affinity with Erne Gaels as well. He took them to a county final appearance in 2016 only to lose to Derrygonnelly Harps by a single point. His older brother Liam is a former Fermanagh senior captain. Bonner and McLaughlin look to be definite candidates but two well-known brothers, Simon and Colm Bradley, could be outside contenders. Simon Bradley, the elder brother, is a highly respected figure having brought Enniskillen Gaels to a county title in 2022. He is fully focused on Enniskillen Gaels at present and will be hoping to make up for the disappointing county final defeat to Erne Gaels last year. Bradley was also a former county star. His younger brother Colm is also a highly respected coach and manager. As a player, he will always be remembered for kicking a wonderful point in the All-Ireland qualifiers against Meath in Brewster Park in 2004 when Fermanagh reached the All-Ireland semi-final. He has also managed Belnaleck to the most narrow of defeats in the county semi-final and is currently managing in Tyrone. The former journalist has linked up with McLaughlin previously in the Fermanagh U20 setup.

Archie Ryan excited to make Grand Tour debut at Vuelta a Espana: ‘There are going to be loads of opportunities'
Irish riders Eddie Dunbar and Archie Ryan will be on the start line for the Vuelta a Espana when it starts this Saturday in Piedmont, Italy. Ryan, the 23-year-old from Wicklow, will be racing in his first Grand Tour after being selected by his team, EF Education-EasyPost, on a young squad that lacks an obvious leader after the withdrawal of Richard Carapaz due to illness. With 11 summit finishes across the 21 stages, the mountainous Spanish Grand Tour should suit the young Irish rider who goes into the race on the back of a solid week at the Vuelta a Burgos earlier this month and having finished second overall at the Tour of Austria in July. 'I'm super, super excited,' said Ryan. 'I think it is going to be a great three weeks. I haven't done a Grand Tour before, so I'm excited for the experience. We've got a super young squad. It'll be pretty exciting and hopefully Poppy Chaves [Esteban Chaves] can guide us through it nicely. 'I want to try and get in the break in some of the harder stages and fight for a stage win or two. That's the goal. There are going to be loads of opportunities. 'That is why I'm just really excited to go there. It is the grand tour that has the stages that suit me the best.' Ryan is one of four EF debutants alongside Markel Beloki, Lukas Nerurkar, and Jardi van der Lee while Esteban Chaves, James Shaw, Madis Mihkels and Sean Quinn have also been selected Dunbar will return to the Vuelta with happy memories after winning two stages of last year's race and forms part of a three-pronged leadership for Jayco-Alula alongside Ben O'Connor and Chris Harper. The Wicklow-born Danish rider Chris Juul Jensen is also on the eight-rider team. The confirmation of Dunbar's selection comes a day after it was announced he will leave the Australian team at the end of the season and move to Swiss team Q36.5 Pro Cycling. The 28-year-old Corkman warmed up for the Vuelta by racing in the Arctic Race of Norway last week after he was forced to withdraw from his first Tour de France on stage 8 following a crash. The race features 3,151km of racing across four countries, with 53,914m of elevation gain.

Galway teenager John Shortt storms into world final
Ireland's John Shortt has stormed into the 100m backstroke final at the World Aquatics Junior Championships in Otopenia, Romania. The 18-year-old, Ireland's only representative at the championships, set a new Irish junior record in qualifying. Shortt, the 2025 European junior champion in the event, is now the second fastest Irishman ever over the distance after a swim of 53.80 in Tuesday's semi-final. Only Shane Ryan's 2019 Irish record of 53.73 is faster. The Galway native cruised through the heats in 54.39 in fourth overall. Tuesday's first semi-final saw Shortt, and American Gavin Keogh (53.52) take the top two spots for Wednesday's final, the second semi-final won by neutral athlete Georgii Iokevlev in 53.90. "I am very very happy with that swim, a PB which is nice," said Shortt. "You know since trials (in April) I haven't been 53 in that event, so to be 53.8 there I'm absolutely delighted with that. It's going to be a really really close final tomorrow, three of us going 53's and the Aussie going 54.0. It's going to be a very very packed final (on Wednesday), but I've just got to keep doing my own thing and I'll be ok. "I was very surprised as well with that swim, because coming off the back of (the world senior championships) it's been - to be completely honest - a very lonely ten days in between. So just want to give massive credit to (my coach) John Szaranek for keeping me going these past ten days or so because it's just been the two of us really. It's been great and I've loved it and I really want to end the season on a big high." The final will take place at 4:02pm on Wednesday.
