Sharlene Mawdsley puts GAA star boyfriend through his paces on training holiday
Ahead of her next race on Saturday in Bern, the Newport native has been working out alongside her Tipperary All-Ireland winning hurler and boyfriend Sharlene jokes that Mikey did not approve of the training clips being shared Sharlene also had time to relax Just because they're on a sun holiday to Tenerife doesn't mean Olympian Sharlene Mawdsley and her GAA star boyfriend Mikey Breen have taken a break from training. Ahead of her next race on Saturday in Bern, the Newport native has been working out alongside her Tipperary All-Ireland winning hurler and boyfriend. Clips on her social media show the couple training in the heat as she gets acclimatised to conditions she can expect in the Swiss capital where temperatures are hitting 34 degrees. The couple in training News in 90 Seconds - August 13th However, in other pix she appears to have taken time out to get dressed and enjoy the 'delicious' weather. The sprinter powered to victory at Morton Stadium over the bank holiday weekend with an impressive 200m win at the National Championships in Santry. Speaking to RTE after the victory, the running star declared: 'I'm absolutely thrilled. 'I knew today was going to be a really hard task and to come out on top,' she added. 'I was just saying to myself, stay calm, stay strong, and dig deep and thankfully I ended up winning the title. 'It was a pity about the wind, but it was close to a PB and that'll give me great confidence heading into my last race before Worlds on the 16th of this month.' On the back of an All-Ireland Final win for Breen and her first 200m national title, she is also celebrating just turning 27-years-of-age. In a birthday tribute, Breen posted a series of snaps of the pair together along with a childhood picture of Sharlene in Tipperary colours. Sharlene also shared a pic of a gift of "27 roses for 27 years" for her birthday with her 274,000 Instagram followers. Sharlene also had time to relax Sharlene was at Croke Park to cheer on her partner for the Premier County's 2025 All-Ireland Final victory over Cork. And a video widely shared online showing her beating former hurler Brian 'Buggy' O'Meara in an impromptu race on the day after the All-Ireland final homecoming festivities soon went viral Earlier this summer Sharlene was devastated following the tragic passing of her father Thomas (Tucker) Mawdsley (67). He died in June, just days after Sharlene competed in the third edition of Grand Slam Track in Philadelphia where she had achieved a season's best. Earlier this year, Sharlene competed in the mixed 4x400m relays in the first round at the World Relays in Guangzhou, China. She was joined by her Irish teammates Conor Kelly, Rhasidat Adeleke and Cillín Greene, who combined to finish second and earn a spot in the World Athletics Championships later this year. She also narrowly lost out on a bronze medal in the 4x400m relay event at last year's Olympic games in Paris. In May Sharlene and Mikey went 'Instagram official' as she shared a snap of herself and her beau wearing matching GAA jerseys. 'Tippin' on,' she captioned the post which shows the pair beaming down the camera at Semple Stadium. Sharlene jokes that Mikey did not approve of the training clips being shared Taking to the comments, fans expressed their delight at the pairing. 'Two of Tipp's finest athletes. Magic,' wrote one person. 'Hon Tipp,' added another. A third shared: 'Premier class through and through.' Singer and fellow Tipp woman Una Healy gave her seal of approval, simply commenting the heart eye emoji. Mikey himself responded to the post with: 'Any tag, nah?', poking fun at his girlfriend for not tagging him in the picture. Sharing the snap to his own social media, he commented: 'This fan was following me around all day.'

Oasis Dublin pop-up store extends opening as demand skyrockets
An Oasis pop-up store launched in Dublin ahead of the Supersonic hitmakers' two sold-out Croke Park shows has extended its opening hours. The pop-up store, which opened on the August Bank Holiday Monday (August 3) and was initially set to remain selling merch until Sunday August 17, will now remain open until Tuesday, August 19 due to increased demand. Located at 113 St Stephen's Green, at the former site of The Well pub, fans will be able to grab their goodies before hitting GAA headquarters for the much-anticipated gigs. The shop will stock official Oasis Live '25 merch, including exclusive vinyl and adidas Originals x Oasis collaborations. Pop-ups have been set up in every city that the Gallagher brothers have visited so far. While walk-ins are welcomed, fans can also pre-book a slot here . Tickets for the Oasis reunion sold out across all venues due to huge demand when they went online. However, there are still several options available for fans trying to snag a last-minute spot. Limited last-minute tickets can be bought from the official Ticketmaster resale site, where fans who can no longer go sell their seats, although these tend to go into and out of stock quickly. Elsewhere, resale sites like Viagogo, Vivid Seats, StubHub and Twickets are selling tickets for various dates, although fans should always bear in mind that many official sites, such as Ticketmaster and Live Nation, discourage the purchase of resale tickets. Meanwhile Seat Unique has some VIP tickets available offering a host of additional perks alongside access to the gig.

Oasis fans thrilled to hear songs from polarising album on Live '25 tour
A record that divided listeners when it first dropped has thrilled Oasis devotees as it remains part of their Live '25 tour. The unexpected inclusion of tracks from this contentious album has prompted some supporters to praise Liam and Noel Gallagher, with numerous fans admitting they remain "surprised" by these choices. While the Live '25 tour has primarily spotlighted material from (What's the Story) Morning Glory? and Definitely Maybe, the group has also woven in several rarities. Tracks from their compilation record, The Masterplan, have appeared in Oasis' performances, alongside a selection of numbers from Be Here Now. The outfit will take the stage at Croke Park on August 15 and 16 before travelling to the United States. Audiences were caught off guard by the group's choice to perform material from their third record, which polarised fans upon its 1997 launch. The track Stand By Me has appeared on the album, catching many by surprise despite being amongst Oasis' most familiar numbers. A message on the r/Oasis subreddit saw one enthusiast enquire: "Anyone else surprised they did any Be Here Now songs in 2025? "I had the impression they were trying to pretend that album didn't exist and I see they played Stand By Me at Wembley. I'll be damned lol." Others were amazed to witness the band reviving these songs for their live performances, though suggest there were clues this might occur during the siblings' individual tours. One fan wrote: "They were both doing Stand By Me solo so not a surprise to me. Liam seemed to like D'You Know What I Mean as well but had stopped playing it as much. It was great to see both get a turn!" Another expressed hopes for the band to perform other songs from the album on future dates. They wrote: "I wish they did Don't Go Away too that would be healing." Liam and Noel Gallagher have been performing together for the first time in 16 years (file) (Image: Tony Nicoletti/Daily Record) However, another fan doesn't believe it's likely, suggesting that Liam Gallagher can "no longer sing" the demanding song. They suggested: "I think Don't Go Away has the same issue Stop Crying Your Heart Out has, i.e. the vocal is simply too demanding for Liam. "Don't Go Away didn't even stay in the setlists for a whole tour as Liam had dropped it by late 1997 and Noel had to take it over. Liam did say in about 2017 that he wouldn't do it on the next tour but possibly in the future and nothing materialised. "Possibly because he found he couldn't sing it. I think the only other song from Be Here Now that might pop up eventually is Be Here Now, Liam has done it multiple times, it's quite upbeat and is seemingly an easy song for him to perform. "All Around the World is too long, and the rest of the album likely wouldn't even register on Noel's radar for a modern setlist."
