Max Kennedy loses in playoff in bid for breakthrough win
Max Kennedy's bid for a breakthrough win on the hotelplanner Tour came up narrowly short after the 23-year-old Dubliner lost out to England's James Morrison in a playoff at the Blot Play9 tournament at Golf Bluegreen de Pléneuf Val André in Brittany. Kennedy – in his first full season as a professional after graduating from the University of Louisville – shared the 54-holes lead with Morrison and held a one-shot advantage playing the 18th, only to incur a double-bogey six for a 70 to Morrison's bogey as both finished on six-under 274. In the playoff, Morrison – a 40-year-old veteran with two wins on the DP World Tour in his career, including the Spanish Open in 2015 – won with a par on the first hole of sudden death. Kennedy moved 52 places from 72nd up to the 20th in the updated Race to Mallorca season-long rankings, from which the leading 20 players will earn DP World Tour cards for next season. READ MORE 'Max played some great golf and my journey to this point has been very different to his and I know his time will come,' said Morrison, who moved to 19th in the R2M standings in his own bid to secure a full European Tour card again.

Kerry and Tyrone to meet in All-Ireland Minor Football Final
Kerry snatched victory from the jaws of defeat to set up an All-Ireland Minor Football Championship decider against Tyrone after Sunday's semi-finals in Ennis and Cavan. The Kingdom kicked the last four points in injury time to deny Mayo , while a quick-fire 2-1 just before half-time proved decisive for the Ulster champions in seeing off Roscommon . A pulsating content in Ennis looked to be going Mayo's way when Ben Holmes catapulted the beaten Connacht finalists into the lead as the game ticked into injury time. But points from Gearóid Whyte, Nick Lacey and a two-point free from Ben Kelliher saw Kerry prevail by 1-19 to 3-10. The Kingdom had trailed 2-5 to 1-7 at the break – Mayo's goals coming from Cian May and Dara Flanagan, via the penalty spot, while Maidhc Ó Sé found the net for Kerry. READ MORE Wayne Quillinan's charges took over in the third quarter with a series of two-pointers from Kelliher and Kevin Griffin, including a two-point free, to lead 1-13 to 2-5 after 39 minutes, but a Mayo goal from Oran Murphy left the game in the balance once again. Kelliher converted a free to bring the sides level, and even though Holmes looked to have won it for Mayo, Kerry's late scoring surge saw them over the line.

Despite playing against the breeze, Seamus Hussey's well-worked 26th-minute goal had brought a large Roscommon following to its feet as the young Rossies deservedly led 1-5 to 0-5. But no sooner had Roscommon hit the front than Tyrone were back on level terms – Colton's mis-hit attempt at a point dribbling across the goal face where Kerr was on hand to apply the finish. Tyrone midfielder James Mulgrew added a point, and when Colton waltzed through the Roscommon defence and finished to the net the Ulster champions held a flattering 2-6 to 1-5 advantage at the interval. Gerard Donnelly's side were able to protect their lead comfortably, and could even afford the luxury of a missed penalty when Kerr's spot kick was saved by Roscommon stand-in goalkeeper Dean Casey after Cian Trimble was shown a black card for a trip on Kerr in the lead-up to the penalty. Tyrone were always able to keep the scoreboard ticking through points from Aodhan Quinn, Eoin Long, Thomas Meenan and Cathal Farley – the latter's point meaning all six Tyrone starting forwards contributed to their final tally. Casey (free), Luke Shally and Christopher Feerick accounted for Roscommon's three second-half scores, but it was never going to be enough to trouble the physically powerful Tyrone side.
