Athlone battle back to earn a draw at Dalymount
Athlone Town came from two goals down to rescue a point in a thriller at Dalymount as the country's form team hosted the reigning champions who were desperate to climb back to the summit. The home side had been ahead thanks to Katie Lovely and Alannah McEvoy but The Town showed their grit to comeback as a Kelly Brady goal just before the break and a late Roisin Molloy header meant the spoils were shared. A sun-soaked Dalymount made for perfect conditions as both teams came flying out of the traps. The dangerous Molloy fizzed a shot straight at Rachael Kelly with a couple of minutes gone, and quickly followed this up with a pin-point cross to Brady whose first-time goal-bound volley was brilliantly blocked behind by Roisin McGovern. But the hosts, still reeling from news breaking before the game that they will be without one of the stars of the season in Katie McCarn for the next six weeks, showed just why they a stellar seven-game unbeaten run in all competitions, that included booking their place in the All-Island Cup final at the end of the month. Following a good spell of pressure, the fearless home side got themselves in front in the 12th minute when Irish Under-19 star Aoibhe Brennan dug out a quality cross to the back post to Lovely who powered home a close-range header having sharply gotten in front of her marker. It was always going to be a tough challenge against the reigning champions, who would still have been riding high from their Champions League exploits, and the visitors showed their quality just after the half-hour mark, smashing the frame of the goal twice in quick succession. Firstly Shauna Brennan bombed forward from left back and whipped in another quality cross that was guided onto the crossbar by former Arizona Wildcats alumn Sarah Rice and seconds later star winger Madie Gibson cut in from the left, drifted across the box only to see her low strike smash off the foot of the post. Athlone are back on level terms 👊 Gibson's cross is finished off by Róisín Molloy! — LOI Women (@LoiWomen) August 9, 2025 But incredibly it was Bohs who doubled their lead, flying straight down the other end and having put together some neat build up play, it was McEvoy that was on hand to tap home a curled cross from Sarah McKevitt. The two-goal lead didn't last long though as the dynamic front three finally clicked for the illustrious visitors who deservedly halved the deficit before the break. Gibson first found Molloy free at the back post, forcing Bohs skipper Kelly into a Gordan Banks-esque save, and seconds later American winger teed up the clinical Brady who finished from close range. The goal came with a cost though as captain Izzy Groves was forced off with an innocuous looking injury just before the build up with Aoife O'Connor called up to replace her in the middle. The relentless pace continued into the second half as both sides refused to give an inch in a breathless encounter that began resembling something of a basketball game. Minutes after the restart, Bohs thought they had restored their two-goal lead when a lightning quick break ended with McKevitt being through on goal, latching on to Hannah Healy's through ball. Megan Plaschko raced off her line to smother the ball but the Bohs right winger poked the ball towards goal, and it was finished by McEvoy. Howevr, she had strayed offside. Knowing that every point is crucial in the title run-in, and with Shelbourne playing a day later at home to Waterford, The Town poured forward once again forcing an almighty goalmouth scramble that saw Alexis Strickland almost bundle home but the ball was cleared off the line by Lisa Murphy. Roared on by the boisterous and drum-bashing travelling support, Athlone continued to press but were constantly frustrated by the resolute Bohs' rear-guard who kept them at bay for large spells. Having put in a heroic effort to hold on to their lead, the tiring hosts were eventually undone with just six minutes of normal time remaining. Player of the match Gibson was direct again, running at right-back Power and standing up a deliciously inviting cross to the back post that was met flush by Molloy to make it 2-2. There was huge controversy in the 90th minute when Bohs substitute Hannah O'Brien sharply turned Natalie McNally and appeared to be bundled over only for referee Kate O'Brien pointing for a corner as both sides were forced to settle for a point. Bohemians: Rachael Kelly; Sarah Power, Roisin McGovern, Lisa Murphy, Katie Lovely (Michelle Muddiman, 73): Fiona Donnelly, Aoibhe Brennan; Sarah McKevitt (Hannah O'Brien, 60), Hannah Healy, Leiagh Glennon (Emma Gaughran, 60', Lillian Rusher, 81) ; Alannah McEvoy (Savannah Kane, 73'). Athlone Town: Megan Plaschko; Kellie Brennan, Kayleigh Shine, Natalie McNally, Shauna Brennan: Izzy Groves (Aoife O'Connor 43, Hazel Donegan, 77), Sarah Rice; Roisin Molloy (Isabel Ryan, 90+3), Alexis Strickland, Madison Gibson; Kelly Brady. Referee: Kate O'Brien.

Andy Moran's family life off the pitch as he's tipped for Mayo job
Former All-Star forward Andy Moran has emerged as a leading contender to succeed Kevin McStay as Mayo's next GAA manager. The ex-two-time All-Star, Footballer of the Year and former Mayo captain resigned from his role managing the Leitrim senior footballers in 2024. The Ballaghaderreen man has spent the past 12 months working as a coach with Monaghan. Beyond his touchline activities, the sportsman and 2017 Footballer of the Year runs The Movement Gyms, operating two venues - one in Castlebar and another in Claremorris. These thriving businesses, combined with his outstanding sporting pedigree, have made Andy a champion of healthy movement and fitness, reports RSVP Live. He reveals that walking ranks among his most preferred forms of relaxation: "I'd be a big walker, I absolutely love walking and I find it very relaxing. So I'm happy to hit off when I can and listen to a podcast about finance or economics or business," he previously told Mayo Live. He has also served as an ambassador for Ireland Active National Fitness Day. Speaking about his ambassadorial role, he commented: "In both my professional and sporting careers, I've seen first-hand the importance of physical activity for people of all ages and the benefits it has for both mind and body." Beyond his commercial ventures, he has turned author, publishing his memoir Andy – Lessons Learned in Pursuit of Glory in 2021. The publication chronicles his path through the sport he adores and the peaks and valleys experienced whilst representing his county. A family-oriented man, his favourite spot is in the comfort of his own living room surrounded by his loved ones. "My sitting room. I love being at home, chilling out. Either on my own or with Jenny and the kids, just having fun," he revealed about his preferred place. Andy and his wife Jennifer exchanged vows at St. Nathy's Cathedral in Ballaghaderreen, Co. Roscommon on December 31st 2012. He recalled it as "a great day," according to The Irish Independent, and they celebrated their nuptials at a black tie event attended by 300 guests, with the reception held at Kilronan Castle. The couple are proud parents to two children, Ollie and Charlotte. He has also contributed to fundraising efforts for Leitrim GAA and LGFA by participating in The 50 Miles Challenge.

Ireland outclassed by Canada in final Rugby World Cup warm-up game
WOMEN'S RUGBY WORLD CUP WARM-UP: Ireland 26 Canada 47 Despite delivering a spirited second-half display at Affidea Stadium in Belfast this afternoon, Ireland suffered defeat at the hands of Canada in their second and final Women's Rugby World Cup warm-up game. Before coming back to earn the spoils with six points to spare (27-21), Ireland found themselves staring into a 14-0 deficit against Scotland in their maiden World Cup warm-up fixture at Virgin Media Park in Cork last weekend. Thanks to tries from outside centre Florence Symonds and Justin Pelletier – both of which were converted by Saracens second row Sophie de Goede – they trailed by the same margin in today's test with just 14 minutes on the clock. Outside of the opening couple of moments, Ireland had struggled to gain a foothold in the game up to this point. However, they did gain a temporary numerical advantage at the end of the opening quarter when Canada's tighthead prop Daleaka Menin was sin-binned for a high tackle on Connacht flanker Ivana Kiripati. This was the cue for Ireland to establish some attacking momentum and when the ball was moved towards the right-flank on 20 minutes, Parsons regathered possession after initially being tackled by a retreating Canadian defender and proceeded to touch down in fine style. Ireland's prospects were further bolstered when O'Brien confidently split the posts from the conversion that followed Parsons' five-pointer, but this was as good as it got for the home team during the first half. Even though Canada were forced to withdraw team captain Alexandra Tessier for a head injury assessment, a second try from Symonds (in addition to a third bonus strike by lock de Goede) ensured Kevin Rouet's side had restored their 14-point cushion before Menin returned to the field of play. Her re-emergence coincided with Ireland's starting captain Neve Jones being issued with a yellow card by match referee Aurélie Groizeleau and the Exeter Chiefs front-row offered further breathing space to the 2014 World Cup finalists by driving over for their fourth try on 33 minutes. Ireland were back to their full complement prior to the interval, but with another intricate Canadian attack in stoppage-time leading to a converted finish for winger Paige Farries on the left flank, they trailed by all of 26 points (33-7) at the break. There was certainly a greater energy to the Irish play when the action resumed, helped in no small way by the introduction of regular team skipper Sam Monaghan for her second international appearance since recovering from a long-term injury lay-off. However, Canada maintained a potent attacking threat – exemplified by full-back Julia Schell's breakaway try 15 minutes into the second half. A fourth successful conversion from de Goede increased the gap between the teams, before Ireland finally hit a purple patch either side of the third-quarter mark. The addition of further fresh legs (including former England prop Ellena Perry for her Ireland debut) aided their cause substantially, but it was starting winger Anna McGann who got on the end of an elaborate pass out wide by full-back Stacey Flood for her side's second try on 59 minutes. McGann was becoming more prominent as the game progressed and the Westmeath native showcased her athleticism just three minutes later by sprinting through a gap in the Canada defence for an outstanding individual score. Having been denied a second successful conversion by the woodwork in the aftermath of McGann's first try, O'Brien made no mistake on this occasion as Ireland started to operate with a greater degree of authority. The Canadian rearguard were now being placed under sustained pressure by their Irish counterparts and after the play was switched from one side of the field to the other, Parsons was left with a relatively routine task of crossing over to the right of the posts on 71 minutes. O'Brien added the bonuses once again to reduce the gap to 14 points, but this was as close as Ireland came to claiming a dramatic comeback win. With Flood in the sin-bin following consultation between Groizeleau and TMO Andrew McMenemy, the excellent de Goede bagged a seven-point salvo in the final minute to ensure their opponents will depart for the World Cup on the back of a 21-point reversal. Scorers for Ireland: Tries: A McGann 2, B Parsons 2 Cons: D O'Brien 3 Scorers for Canada: Tries: F Symonds 2, J Pelletier, D Menin, P Farries, J Schell, S de Goede Cons: S de Goede 6 IRELAND: S Flood; B Parsons, A Dalton, E Breen (E Higgins 52), A McGann; D O'Brien, A Reilly (E Lane 66); N O'Dowd (E Perry 56), N Jones (C Moloney-MacDonald 56), L Djougang (S McGrath 71); R Campbell (E Corri Fallon 66), F Tuite; G Moore, I Kiripati (C Moloney-MacDonald 31-40 & S Monaghan h-t), B Hogan (C Boles 56).
