North End United boss Gary Dempsey happy to finish rollercoaster season on high
North End United manager Gary Dempsey may not have a whole lot in common with late American rocker Meat Loaf, but the feeling after Sunday's Wexford FC Cup victory was two out of three ain't bad.
Having won the Wexford Premier Division title and fallen short against Fairview Rangers in the FAI Junior Cup final, the Sky Blues really wanted to regain that winning feeling as they took on holders Forth Celtic in the Wexford FC Cup decider.

Lowry firmly in contention in Canada as McIlroy hits disastrous quadruple
Shane Lowry is firmly in contention heading into the weekend of the RBC Canadian Open. The Offaly man shot a solid two-under-par second round of 68 to sit on eight-under-par for the tournament. Lowry is four shots behind American Cameron Champ, whose opening rounds of 62 and 66 have given him a three-shot lead over Dane Thorbjorn Olesen and Canadian Richard Lee. The former Open champion began his round with a wild tee shot on the par-four 10th hole that cost him a dropped shot. But Lowry steadied the ship with a birdie on the 13th hole before picking up two more shots without any mistakes to sign for a 68. The 38-year-old has enjoyed one of his most consistent seasons on the PGA Tour but is looking for his first win. Final rounds have cost Lowry this season. He is currently ranked 106th for round four scoring average on the tour. Two-time Canadian Open champion Rory McIlroy is currently out on the course and facing an uphill battle to make the cut. McIlroy struggled to a one-one-par in his opening round and his second round got off to a disastrous start when he racked up a quadruple bogey 8 on the par four fifth hole. After pushing his tee shot into the left rough, the Master champion then badly pulled his second shot out of bounds. His second ball went flying over the ground, and McIlroy made a mess of things around the green to card a card-wrecking score. At the time of writing the cut is two-over-par, meaning that McIlroy is currently seven shots behind the number needed to make the weekend in Ontario. McIlroy's last missed cut was at the 2024 Open Championship at Royal Troon last July.

Shane Lowry remains on the charge at the Canadian Open
Shane Lowry added a second-round 68 to his opening 64 and is currently in a share of fifth spot on eight under at the RBC Canadian Open. Starting on the tenth, Lowry, the 2022 runner-up, bogeyed the opening hole but recovered to post three birdies in his round and remains very much in the mix. Leading the way on 12 under is American Cameron Champ after a 66, with joint-leader overnight, Thorbjørn Olesen, three shots further back following his round of 70. Rory McIlroy is out on the course and will hope for more consistency than was the case in round 1, where he mixed the good and the bad en route to a one-over 71.
