Yahoo20 hours ago

Stefan Campbell will miss Armagh's All-Ireland quarter-final with Kerry on Sunday because of injury.
The forward's impact from the bench has been a key part of the success enjoyed by Kieran McGeeney's All-Ireland champions in recent seasons, but he will miss the Croke Park contest (16:00 BST) because of a hand problem.

The Orchard County will make three changes to their starting side from their defeat by Galway in their concluding round-robin fixture, a loss which came when they had already booked their place in the last eight.
Ben Crealy replaces Jason Duffy in midfield with Rory Grugan coming into the half-forward line.
Rian O'Neill will more to corner-forward with Conor Turbitt dropping to the bench, while Oisin Conaty is selected ahead of Cian McConville.
For Kerry, Dylan Casey and Micheal Burns will start instead of Mike Breen and Diarmuid O'Connor.
Breen suffered a hamstring issue prior to the Kingdom's preliminary quarter-final win over Cavan, while O'Connor was replaced in the game with a shoulder injury.

'Best day of my life': Irish teen Alex Dunne shines on F1 practice debut for McLaren

SPIELBERG, Austria (AP) — Alex Dunne stepped into the cockpit of Lando Norris' McLaren as an up-and-coming driver without Formula 1 experience. He left it with proof he can keep up with the very best in F1. The 19-year-old driver from Ireland took over Norris' car for the first practice Friday ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix and was soon close to matching the pace of championship leader Oscar Piastri in the other McLaren. Advertisement 'This is definitely the best day of my life, so thank you everyone,' Dunne told the McLaren team over the radio. Dunne set the fourth-fastest time of anyone in the session, 0.224 of a second off George Russell's quickest lap, and was especially quick in the Austrian track's fastest corners. Dunne was .159 off the pace of defending champion Max Verstappen, .069 off Piastri, and .333 quicker than seven-time champ Lewis Hamilton. The 19-year-old Dunne has risen fast through the junior series and is the standings leader in Formula 2. Dunne became the first Irish driver to take part in a Grand Prix weekend for 22 years, since Ralph Firman raced one season for Jordan in 2003. Advertisement F1 teams are required to give young drivers an opportunity in four Friday practice sessions per year, but they usually need more time to adapt than Dunne did. Another F2 driver was behind the wheel Friday as Ferrari handed Charles Leclerc's car to Sweden's Dino Beganovic, who placed 18th. ___ AP auto racing: The Associated Press

Brentford appoint Andrews as Frank's successor

Brentford have appointed Keith Andrews as the club's new head coach following Thomas Frank's departure to Tottenham. Andrews, 44, joined the Bees last summer to work under Frank as the club's set-piece coach. Advertisement Having previously been on the coaching staff with Sheffield United, MK Dons and the Republic of Ireland, Andrews' appointment is the Irishman's first step into management. Brentford considered a number of external candidates for the job including Ipswich Town's Kieran McKenna and Francesco Farioli, who left Ajax last month. While owner Matthew Benham's decision to hand Andrews the reins may be considered a gamble, it does represent a level of continuity in keeping with what has gone before. Frank was promoted from his role as an assistant to take charge in 2018 when Dean Smith left for Aston Villa, having managed Brondby for nearly three years as well as Denmark's youth teams. Advertisement Andrews takes the helm during a period of turbulence at Gtech Community Stadium. Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher has arrived from Liverpool to replace Netherlands stopper Mark Flekken, who has moved to Bayer Leverkusen. Denmark midfielder Christian Norgaard is poised to head to Arsenal and last season's top scorer, Bryan Mbeumo, has been the subject of an improved bid worth £60m from Manchester United.
