First Division: Finn Harps and Cobh Ramblers share the spoils
Barry Coffey scored twice and Cobh Ramblers led twice in Ballybofey but battling Finn Harps earned a share of the spoils. Cobh Ramblers are now six points behind leaders Dundalk at the top of the First Division after being held at Finn Park. Coffey took his goals tally for the season to 17 for the season, but it wasn't enough to take Mick McDermott's men to victory. Cobh took the lead in the 20th minute when Coffey stroked home from the penalty spot. Referee Aaron O'Dowd pointed to the spot when Gradi Lomboto barged over Bellis just inside the penalty area. Coffey made no mistake in tucking past Corey Sheridan, the Harps goalkeeper. Sheridan had to be at his best in the 34th minute to turn Cian Bargary's effort out for a corner. Sheridan, who had five clean sheets from his previous six outings, reached out to his right to make a fine stop. Harps drew level in the 38th minute as Mpongo seized on a loose ball before taking on Shane Griffin and firing off the crossbar to beat Timothy Martin. Mpongo, a recent recruit fromRijnvogels in the fourth tier in the Netherlands, netted a debut goal against UCD last week. After Idir Zerrouk helped win the ball, the 22-year-old Dutch hitman repeated the trick here with a superb goal. Harps' joy was short-lived as Cobh restored the lead within a minute. Bargary's inviting cross was met by Coffey and his header found the Town End net. On the stroke of half-time, Conor Tourish fired to the net for Harps, but an offside flag with the margins thin cut short the celebrations. However, Harps equalised a second time on 65 minutes when McNamee side-footed Idir Zerrouk's cut-back past Martin. The sides swapped chances soon after with Sheridan clawing off the line from Shane Griffin before Lomboto riffled wide from a good position for Harps. Teenager Gavin McAteer, who has attracted attention from Nottingham Forest and Celtic among others, came off the bench and might have won the game for Harps, but Martin saved from his attempt three minutes from the end. Cobh could have sneaked it with the last effort of the night, but Luka Le Bervet soared high over the crossbar. Finn Harps: Corey Sheridan; Josh Cullen, Conor Tourish, Joel Bradley-Walsh, Kieran Cooney; Max Hutchison, Oran Brogan (Gavin McAteer 82); Gradi Lomboto, Tony McNamee, Idir Zerrouk; Hans Mpongo. Cobh Ramblers: Timothy Martin; Jonas Hakkinen, Shane Griffin, Cian Coleman, Luka De Bervet. Niall O'Keefe; Cian Bargary, Barry Coffey, Shane Griffin (Rhys Gourdie 74), Samuel Bellis (Matthew Whelan 79); Cian Murphy.

Sky Sports forced to apologise after Ben Stokes is smacked in privates with ball leaving fans wincing
SKY SPORTS were forced to apologise to viewers after Ben Stokes took a smack to his privates bits against India. Fans were left clutching their own crown jewels after the England star was whacked with a cricket ball during Friday's Fourth Test. 3 Ben Stoke winces after he is hit in the genitals by a speedy Mohammed Siraj delivery Credit: PA 3 Stokes reacts after taking a ball to the body during day three of the Fourth Test Credit: PA Joe Root hit a magnificent hundred on day three of the Fourth Test between England's 2-1 lead on India at Old Trafford. Root's 38th Test century bumped him up to second on the all-time leading run-scorers list in Test cricket. But it was Stokes, 34, that hit the headlines after the ball caught him in his genitals. Stokes was batting when a ferocious shot rocketed between his bat and, well, found its mark. Cameras zoomed on Stokes writhing in pain, leading to a wave of sympathetic groans from viewers at home. The commentator said: "Oh! Movement, pain. He's been hit in the midships again." While Prakash Wakankar on comms joked about what the physio could do about it. The British commentator then added: "Sorry if you heard any expletives there, but perhaps you can understand why."

Stokes, ever the warrior, eventually picked himself up, though with a noticeable limp to remain not out as England went 544-7 after the first Innings. England lead India by 186 runs with three wickets remaining. Meanwhile, Root pushed past Rahul Dravid, Jacques Kallis and Ricky Ponting while scoring 150. It's now only Sachin Tendulkar keeping him off the summit. Read more on the Irish Sun The Yorkshireman, 34, has a way to go to eclipse The Little Master's tally of 15,921. He needs a further 2,513 runs to become No 1 - but at the relatively young age of 34, Tendulkar's record seems achievable. 3 Joe Root's 38th Test century bumped him up to second on the all-time leading run-scorers list in Test cricket Credit: AP

Ben Healy remains 9th in GC as Thymsen Arensman wins final mountain stage
BEN HEALY REMAINS ninth in the general classification with two stages remaining at the Tour de France, with Dutch rider Thymen Arsensman winning the final mountain stage in La Plagne. Arensman picked up his second stage win on Friday as defending champion Tadej Pogacar closed in on a fourth title. Healy finished eighth in stage 19, two minutes and 19 seconds behind Arsensman, to keep himself in the top 10 of the GC. Arensman crossed the finish line in the rain two seconds ahead of title contender Jonas Vingegaard and his great rival Pogacar. Advertisement However barring a collapse, Team UAE rider Pogacar should claim his fourth Tour de France title aged just 26 years in Paris on Sunday. The Slovenian exits the Alps with a lead of four minutes and twenty-four seconds on second placed Vingegaard with just two stages remaining. German breakout star Florian Lipowitz strengthened his hold on third place and top spot in the under-25′s section on his debut Tour de France as he tracked the title rivals all the way to the summit finish. For Arensman and Ineos this was a symbolic victory as the British team begin their revival with the return to the helm of Dave Brailsford. Arensman slumped to the ground in tears at La Plagne as he just held on with a white-knuckle struggle over the final kilometres. He previously won stage 14 at another ski resort, at altitude in the Pyrenees at Superbagneres. This final mountain stage was shortened overnight due to an outbreak of a cattle infection along the route, reduced to just 93km, which ran to a rowdy finish at 2050m altitude. The stage however was largely uncontested in comparison to Thursday's epic cat-and-mouse between Pogacar and Vingegaard, who attacked the champion 71km from the finish line without ever dislodging him. Stage 20 on Saturday is a hilly run through the Jura, while Sunday's run to the Champs Elysees also features a potentially chaotic run up the cobbled lanes of Montmartre. – © AFP 2025
