St Pat's Maghera clinch sixth Hogan Cup triumph
St Patrick's College Maghera clinched their sixth All-Ireland Senior Football Colleges Hogan Cup triumph as they comfortably defeated St Colman's Claremorris 2-8 to 0-4 in the final at Croke Park.
Two Cormac Og McCloskey points helped the Maghera school lead 0-5 to 0-1 at half-time and their advantage should have been bigger as they missed several other chances.
Darragh Beirne notched the Mayo team's only first-half score and remained their only scorer during the contest.
St Colman's did have a 15th-minute goal chance when they were 0-2 to 0-0 down but Maghera goalkeeper Jack McCloy spread himself to deny Ciaran Treacy.
Owen Doherty, Padraig O'Kane and Darach McGonigle were also on target for the Derry side in the opening half.
By half-time, St Patrick's had lost skipper Cahal McKaigue to injury but they remained unruffled as man of the match Padraig Haran's 40th-minute goal, after a sweeping move, put them in total control at 1-6 to 0-2 ahead.
Haran notched Maghera's next score and while Beirne and Darragh Flanagan both had goal chances as St Colman's frantically attempted to get back into the game, McCloy refused to be beaten as he made further saves.
McCloskey notched his third point in the final minute of normal time and Darragh O'Neill's goal in injury-time - after another turnover at the other end of the pitch - topped off the St Pat's win as they added All-Ireland success to the MacRory Cup triumph.

Taylor Swift's New Selfie With Travis Kelce Is Turning Heads
Taylor Swift's New Selfie With Travis Kelce Is Turning Heads originally appeared on Athlon Sports. While there has been a lot of talk about a highly anticipated wedding between Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce, there has been no official confirmation from the couple as to where they currently stand in their nearly two-year relationship. Swift and Kelce were spotted attending a wedding on Friday, though it was not theirs. While the complete details of their recent public appearance have yet to surface, initial reports have indicated that the couple took part in Kelce's cousin's wedding ceremony. Several photos and videos of the two have been circulating online, including an adorable selfie that appears to have been taken by Swift herself. The photo, which features Swift with a big smile on her face and Kelce busting out the customary peace sign, quickly drew the attention of fans on social media. "That's a stunning pair at the wedding!" a comment on X read. "Omg what a perfect wedding guest selfie!!! 😍" another said. "She's Gorgeous omg!!" a supporter wrote. "She's literally glowing. Girlie is so happy," observed a fan. "DID WE JUST GET A SELFIE TAKEN BY TALOR? 😭😭❤️" said another. "Omg omg omg so so cute!!!!!" reacted a user. It looks like the couple had a great time at the ceremony, and this photo serves as proof of the same. Swift and Kelce, though, will need to spend some time apart soon. The All-Pro tight end is expected to join the Chiefs for their mandatory minicamp scheduled on June 17-19.

Angel Reese's Former Teammate Sets WNBA Ablaze On Friday
Angel Reese's Former Teammate Sets WNBA Ablaze On Friday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Despite the issues Marina Mabrey has had with both the Chicago Sky and the Connecticut Sun, she showed on Friday that she can be an impactful player when she gets it going. Advertisement Mabrey had a sensational game for the Sun in their thrilling 84-76 win over the Atlanta Dream on Friday, exploding for 34 points on 13-of-22 shooting. The 28-year-old guard also went 3-of-8 from deep and had four assists and four rebounds to give the Sun their second win of the season. Atlanta, a team that had only lost twice entering the contest and was riding a four-game winning streak, just couldn't find a way to stop Mabrey. The former Notre Dame standout was particularly incredible in the third quarter, during which she scored 12 points on 5-of-7 shooting — preventing Atlanta from pulling away. It's certainly an interesting turn for Marina Mabrey, who recently played one of the worst games in WNBA history. Advertisement In the Sun's loss to the New York Liberty last Sunday, she had eight points on 2-of-11 shooting and finished with a -55 plus-minus rating — the lowest plus-minus rating in a single game in the league ever. It is worth noting, though, that the Sun's only wins so far this 2025 season came in games when Mabrey scored more than 25 points. Their other victory was an 85-83 win over the Indiana Fever where Mabrey dropped 26 points. Mabrey was previously part of the Chicago Sky from 2023 to 2024. She played alongside All-Star forward Angel Reese last campaign, but she didn't finish the season with the Windy City franchise after requesting a trade. Chicago sent Mabrey to the Sun, getting Rachel Banham and Moriah Jefferson in return, per ESPN. The Sky also received a 2025 second-round pick and the rights to swap first-round picks with Connecticut in 2026.

The team, nonetheless, denied her request. Advertisement Now, by the looks of it, Mabrey has become an integral part of the Sun roster.

JJ Redick saw Tyrese Haliburton's potential three years ago
JJ Redick saw Tyrese Haliburton's potential three years ago Tyrese Haliburton of the Indiana Pacers has been a rising star for some time now, but over the last several weeks, he has become perhaps as dangerous a player as there is in the NBA. During the regular season, there were quite a few people who thought he was overrated, and he wasn't even named to this year's All-Star team. But he has exploded during the playoffs and hit a number of clutch and game-winning shots, including the dagger he nailed just before time expired in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday. Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick may have seen at least some of this coming. In February 2022, when the Sacramento Kings traded Haliburton to the Indiana Pacers along with Buddy Hield and Tristan Thompson for Domantas Sabonis, Justin Holiday and Jeremy Lamb, Redick said point-blank that Haliburton was the best player on the Kings. "This is some form of malpractice on the Kings' part," Redick said of the trade. "... Tyrese Haliburton has been the best player on that team. ... He was determined to turn things around and be part of that rebuild in Sacramento. I know he's shocked right now, but they traded away their best player." The Kings took Haliburton with the No. 12 pick in the 2020 draft, and at the time, he was starting in their backcourt alongside De'Aaron Fox. Fox was putting up much better scoring numbers, and to this day, he has continued to average more points than Haliburton, but Haliburton has been the better 3-point shooter, passer and facilitator. Haliburton led the NBA in assists per game last season, and he now has Indiana just three wins away from an NBA championship. Meanwhile, Sacramento made the playoffs in 2023 as the third seed in the Western Conference but has failed to reach the playoffs in both of the last two seasons.
