Timetable of case against former Armagh GAA captain discussed in court
Aidan Nugent, 30, of Cullyhanna Road, Newtownhamilton in Co Armagh faces four charges relating to an incident involving a woman on November 17 2024 during a trip involving Armagh GAA to Miami in the United States to celebrate their win of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship title. The charges include two counts of sexual assault and two counts of causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent. At Armagh Magistrates' Court sitting in Newry on Tuesday, the next stage of the court case was briefly discussed. The committal proceedings – known as a preliminary enquiry (PE) – establish whether there is sufficient evidence to progress the case to a crown court trial. The case is next due before Armagh Magistrates' Court on July 8, when legal parties are expected to confirm a final date for the preliminary enquiry. At his first court appearance last month, Mr Nugent's solicitor Patrick Higgins told the court that his client denied the allegations and insisted that any sexual activity that occurred was 'consensual'.

Sean Cavanagh takes cheeky dig at Jim McGuinness and Donegal
Sean Cavanagh took a cheeky dig at Jim McGuinness and Donegal over the weekend. McGuinness' men moved to the top of Group 1 in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship following a 3-26 to 1-13 victory over Cavan away from home on Sunday. However, all four teams in the group are level on two points and it's all to play for in the final round of games. Down also went top of Group 3 on Saturday as they ran out winners by 0-25 to 0-24 against Louth and it was in praising the Mourne Men that Cavanagh took aim at McGuinness and Donegal. The Tyrone legend told RTE: "You mention tradition there. The last ten years really, since you boys (Donegal) ruined it for everyone and played your defensive football, it's been hard to watch. "At times Down have been hard to watch. I sat and talked with a microphone that it doesn't suit the culture of Down football. I grew up in the early 90s watching the Down attacking teams, there was the Down in the 60s, they were all built on brilliant attacking football. "Now that the game has moved back towards that style of attacking football, they seem to be playing better. It suits them as a county." Meanwhile, McGuinness said a duty of care to his players led to his sideline row with Cavan boss Raymond Galligan. "We weren't happy with some of the things that were going on, on the pitch," he stated. "We had two transitional moments and both of them were stopped for head injuries, so we were getting annoyed with that. "We had [referee] Sean Hurson on the sideline in the second-half and you can have a really good conversation with him. In the first half we weren't happy with a lot of the things that were going on and we were bringing it to attention, but we were being blanked. "So sometimes you have to deal with it yourself and that's what we did. This is football and these things do happen. "My duty of care is to my players and if I feel my players are being taken advantage of in any way or not getting a fair shake in any way, then it's up to me to do something about it and deal with that. That's what I did."

Good afternoon and welcome to our live blog for this All-Ireland Senior Football Championship clash between Dublin and Armagh at Croke Park. The Dubs are without Con O'Callaghan for this afternoon's game, but they can count on John and Paddy Small, Sean Bugler and Lee Gannon among the 26. Killian McGinnis and Lorcan O'Dell showed their mettle against Galway. Will they be able to repeat their performance? The home advantage could prove beneficial for what is a massive clash. It might be time for Cormac Costello or Colm Basquel to step up. As the reigning All-Ireland champions, Armagh will be keen to show their strength at GAA headquarters. With Eoin Murchan sidelined, it's hard to see a match up for Armagh's key man, Oisin Conaty. Croke Park is likely to suit Ross McQuillan. Throw-in is just under an hour away.
