Kildare secure home quarter-final as they see off Sligo in Tailteann Cup
Tailteann Cup Group 1: Kildare 4-19 (4-2-15) Sligo 1-24 (1-4-16) Kildare secured their home quarter-final and a weekend's rest by overcoming Sligo in Dr. Hyde Park this afternoon, but Tony McEntee's side exposed a vulnerability in the Tailteann Cup favourites that will give hope to a handful of other counties over the next month. The return of Daniel Flynn has addressed what was perceived as a significant Kildare weakness by giving them a cutting edge in front of goal and the Johnstownbridge man starred in Roscommon with 2-3, including a second half goal that looked as if it had killed off the Sligo challenge. But despite holding a 15-point lead 10 minutes into the second half, Kildare started to flounder at midfield, even against a Sligo side that took far too long to start to exploit the strong wind. With 15 minutes to play there was still 11 points between the teams, and even though kickouts from the town end goal were reaching the opposition 45m line, Sligo had raised just one orange flag, that from a free. Then Pat Spillane came off the bench to kick a pair of them, Canice Mulligan added another, and the crowd was roused into life. By then, Sligo had taken control at midfield where Cian Lally and Mulligan were winning the kickout battle, and despite some touch-tight defending from Mark Dempsey, Niall Murphy seemed to be able to find the posts from all sorts of angles. With five minutes to play, Murphy lobbed up a shot and let the wind do the rest to reduce the gap to two points (4-17 to 1-24), and when they reflect on this game during the week, Sligo will know that they had their chances to keep that momentum going. Lee Deignan put one two-point attempt wide, Lally turned down the chance to take on another when he had time and space some 50 metres out, and the game ultimately hinged on a handpass from Murphy where he looked to connect with Patrick O'Connor in behind the Kildare full-back line, but on a weekend where there were several last-ditch defensive plays that changed results, a fingertip interception from Dempsey averted the danger. Two insurance points later, Kildare were confirmed as winners, but not in the comprehensive manner than many might have expected when they scored three goals in the first 15 minutes. Sligo's Lally got the game out to a sensational start by slicing through the centre of the Kildare defence and rifling the ball into the top corner, but on the next attack Flynn replied in kind, collecting a pass from Alex Beirne and scoring at the second attempt, after his first effort was parried by Aidan Devaney. Colm Dalton set up James McGrath for their second with Alex Beirne hammering the ball into the roof of the net for their third after 15 minutes. Crucially however, Kildare struggled to tack on enough points to really and truly put Sligo away, with good peripheral defence restricting them to just two two-pointers. Excellent points from Flynn, Callum Bolton, and then a fourth goal from the left foot of the rampaging full-forward, looked like it might have been enough. Instead Sligo – eventually – found their attacking rhythm. It wasn't enough to win the game, but what they did will make for interesting viewing for Kildare's future opponents in what looks like a wide-open competition. Scorers for Kildare: D Flynn (2-3), A Beirne (1-6, 1tpf, 1 45, 0-1f), J McGrath (1-0), C Dalton (0-3, 1tp), R Sinkey and T Gill (0-2 apiece); N Kelly, C Bolton and B McLoughlin (0-1 apiece). Scorers for Sligo: N Murphy (0-10, 1tpf, 0-2f), P Spillane (0-5, 2tp), C Lally (1-0), P O'Connor (0-3); D Quinn, C Mulligan (1tp), A McLoughlin (2f) (0-2 apiece).

Michelle Saniei Reveals What Kathy Hilton Told Her About Jesse Lally
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Valley Michelle Saniei said Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Kathy Hilton gave her a short piece of advice about Sanei's ex-husband Jesse Lally, who Saniei feels has changed in the years since they started dating. The Context Last year, viewers saw the demise of Sanei and Lally's marriage as they navigated going through therapy and seeing if they could repair a broken relationship. This season, viewers have watched the couple navigate the falling out of their divorce from co-parenting to relationships with other people and financial troubles in their relationship. What to Know On The Valley After Show on Tuesday, Sanei said Hilton gave her advice about Lally when the two ran into each other at an event. "Some people just don't know how to deal with success," Saniei said Hilton told her. Saniei attributed the change in Lally over the years to "money" and "success." She added that Lally was a "homebody" who wasn't interested in going out and then when their daughter was born he was "always gone." During Tuesday's episode, Saniei and Lally got into an argument at a group wine tasting, where Saniei criticized Lally for spreading a rumor that she was an escort. She said she had proof that people were sending Lally money and asked, "Why is a gay guy sending you money?"

Michelle Saniei Lally arrives at the Fashion Show For Sutton Stracke's "The Sutton Green Label Brand 'Capsule Collection'" at The Godfrey Hotel Hollywood on July 22, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. Kathy Hilton arrives at the An Unforgettable Evening at The Beverly Hilton on April 28, 2025 in Beverly Hills, California. More Steve Granitz/FilmMagic On the after-show, Lally said it wasn't a "huge" amount of money and was from one of the 50 guests the couple had at their wedding. "She's just trying to do something again, so everybody hates me," Lally said on The Valley After Show. Saniei also accused Lally of spending all of the couple's money and called him "broke" in a confessional interview during Tuesday's episode. Lally told Us Weekly that the couple, who worked together in real estate, "lived a really great life and continue to live that life." He added that the real estate market slowed down in 2023 and 2024 so they're "both really at fault" for the decline in their financial situation. What People Are Saying Saniei, on The Valley After Show when asked why she married Lally: "He was very different when I met him. He was nothing like today. He was very simple actually and lived in a small one-bedroom apartment ... and he would always have me over and cook for me ... he was very different, and I fell in love with him because we grew together." Lally on The Valley After Show: "We used to do fun stuff ... I got to bring her to the Hamptons for the first time and got her to Europe for the first time ... and we were really intimate and sweet and very rarely fought." What's Next As The Valley continues its season, the feud between Lally and Saniei is expected to remain a central plotline. Saniei's boyfriend is likely to continue to be seen on the show, while Lally's girlfriend will remain off screen, as part of a mutual agreement between the couple.

Lacrosse captain from Massachusetts also introducing children to the water as a surf instructor
Old Rochester lacrosse captain at home on the field and on the water Old Rochester lacrosse captain at home on the field and on the water Old Rochester lacrosse captain at home on the field and on the water The captain of the Old Rochester Regional High School lacrosse team in Mattapoisett, Massachusetts is helping his teammates on the field and also teaches a completely different sport in the water. When senior David Lally is on the lacrosse field, he's in attack mode, averaging four goals a game for the Bulldogs. Captain of lacrosse team "He's really skilled, I think a lot of people take notes from him in practice and in games and try to add his type of things into their games," said senior lacrosse player Caleb Bousquet, who's known Lally since first grade. Growing up as the middle child, lacrosse was a common bond between Lally and his four brothers and sisters. "It all started in the backyard, just that competitiveness and all messing around," said Lally. The senior has taken his family tradition and run with it. This season, he's the captain for Old Rochester. "He's sort of a glue guy, he's very calm under pressure," said lacrosse head coach Erich Carroll. "He doesn't really get rattled, so he keeps things settled for us." "It's great to be able to help out with the younger guys, especially," said Lally. "That's kind of my favorite role as a captain, is making sure they always feel involved and just keeping it fun." Surf therapy instructor Lally's other passion is surfing, no matter the season. "Pretty much whenever it's good we try and go," said Lally. "Anything we can surf on around here, we take what we can get." For Lally, surfing isn't a solo sport. It's an experience he prefers to share as an instructor for Gnome Surf Therapy. "We surf with all athletes of all ages and abilities," said Lally. "Typically neurodivergent athletes, autism, Down syndrome and then a lot of athletes with spinal cord injuries." Lally gets to connect with kids who may not otherwise get to know the feeling of riding a wave in. He's helped students from the South Coast to Costa Rica. "It definitely takes a ton of patience, you can't push them to be in the water if they don't want to be," said Lally. "So it's definitely a mental game and you've got to form a connection with these kids before they can trust you. But it's a pretty special thing once you break that barrier and get them out on the waves." Building connections is what Lally hopes to continue this fall when he goes to the University of Denver to study sociology. "I like connecting with people, I love people," said Lally.

UK watchdog bans ‘shocking' ads in mobile games that objectified women
An investigation by the UK advertising watchdog has found a number of shocking ads in mobile gaming apps that depict women as sexual objects, use pornographic tropes, and feature non-consensual sexual scenarios involving 'violent and coercive control'. The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) used avatars, which mimic the browsing behaviour of different gender and age groups, to monitor ads served when mobile games are open and identify breaches of the UK code. While most of the thousands of promotions served to the avatars complied with UK rules, the watchdog identified and banned eight that featured 'shocking' content that portrayed women in a harmful way. Two ads promoting an artificial intelligence chatbot app, Linky: Chat With Characters AI, began with a woman dressed in a manga T-shirt, a short skirt and large bunny ears dancing in a bedroom with text reading: 'Tell me which bf [boyfriend] I should break up with.' The ad moved on to animated content featuring text conversations with three manga-style young men. They were variously described as 'obsessively possessive', 'aggressively jealous', 'a kidnapper and a killer'. Further text described yanking the woman 'into the car, swiftly knocking her out', with the woman asking: 'What if I enjoy this?' The ASA said the ad was 'suggestive and implied scenarios involving violent and coercive control and a lack of consent'. An ad for an interactive romance story game called My Fantasy featured an animation of a woman being approached by another woman and being pushed on to a desk. Options appeared asking what she should do – 'enjoy it', 'push her away', 'please continue' and 'stop it'. The ASA said the animations were 'strongly suggestive and implied the sexual encounters were not consensual'. The ASA also identified three ads for Love Sparks: Dating Sim, which were shown to its female child and adult male avatars. One ad showed an animated woman lying on her back with her legs spread, with the options 'kiss her' and 'take it slow'. The second ad featured sexually suggestive depictions of 'Kate your naughty step sister' wearing a bra, and an animated image of 'Lally, 18'. The third ad featured an animated clothed woman with her bottom pulsating with the options 'next girl' and 'slap', as well as text reading 'punish me … please'. The ASA said that in the ads the women were shown as 'stereotypical sexual objects using tropes from pornography'. The watchdog banned the eight ads and issued a warning to those behind them. It said that although they were rare examples out of the 5,923 adverts served to its digital avatars, the 'harmful or degrading portrayals of women in ads are completely unacceptable and we take a zero-tolerance approach to this kind of content'. The ASA also published findings of a study that found that almost half of UK consumers were concerned about the depiction and objectification of women and girls in ads. The survey of 6,500 people, conducted by YouGov, found that 45% of people were concerned about ads that include idealised body images of women. It found 44% were concerned about the objectification of women and girls. Last month, the ASA banned an advert from the high street retailer Next for featuring an 'unhealthily thin' model in digitally altered clothing. The survey marks the latest initiative in this area by the ASA since it introduced tougher rules regarding the depiction of men and women in ads in 2019. The new rules were developed after a consultation process partly prompted by the outcry over adverts in 2015 for the slimming product Protein World, which promised to make women 'beach body ready'.
