Orlagh Phelan on captaining Offaly in All-Ireland final at just 20 years old
Captaining your county in an All-Ireland final would be an honour for any player, but one Offaly's Orlagh Phelan gets to experience at just 20 years old. Part of a young team who haven't looked back since winning Division 2A, Offaly have gone one step further since exiting at the semi-final stages last season. Advertisement Leading Offaly against Kerry in the All-Ireland Intermediate camogie final will be Phelan, who has taken the responsibility of captain in her stride this season. "I don't dwell on it too much. I am the same as everybody else. "I have to show up for training, play my best to get on the first 15 and want to win as well. "You have your different roles, you have to lead in training, lead in how you approach things, lead on and off the field. Advertisement "We are a group of girls who want to win, and I just look after that. It has been a fantastic honour, but I just make sure I work as hard as everyone else." After coming so close the the Intermediate final last season, Offaly spent no time licking their wounds, with silverware captured early in their league success. Now, having gone one step further and 60 minutes away from becoming All-Ireland champions, the Offaly defender says the hurt from last season has been motivation for the team. "We always knew at the back of our minds that we are just one step away. Advertisement "Starting the year off with the league final win, that was brilliant. It motivated us and gave us that confidence as well. "Throughout the year, it was about having that confidence in ourselves, because we knew we were well able for it." It has not been an easy few years for Offaly camogie, who perhaps has not lived up to its potential in recent years. After relegation to Intermediate back in 2023 and dropping down to the third tier of the league, the tide looks to be turning. For Phelan and this young group of players, testing themselves against the best is a huge motivation ahead of Sunday's final. "Senior camogie is where you want to be playing, that is where the highest standards are. "When you are playing senior, you are playing against the best counties, you are playing against the best players, so that is where everyone want to play. "That is where you learn, that is where you improve."

Blue is the colour: Maresca turns on his critics after Chelsea secure fourth place
A delighted Enzo Maresca said Chelsea had emphatically answered their critics by qualifying for the Champions League and told those who doubted his team to 'eff-off'. A 1-0 victory at Nottingham Forest confirmed Chelsea will play in Europe's premier competition next campaign and Maresca urged his squad to cap this season by winning the Conference League final on Wednesday. Chelsea finished fourth in the Premier League after Levi Colwill scored the only goal at the City Ground, jumping ahead of Newcastle, who slipped to a final-day defeat at home to Everton. Maresca, this his first season in charge after joining from Leicester, praised his team – the youngest in Premier League history with an average age of 24 years and 36 days. Related: Maresca leads Chelsea's new band of brothers to Champions League return | Jacob Steinberg 'I didn't have any doubt about the players,' said the head coach. 'The doubt was from outside. All the ones that have the answers or the ones that have the truth, they were saying that we are too young, we are not good enough … They were saying that we were not able to win on this pitch because we are too young, because we are not experienced. 'Unfortunately for them, they have all been wrong. All the ones that have the truth and have the answers to everything. So in English, how do you say? Eff-off to all of them, because the players deserve that. The effort they have been doing is fantastic. Most of the time it [the noise] was from the outside was: we are not good enough, we are too young, we don't have leaders, blah, blah blah, these kinds of things. 'We are in a business where people judge us because of results. Today, if we were not able to win the game, probably all of you [the media] would judge the season as a disaster. But it was not a disaster.' Nuno Espírito Santo said his Forest players would deservedly rest after returning to Europe for the first time since 1995-96 while Chelsea's focus turns to facing Real Betis in Wroclaw on Wednesday. 'If we are able to win, I think we can say overall that it has been a very good season,' Maresca said. 'I already said that, for me, it was a good season but it can become very good if we are able to get Champions League and hopefully we can win on Wednesday.'
