Juventus among admirers of Owen Elding but no Cork City approach for Patrick Hoban
Italian giants Juventus have joined the list of suitors monitoring the future of Sligo Rovers teen hotshot Owen Elding. The 19-year-old bagged his eighth and most stunning goal of the season last Friday to fire his hometown club ahead in a 1-1 draw at Bohemians. Sligo sensibly tied Elding down to a long-term contract until 2027, which doesn't contain a buyout clause, and his value continues to rise with each stellar performance. Bit O'Red boss John Russell admits it will take a 'hell of a bid' to prise their key asset from the Showgrounds but his array of admirers has swelled beyond the traditional UK market. Several were at Dalymount Park last Friday to observe the player in action first-hand. Juve, the most successful club in Serie A with 36 titles, have been tracking Elding in recent months and it's believed he features on a shortlist of potential targets. Read More Ex-Premier League striker Lys Mousset departs Bohemians Liam Brady is the Irish player most associated with Juve, collecting league medals in the 1981 and 1982 seasons he spent in Turin. Wicklow native Ronnie O'Brien was a surprise capture in 1999 but he made just one brief substitute appearance in the first-team over his three-year stint. In recent years, Udinese took an interest in a couple of Irish players, exposing Festy Ebosele and James Abankwah to top-flight game-time. The latter will spend another loan at their sister club Watford in the upcoming season. Elding has yet to represent Ireland. Born in England, he's spent most of his life in the west of Ireland since his Dad, Anthony, moved across during his football career, scoring Sligo's winner in the 2013 FAI Cup final against Drogheda United. Despite holding no bloodline links to Ireland, the FAI are exploring eligibility through residency rules that would facilitate his availability for Ireland's U21s. Meanwhile, there's no substance to reports linking Pat Hoban with a move to Cork City. The prolific striker has only played a peripheral role for title contenders Derry City this term but the notion of him moving south to Leeside hasn't been broached.

Leinster swim group takes legal action against Swim Ireland over Liffey swim hosting row
A ROW BETWEEN two swim groups over identical events planned for the second consecutive year has led a Leinster-based swim group to initiate legal proceedings against Swim Ireland. Leinster Open Sea (LOS) filed legal proceedings against Swim Ireland, the national governing body for Irish swimming, on Monday. A statement from Leinster Open Sea's board of directors confirmed that it had initiated the proceedings, which include an application for an injunction to prevent Swim Ireland from organising 'duplicate' Liffey Swim and Dún Laoghaire Harbour races. The statement described the two events as 'historic' and 'long established as part of the Leinster Open Sea calendar'. There was confusion last year as both LOS and Swim Ireland ran competing Liffey Swims after a row broke out over who should host the landmark swim. Leinster Open Swim had been the organiser of the event for a number of years, but had done so recognised by Swim Ireland. A rift between the two, which included Swim Ireland stating that it had 'governance concerns' over the operations of Leinster Open Swim, resulted in the separate bodies ploughing ahead and holding their separate swims at the same location. This year, Leinster Open Sea's Dún Laoghaire Harbour swim is scheduled to take place on 15 September, and its Liffey swim is scheduled to take place on 21 September. Swim Ireland, however, has scheduled for its Dún Laoghaire Harbour swim to take place on 3 August, and its Liffey swim on 13 September. Advertisement The swim in 2018. Alamy Stock Photo Alamy Stock Photo Leinster Open Sea CLG has this year set out that it wishes to retain the right to organise and run the annual events. 'In 2024, the running of two competing Liffey Swims caused considerable confusion among swimmers, volunteers, and the public — resulting in reputational damage and unnecessary division within the open water community,' a statement said. 'We are determined to avoid the same situation in 2025.' It further said that it has made repeated efforts to resolve the matter and has offered to undergo mediation with Swim Ireland. It alleged that Swim Ireland publicly stated that it is willing to take part in mediation but privately laid down 'a series of preconditions before it would take part in mediation which are totally unacceptable'. It added that it regretted having to initiate such proceedings but that the move was taken 'as a last resort'. In a statement to The Journal , Swim Ireland said that it has refrained from taking legal action itself to avoid spending 'valuable resource on legal fees which could otherwise be spent on our members and ground the Swim Ireland open water schedule'. 'As Swim Ireland has not initiated this recent action, it continues to consider the contents of the legal proceedings issued and will attend court on Friday, as required,' the organisation said. It added that it was assured of its position in relation to the two contested swims. Leinster Open Sea said that it hoped the Leinster swimming community would consider to support it as it proceeds with legal action, and said that it fully intends for its race calendar to proceed as planned.
