'You didn't know what was going to happen'
On the end of the match: "It's unbelievable. The finish to that game you just didn't know what was going to happen. We got a couple of really good scores to push ahead, they had chances to level it or get ahead. There was some serious defending back there. It was mayhem at the end and it's kind of hard to get your head around at the moment. It's unbelievably satisfying to get through."

On Oisin O'Donoghue's goal after Tipp were reduced to 14 players: "The youth and the bravery of him, he's still under-20 next year again. I don't even remember him hitting the ball, I just saw the net shake. It was a huge score at the time and it gave us that bit of breathing room. He's been doing that all year. You need those moments and those breaks, especially as we were under pressure near the end."
On facing Cork in the final: "The form is with them, I suppose. We've had a couple of tough outings against them already this year, but we've regrouped and found a little more along the way. They are probably a couple more years down the road than us. It took us a little to get into our stride as the season has gone on. There's a huge rivalry there going years back, between the teams and supporters, and a great bit of banter in it as well. It's a quick enough turnaround, so it'll be on you before you know it. It's great to be looking forward to it."

'McGuinness one step from crowning remarkable comeback'
All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final - Donegal v Kerry Date: Sunday, 27 July Venue: Croke Park, Dublin Throw-in: 15:30 BST Coverage: Watch on BBC iPlayer, BBC Two NI, BBC Sport website & app; live text updates, report, reaction & highlights on BBC Sport website & app In sport, going back often leads to regret and dented legacies. This is what Jim McGuinness wrestled with when Patrick McBrearty showed up at his door two years ago. McBrearty had just been through a deflating first year as Donegal captain. Starting out with Paddy Carr as manager, Donegal beat Kerry in their Division One opener but stumbled from there. After Carr resigned just 149 days into his tenure, Donegal were relegated. Aidan O'Rourke, who had been part of Carr's backroom team, took over as interim boss but the struggles continued with defeat by Down in Ulster. Donegal emerged from their All-Ireland group, but after an eight-point preliminary quarter-final loss at home to Tyrone, the consensus was that the county was at a low ebb. McBrearty had seen enough and knew where he wanted to turn, to the man who gave him his Donegal debut aged just 17. McGuinness, of course, loomed large over Donegal football for nearly a decade. The Glenties man led Donegal to All-Ireland glory in 2012, stepped away in 2014, and remained absent from inter-county management. Superstar Clifford was marked for stardom from young age Captain McBrearty dreams of lifting Sam for Donegal All you need to know about the All-Ireland SFC final In his time away, he worked as a pundit for Sky Sports. He wrote a book. He gave soccer coaching a go. Eventually, he was coaxed back into inter-county coaching. After a Covid-era training session with the Galway footballers in 2020, McGuinness did some work with Conor Laverty's Down side in 2023. He was also linked with a Donegal return as part of Rory Kavanagh's ticket before the job went to Carr. But this was different. McBrearty, a part of McGuinness' Sam Maguire-winning team, arrived at the coach's house in Creeslough a day after the Tyrone defeat and pleaded for him to spearhead the team's revival. It was a big decision for McGuinness: answer his county's call or keep his distance. It took some time. Nearly two months later, in mid-August, his return was confirmed by the Donegal county board. When asked about his decision to come back, he said his chat with McBrearty "did pull at the heartstrings". "There was a desire to change things and climb the ladder again and make things different. That emotional part was important," he reflected. The aforementioned ladder had many rungs. Before a ball was kicked under McGuinness, he admitted his Donegal squad was at "ground zero". It was hard to disagree. When he returned, it was Donegal's neighbours Derry being talked about as serious All-Ireland contenders. The Oak Leafers were back-to-back Ulster champions and had just installed Mickey Harte as boss. The gulf between the two teams seemed considerable. Harte's surprise move to Derry added further spice to the Ulster landscape and when Donegal were drawn against the holders in last year's Ulster Championship quarter-finals, it gave McGuinness' side an intrigue-packed first championship outing to work towards. By the time the game arrived, Derry and Donegal had Division One and Two titles tucked away, but events in Celtic Park that evening marked McGuinness' side as an emerging championship force. They scored four goals to beat Derry and outlasted Tyrone in extra-time before denying Armagh in a pulsating Ulster final, winning 6-5 on penalties after 90 minutes failed to separate the sides. It had only been a few months, but McGuinness' Donegal were unbeaten in league and championship and already being talked about as All-Ireland contenders, which made their semi-final loss to Galway all the more difficult to stomach. Reflecting on the two-point loss, McGuinness admitted his team's "batteries ran down a wee bit". For a team who looked remarkably fit all year, Donegal's fading efforts against Galway were difficult to understand. For McGuinness, though, there was a sense of clarity. To get back to an All-Ireland final, Donegal required added firepower. Against Galway, Donegal's six starting forwards scored just eight points between them. For McGuinness, there was a missing piece. Enter Michael Murphy. The All-Ireland winning captain under McGuinness in 2012, Murphy retired from inter-county football after the 2022 season and had been working as a BBC pundit before McGuinness called. Like with McGuinness' return, Murphy's second coming did not guarantee success, but the 35-year-old worked hard to whip himself into shape and has flourished under the new rules. Used intelligently by McGuinness - taken off early in wins over Down, Louth and Meath - Murphy has scored 0-44 in 10 championship appearances this season, significantly easing the burden on 2024 top scorer Oisin Gallen and allowing the management team to use McBrearty as an impact player in recent weeks. Behind Murphy, the Donegal machine has operated beautifully. At the opposite end of the field, Shaun Patton has been brilliant in goal and Finnbarr Roarty has excelled at corner-back. Ryan McHugh has run himself into the ground from wing-back while Michael Langan has been a metronomic presence in midfield. For McGuinness, the parallels to his first spell in charge are striking. When he was first appointed in 2010, the team was at a low ebb after a comprehensive All-Ireland qualifier defeat by Armagh. In the first seasons of both spells, he led Donegal to Ulster titles but fell in All-Ireland semi-finals. In 2012, another Ulster crown was followed by the Sam Maguire. Victory over Kerry - whose 2014 All-Ireland final win proved the last act of McGuinness' first tenure - on Sunday would repeat his second-season heroics and further elevate his status in his home county, However, overcoming the Kingdom and in-form superstar David Clifford will require one of his most robust tactical plans. Like McGuinness, Kerry boss Jack O'Connor has found success after going back. He has won four All-Ireland titles in three spells and, like his opposite number, has breathed new life into a group stung by a heartbreaking semi-final loss (to Armagh) last year. O'Connor is living proof that managerial sequels can live up to the original. Given where Donegal sat in 2023, victory on Sunday will vindicate McGuinness' decision to come back and complete one of the sport's most remarkable managerial comebacks.

Rhys McClenaghan, Olympic pommel horse gold medalist, to miss gymnastics worlds
Olympic pommel horse gold medalist Rhys McClenaghan will miss the World Gymnastics Championships in October after undergoing right shoulder surgery. 'I'm disappointed to miss this year's World Championships, but my priority is to maintain my place as the best in the world on pommel horse," he said, according to a representative. "My goal is not only to retain my Olympic title in LA 2028 but to continue striving for gold in every major competition. This surgery was necessary to ensure I can perform at the highest level for years to come. Setbacks are part of elite sport, but my mindset is about turning challenges — as I have done before — into opportunities to raise my performance.' McClenaghan, 26, became the first gymnast to win an Olympic medal for Ireland when he took pommel horse gold in Paris. He's also the lone artistic gymnast to win a world championships medal for Ireland, taking pommel horse bronze in 2019 and gold at the last two editions in 2022 and 2023. McClenaghan is from Northern Ireland and represents Ireland at the Olympics and worlds. Northern Ireland does not compete separately at those events, so athletes from Northern Ireland can choose to compete for Ireland or Great Britain. He previously underwent left shoulder surgery in November 2018 after a labral tear. The last gymnast other than McClenaghan to win a global pommel horse title was American Stephen Nedoroscik at the 2021 Worlds. Nedoroscik also took bronze at the Paris Games. Ilona Maher, Stephen Nedoroscik finish 2nd, 4th on Dancing with the Stars Seven Olympians have won Dancing with the Stars. Nick Zaccardi, behind McClenaghan and Nariman Kurbanov of Kazakhstan.

Who will lift Sam? BBC pundits have their say
All-Ireland SFC final: Donegal v Kerry Date: Sunday, 27 July Venue: Croke Park, Dublin Throw-in: 15:30 BST Coverage: Live on BBC Two NI, BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport website; live text commentary, report, highlights and reaction on BBC Sport website This year's All-Ireland Senior Football final pits Munster winners Kerry against Ulster champions Donegal at Croke Park. Kerry are in a third final in four years and are looking to win the Sam Maguire for a 39th time. Donegal are back in the showpiece occasion for the first time since they were beaten by the Kingdom in 2014 and are aiming for their third All-Ireland win - and first since 2012. The game will be broadcast live on BBC Two NI, BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and ahead of the final we have gathered the thoughts of our star-studded line-up of pundits. 2002 All-Ireland winner Oisin McConville, Philly McMahon, an eight-time All-Ireland winner with Dublin, Tyrone's three-time All-Ireland champion Owen Mulligan, three-time All-Star Conor McManus, Donegal legend Brendan Devenney and Mickey Harte, who lifted Sam three times as Tyrone boss, give their verdict on the big match. Donegal 'a well-oiled machine' Oisin McConville: "After a lot of football played this year, I think we have got to the stage where people thought we might end up. "Kerry were very impressive against Tyrone and Donegal blew Meath away. The two best teams in the country are in the final, that goes without saying. "There is so much to like about both teams and there are so many potential scorers for both teams. There is massive reliance on David Clifford in that Kerry full-forward line. "Donegal have scores absolutely everywhere, they are a well-oiled machine, their bench looks really strong and they might just be able to pip this." Philly McMahon: "It is going to come down to how each team can get after the offensive strategy of the other. "Donegal have players that can score from all angles from their running game and ball inside, whilst Kerry have Sean O'Shea as well as David and Paudie Clifford. "It will come down to which team is going to be strong defensively and who is going to win the shootout and for me, it is going to be Donegal." Brendan Devenney: "Some people have this defensive thing about the Donegal team but it's set up for attack. "Everybody is a ball player and that's where when teams set up the shield around the arc, if you break at pace you're in trouble - as you saw with Meath - because we will destroy you with pace. "But if you hold us up, we've got so many players that can drop it, and really Brendan McCole is the only player that stays. "Everyone else is bombing forward when they can so that's the danger for Kerry. I think the amount of people that can open up a defence in Donegal and score is higher than Kerry's. "Kerry have a couple of superstars in their team so there's a lot of that's going to be left on Clifford's shoulders but there's a wee man McCole for him." Kerry 'over-reliant' on the Cliffords Conor McManus: "A hugely tough one to call. Kerry were brilliant against Tyrone particularly in the second half, they put the game to bed and Donegal were very comfortable against Meath. "The strength of Donegal's squad is the big thing coming into the final. They had 12 different scorers and that may just be the difference. "There is maybe an over-reliance on the two Cliffords and O'Shea, but Donegal are getting their scores from all over the field. "They have a lot of runners from deep and because of that I think you would have to edge it to Donegal maybe by a one-or two-point win." Mickey Harte: "I think it is a final many people expected at the start of the year. "You look at their semi-final performances, they will be very pleased on both counts. "The question is can Donegal collectively negate the full effect of David Clifford, if they manage to do that, I think they can deal with their other threats with the numbers that they have. "The big thing about Donegal is their counter attack is the best in the country, they come with numbers and quality, and they have so many different finishers. I will tip Donegal to come out on top." Owen Mulligan: "It all depends on Clifford. He scored half their scores against Tyrone and we couldn't control him. But I think Jim's got a plan and I think Donegal just have enough to beat Kerry. "I think the bench is going to be very important. The way [Patrick] McBrearty carried himself [in the semi-final]. He was like a new pup coming on. He was very fresh, [Michael] Murphy was doing his thing and [Michael] Langan for me is one of the players of the year. "I can't wait to see him and [Joe] O'Connor going at it but I fancy Donegal to win the All-Ireland." Predictions Oisin McConville: Donegal Philly McMahon: Donegal Brendan Devenney: Donegal Conor McManus: Donegal Owen Mulligan: Donegal Mickey Harte: Donegal
