McConville extends stint as Wicklow boss
The Armagh All-Ireland winner was appointed in 2022 and led the county to the Tailteann Cup semi-finals in June, where they lost to Limerick.

The Leinster county also narrowly missed out on promotion to Division Three earlier this year.
Following that loss, McConville questioned whether he would continue in the role given the travel commitments.
McConville was co-manager of his own club Crossmaglen when they won the Ulster title in 2015.
He also managed Seneschalstown in Meath and had a spell in charge of Monaghan outfit Inniskeen Grattans.
"This year, under his leadership, Wicklow came within a score of promotion and delivered a thrilling Tailteann Cup semi-final display, only to be edged out by Limerick in the closing minutes," Wicklow GAA said.

"The progress achieved on and off the field has been widely commended by players, supporters and county board delegates alike."
Their statement added: "His commitment to fostering emerging talent, refining our tactical identity and driving a high-performance culture gives us every confidence that Wicklow football will continue to flourish."

Right guard competition, Jahan Dotson's role and other notes from Philadelphia Eagles training camp
The Philadelphia Eagles were in shorts and shells again Monday during Day 4 of training camp at the NovaCare Complex. The Birds are expected to break out the full pads for practice Tuesday. Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter was back on the field Monday after missing the first few days with a shoulder injury. Linebacker Jihaad Campbell and offensive linemen Kenyon Green and Cam Jurgens were also limited participants. "He'll be out there today, so we're not going to get too much into injuries or anything like that. But he'll be out there today," head coach Nick Sirianni said of Carter before practice. "Looking forward to having him out there today." Wide receiver DeVonta Smith did not practice due to back tightness. Rookie safety Andrew Mukuba also didn't practice Monday with a shoulder injury. Sirianni said he wouldn't discuss injuries too much at this point in training camp. The Eagles are returning 10 of 11 starters after right guard Mekhi Becton left in free agency. One of the biggest battles entering camp for the Super Bowl LIX champions was at right guard, but so far, it appears to be a one-man race. Tyler Steen, a 2023 third-round pick out of Alabama, has taken first-team reps at right guard every day. "I think I grew more last year than I did in my rookie year," Steen said. "I think getting the opportunity to go in there and play and get some experience and getting more and more comfortable at guard really helped me gain some confidence going into this year." Steen entered training camp as the presumptive favorite to start at right guard, but an injury opened the door for Becton. The 25-year-old started two games last season. Sirianni was asked Monday if the Eagles planned to open up competition in camp. "Everything's a competition. We're evaluating the twos and the threes," Sirianni said. "As of right now, it's the same way we're evaluating the ones, and we'll see. Tyler's done a nice job so far and has worked in there with the ones through OTAs, and as training camp has started right here. But we've got a lot of good pieces there." Jahan Dotson had just 19 catches for 216 yards in 17 regular-season games last season, after the Eagles acquired him from the Washington Commanders in an August trade. Dotson did have an impact in the playoffs, catching a TD against the Green Bay Packers and making a play early in the Birds' Super Bowl LIX win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Dotson, 25, was asked about his role in the Eagles' offseason this season. He said his versatility is his biggest asset. "I'm kind of the guy who can pretty much play everywhere, going back to me coming in late last year and kind of learning offense on the fly and not missing a beat. That was a big thing for me," Dotson said. "I feel like I'm a guy you can throw me anywhere, X, Y, Z, F, I'm going to do my job. I'm going to make it happen. That's what the team has looked at me for. Being kind of a spark plug if we need a play. I'm going to make the most of my opportunities when they come my way." The Penn State product enters camp as the Eagles' likely No. 3 wideout. The Eagles signed Terrace Marshall Jr. to a one-year deal, and the former second-round pick could push Dotson on the depth chart in training Dougherty contributed to this report.

Liverpool about to UNLOCK £130m Alexander Isak deal
Liverpool have got Alexander Isak in their sights. The Newcastle forward has made it clear he wishes to leave St. James' Park and has got NO intention of signing a new contract. Nonetheless, the striker is out of contract in 2028 and so the Magpies are entitled to set a high price for him. LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now A fee of between £120m and £130m has been mentioned for the 25-year-old - with Liverpool unfazed about breaking the British transfer record for a SECOND time in one summer. Current record holder Florian Wirtz only moved to the Reds a matter of weeks ago - for a fee that could end up reaching £116m. Liverpool assembling £130m Isak package If the opportunity arises to land Isak - who scored 23 goals in the Premier League last year - then expect sporting director Richard Hughes to pull the trigger. The club will however require sales in order to fund the next stage of their transfer plan. Wirtz and the rest of the arrivals have cost Liverpool in the region of £260m so far this summer. Money will need to be clawed back - although €75m will soon be deposited in the account from Bayern Munich for Luis Diaz. That takes Liverpool about halfway towards their Isak total - and Darwin Nunez could help pay for the rest. Darwin Nunez exit could UNLOCK Isak funds The Uruguay international, 26, cost Liverpool up to £85m when he moved from Benfica back in 2022 but it's no secret that he's available this summer. Hughes is in a good position to command a high fee given the duration of Nunez's contract - which extends to 2028. There have been several suitors in the mix for the No9 - including Atletico Madrid, Napoli and AC Milan but his future looks set to be played out in Saudi Arabia. but now a new side has emerged on the radar. © IMAGO - Darwin Nunez Liverpool Al-Ahli considering Nunez bid Having sold Liverpool icon Roberto Firimino to Al-Sadd in Qatar last week, Al-Ahli have got a vacancy up top and according to Paul Joyce in The Times they have got Nunez in mind. 'Darwin Núñez is another player who could move on, with clubs in the Saudi Pro League having long tracked the Uruguay forward,' the report reads. 'Al-Ahli are the latest team to consider bidding for Núñez.' Liverpool would like to bank around £70m for Nunez, who only scored five Premier League goals last season. If they can achieve that sum from Al-Ahli then it would mean the club are close to their funding target for making an Isak bid. It's sad that things haven't worked out for Nunez, who played no part in the weekend preseason defeat to AC Milan, but the time has come for the Reds to make a significant upgrade up top.

Liverpool Transfer News: Star officially jets out to COMPLETE enormous deal
A mega-deal is one the brink of happening as a star flies out to complete it. Liverpool are making enormous waves this summer. Liverpool have completed some of the absolute biggest transfers in this window, including the biggest. Florian Wirtz's record arrival from Bayer Leverkusen rocked football. LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now The Reds have also gone out and broken their transfer record at both left-back and right-back, while Hugo Ekitike joined from Eintracht Frankfurt for around €80m. It's been a massive summer - we've never seen the like. But it really isn't going to stop there. Liverpool want Alexander Isak from Newcastle United, for one, and he'll cost a potential British record fee if they decide to sell. And even that's not the lot. The Reds continue to bring stars in and that means stars must leave. Some of the most expensive sales in Liverpool's histoy are expected and it appears one of them is about to go through. It's now just a matter of time. Luis Diaz flies out to Munich James Pearce is one of many journalists reporting that Luis Diaz has now said goodbye to Liverpool and flown out to complete a move to Bayern Munich. It's a deal we've all been expecting for the last week and now it's going to go through. Bayern, along with Barcelona, have courted Diaz for well over a month now. They initially saw at least one offer rejected for the Colombian, though they've now found a complete agreement with Liverpool. Funnily enough, their attention turned to Diaz after they lost out on Wirtz. The German was seen as an absolute certainty to join Bayern before ultimately picking Liverpool.
