Will the failure to take their chances deny Dundalk FC regaining their Premier League status?
The Argus Today at 11:30 It's hard to think of one of the 23 games that Dundalk have played this season in the SSE Airtricity Men's First Division that they shouldn't have won such was their superiority in possession and chances created in almost all of the games. Yet they have managed just 14 wins, drawing seven and losing two - their latest their second defeat away to Bray Wanderers on Friday night.

Everything you need to know for the Open Championship 2025
The Open Championship returns to the island of Ireland this week, as for the second time in six years, Royal Portrush hosts golf's oldest major for its 153rd edition. It last hosted the major in 2019 in what was a historic moment in Irish sport. It was the first time since 1951 that the major was hosted on the island, and it was marked by a win from Shane Lowry, who set a course record on his way to winning his maiden Major. Xander Schauffele comes into this year's tournament as the reigning Champion Golfer of the Year after his triumph in Royal Troon last year. There's been a lot of anticipation heading into this week as it's the final major of the year and the final one before the Ryder Cup in September. 12 September 2023; An aerial view of the green on the 375 yard par 4 5th hole.
