Fiona Murtagh takes World Cup silver, Fintan McCarthy and Konan Pazzaia claim bronze
Fiona Murtagh won women's single silver at the World Rowing Cup in Lucerne on Sunday morning, with Fintan McCarthy and Konan Pazzaia taking bronze in the men's double sculls A final.
Tokyo 2020 bronze medallist Murtagh was pipped to gold by Great Britain's Lauren Henry; the Dane Frida Sanggaard Nielsen had to settle for third.
It was a carbon copy of the European Rowing Championships final earlier this month which was won by Henry, with Murtagh second and Sanggaard Nielsen behind her.
The two Irish crews went head to head in the men's doubles sculls final after coming through their respective semi-finals on Saturday. Paul O'Donovan and Daire Lynch were up against McCarthy and Pazzaia.
McCarthy and O'Donovan won back-to-back Olympic golds in the lightweight double sculls at Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024, but the former was paired with Pazzaia in Switzerland, and they delivered a strong showing to earn a top-three finish.
O'Donovan and Lynch crossed the line in fifth.

Lavin stars in 100m but Ireland fall short in their top tier promotion bid in Slovenia
The Irish amassed 349 points across the two-day event, leaving them adrift of the top-three nations who were promoted to the first division: Belgium (451.5), Slovenia (402.5) and Norway (400). Lavin was the sole Irish winner across the weekend, her winning time of 12.82 in still conditions just shy of her season's best of 12.76, which she ran in Ostrava earlier in the week. On Saturday, she also helped the Irish women's 4x100m team to third place. Ireland had been slumming it in division three at the last edition of this event in 2023, but finished top of the standings to bounce straight back. They had been relegated to the third tier due to their no-show in 2021 because of the quarantine requirements at the time. Since the European Cup was replaced by the European Team Championships in 2009, Ireland has otherwise occupied the mid-table positions in the second tier, never lower than 10th, but never likely to get promoted, with this being their best result in that time. Ireland is undoubtedly a division one nation on the track but the relative weakness in field events, coupled with the absence of many star names, makes it hard to make that a reality. 'Of course we'd love to be top three,' said Lavin. 'I think, particularly in recent years, Ireland belong in that first division with the powerhouses of Europe.' Lavin is never one to turn down an Irish vest and she again made a key contribution here. 'To get maximum points for the team was the priority – I was number three on season's best,' she said. 'It's 11 weeks today to Tokyo round one and that's the big one this year, but any opportunity you can take to put on your country's singlet, you want to represent it to the maximum of your capabilities.' Another of their leading performers was Nicola Tuthill, who produced the second biggest throw of her career to take third in the women's hammer. The Cork athlete survived some nervy moments after opening with two fouls before unleashing a 68.30m throw to ensure three more chances. She threw her leading mark of 70.50m in the fourth round, and one of her subsequent fouls was a huge throw, close to her recent Irish U-23 record of 71.71m in Finland. 'It was not my best competition,' said Tuthill. 'I am proud of myself for getting one in (in the third round) because I was getting really stressed there, but then I got over 70. I'm disappointed the fouls weren't in the sector.' The action concluded with the mixed 4x400m where Jack Raftery, Cliodhna Manning, Callum Baird and Sharlene Mawdsley finished second in their heat, and fourth overall, in 3:14.81. Elsewhere, Cian McPhillips showed impressive closing speed to come from well behind and finish third in the men's 800m, the Longford native clocking 1:46.37. 'It's been a bit of a rough season, I'm only getting back from injury after the European Indoors,' he said. 'I wasn't sure what shape I was in, but I knew whatever I did run would be a start point and hopefully I'll go a bit quicker over the coming months. The two guys ahead of me are 1:44 flat (800m) and 3:31 (1500m) guys, I'm up there with the best. I couldn't ask for much more.' Laura Nicholson turned in an impressive front-running display in the women's 1500m and battled strongly for fourth place in 4:20.48. Finley Daly finished a fine fourth in the 3000m steeplechase in 8:51.89, while Róisín Flanagan finished sixth in the 5000m in 16:04.21. Adam Nolan suffered a dangerous fall in the 110m hurdles and insult was added to injury when he was disqualified for failing to clear the final barrier. Lauren Roy came home fifth in the women's 200m in 23.32, while Marcus Lawler was sixth in the men's race in 20.81. Niamh Fogarty threw a personal best of 14.29m to finish seventh in the shot put.

Winger Paidi Farrell's brace of helps Ireland to opening victory over Georgia at World Rugby Under-20 Championships
Old Wesley clubman Paidi Farrell scored two tries as the Ireland got off to a winning start at the World Rugby U-20 Championship courtesy of a 35-28 win over Georgia. Farrell scored a try in each half with Henry Walker, Mahon Ronan and Charlie Molony also scoring a try each in a five try bonus point win. Tom Wood, son of former Munster, Ireland and Lions captain Keith Wood, also kicked ten points from the tee. Ireland came into this game off the back of a poor Six Nations where they won just once out of five games, but have gotten off to a perfect start in a tough pool that also features tournament hosts Italy and last year's finalists New Zealand. Despite the 6pm kick-off time in Calvisano, there were water breaks needed as the temperature hit 34 degrees. That energy sapping feeling translated onto the pitch, more so in the first half, as Ireland pulled clear in the third quarter to avoid any late drama. Neil Doak's men scored from their first possession as Farrell, who did not feature in the Six Nations, got Ireland's opening try of the championship. Munster academy duo Michael Foy and Eoghan Smyth linked up in midfield to take Ireland within striking distance of the line. Tom Wood's cross field kick found it's way to Farrell and Ireland were off the mark. The Ballina-Killaloe product Wood would extend Ireland's lead to eight a few minutes later following an impressive scrum penalty won by the Irish front-row, although this was one area the Georgian's would dominate across the game. Georgia crossed for the first of their scores right on the quarter hour through lock Gagi Margvelashvili. The Racing 92 man powered over from close range as Ireland failed to deal with the Georgian power through contact. The sides would trade tries from here, with Ireland scoring next. Tom Wood's magnificent 50/22 meant Ireland had a close to the Georgian line, and after a powerful rolling maul from all eight Irish forwards, Ulster hooker Henry Walker dotted down for his third try of the year. Georgia responded through scrum-half Giorgi Spanderashvili, who scored two quick finish tries, but the middle period of the game was dominated by Ireland. Wood landed a penalty before half-time to give Ireland a four point lead at the break, before they went up a gear. Paidi Farrell started the second half like he did the first with a run-in try in the right corner, combining with Eoghan Smyth again. Spanderashvili reduced the Margin before tries from the impressive second-row Mahon Ronan and fellow Leinster man Charlie Moloney gave Ireland a 14 point cushion heading into the final quarter. Ronan was busy throughout the contest and powered over from close range for Ireland's all important fourth try, ad bonus point score, having made an initial barnstorming carry a few phases prior. Molony's score on the hour mark put Ireland out of sight. The UCD outside back glided past the Georgian defensive line to dot down, not needing the support line of Luke Murphy in the two v one. Georgia scored late on through Shota Kheladze to give them two bonus points, but the boys in green were never tested in the closing stages. Ireland are back in action on Friday night as they face Italy in Viadana, hoping to go one better than the Six Nations clash between the two sides back in March.
