Leona Maguire falters as Miya Yamushita hangs on to slim lead at AIG Women's Open
Ireland's Leona Maguire slid down the leaderboard after a third round of three-over-par 75, as overnight leader Miyu Yamushita's advantage was cut down to one shot heading into the final day's play at the AIG Women's Open at Royal Portcawl. Maguire had to make do with just one birdie on a frustrating day on the links in the toughest conditions of the week so far. The Cavan golfer started with a bogey on one but bounced back with a birdie at the par four second hole. However that would be as good as it got for Maguire. Bogeys on seven and ten were compounded with another bogey on the tricky 17th hole to see Maguire sign for a 75. Miyu Yamushita also had to contend for an over-par round, shooting a round of 74, but will be relieved to remain one shot clear heading into the final round. The Japanese golfer was chased down by Korea's A-Lim Kim (eight-under-par) and America's Andrea Lee (seven-under-par) who both shot rounds of 65s to get within reach. England's Charlie Hull is a shot further back on six-under-par.

WLOI round-up: Shels go top after hard-earned win at Cork City
Shelbourne jumped to the top of the SSE Airtricity Women's Premier Division on goal difference with a 2-0 victory over Cork City at Turner's Cross. Without player of the month Kate Mooney due to injury, their American striker Mackenzie Anthony made it two goals in two games before Aoibheann Clancy ensured the spoils with a late penalty. City gave them a stern examination throughout, hitting the post with a late attempt at an equaliser. Although it should be noted that Shels were twice denied by the woodwork. The Dubliners' +33 goal difference is five better than second-placed Athlone Town. City, meanwhile, dropped to the foot of the table due to Sligo Rovers' victory over Waterford. Clancy steps up and delivers! She fires home from the spot to make it 2-0 to Shelbourne with just minutes to play. 🔴 — LOI Women (@LoiWomen) August 2, 2025 The hosts made three changes as they sought to mirror the men's breakthrough in achieving a first win since April. There was a debut for inter-county Gaelic footballer Sadbh McGoldrick, a full debut for Holly O'Hagan, and a first start for Aoife Cronin since re-signing for the club. Shels boss Eoin Wearen opted for four switches after their penalty shoot-out exit from the All-Island Cup. He drafted in Mia Hannon, Lucy O'Rourke, Clancy, and Rebecca Devereux. It was all Shels in the first half, although City could claim to be unlucky to go in behind. Alex Kavanagh nodded an early chance off the post, before being called back for offside. Leah Doyle got in down the left only for the slightest of touches from Clodagh Fitzgerald to turn her shot just past the post. The 17-year-old keeper produced a more routine save from Clancy, while Anthony and Kavanagh, after some great footwork, flashed attempts wide. Shels broke through in the 32nd minute from a half-cleared corner. Kavanagh returned the ball into the box, Anthony flicked it on, and when Jessica Gargan's dink was miscontrolled by Shaunagh McCarthy, Anthony was on hand to tuck away her 10th league goal this were almost level within three minutes. Christina Dring and Eva Mangan combined brilliantly down the right before the latter launched a spectacular curler, which looked destined for the top corner until Amanda McQuillan's fingertips intervened to turn it behind. That kept Shels a goal ahead at the half-time whistle. The woodwork was struck three times after the break; twice by Shels and once by hit the butt of the post in the opening stages after Clancy had battled to regain possession. Clancy was next to test the goal frame with a deflected strike that dipped viciously onto the crossbar. Substitute Jemma Quinn then arrowed in a dangerous first-touch header, which was well held by Fitzgerald. City's big chance came in the 68th minute when Amy McCarthy capitalised on an O'Rourke error. Ellie O'Brien exploited the overlap to feed Áine Walsh, who launched a shot onto the far post. McCarthy floated the rebound just remained up for grabs until two minutes from time. McGoldrick had put in an impressive shift at the back, but was unfortunate to bring down Megan Smyth-Lynch in the box for a penalty. Clancy stepped up to fire home. Cork City: Clodagh Fitzgerald; Holly O'Hagan (Lauren Healy 88), Sadbh McGoldrick, Heidi Mackin, Shaunagh McCarthy; Lauren Homan, Aoife Cronin; Eva Mangan, Ellie O'Brien (Jodie Griffin 76), Áine Walsh (Sophia Redmond 76); Christina Dring (Amy McCarthy 57). Shelbourne: Amanda McQuillan; Nia Hannon, Pearl Slattery, Lucy O'Rourke (Maeve Wollmer 73); Jessica Gargan, Aoibheann Clancy, Rachel Graham (Megan Smyth-Lynch 73), Alex Kavanagh (Gabriella Del Pico 88), Leah Doyle; Rebecca Devereux (Jemma Quinn 64), Mackenzie Anthony. Katie McCarn helped herself to a hat-trick as Bohemians recorded a 5-2 victory away at DLR Waves. Such a goal-fest looked unlikely after 44 goalless minutes, but the away side hit the front seconds before the break. Bohs showed great desire to win the ball back in the middle of the park before good work from Fiona Donnelly down the left saw her low cross turned against the post by Alannah McEvoy and back at the feet of Sarah Power who was left with the simplest of finishes. Katie McCarn adds a second for Bohemians! 🔴⚫ Bohs back in front against DLR Waves. — LOI Women (@LoiWomen) August 2, 2025 DLR Waves were back on terms at the start of the second half as Bohs made an absolute mess of trying to clear a ball into the box – Amber Cosgrove credited with the goal – but Bohs were quickly back in front through McCarn as she put the finishing touches on a superb team passing move. McCarn all but sealed the points in the 82nd minute and Savannah Kane quickly added a fourth. Substitute Amber Cullen did pull one back for the waves minutes from the end, but there was still time for McCarn to complete here hat-trick. Sligo Rovers moved off the foot of the table after a 2-0 win away win in Waterford. Sligo had only one league win going into the game, but they were helped by a 29th minute red card to Waterford's Stephanie Dumevi. They made the most of that numerical advantage to lead at the break with Emma Hansberry putting them ahead in the 37th minute with a long-range strike. It got even better for the visitors in the 65th minute as Alana Doherty turned home a free-kick to secure a rare three points.

Crowley and Hurley give Munster the perfect start at Keady-Tassagh
Wins for Shane Crowley and Emma Hurley gave Munster the perfect start to the All-Ireland series at Keady-Tassagh on Saturday. Crowley's power gave him the edge over Tyrone's Eogan McVeigh in the boys U18 final. Twice he led by close to two bowls, but McVeigh rallied strongly in the final third. It was not enough to derail Crowley who is really maturing in his score management. Emma Hurley was tested too by Ellie-May Carr in the girls U18 final. She took a while to stamp her authority on the score, but once she did, she looked awesome at times. Carr kept pressing down to a brilliant purlicue around the last bend, which put Hurley in a sticky spot. She dealt with that with total calm, with two calculated perfect bowls. Crowley's temperament was put under the microscope from the off as his first bowl was called. He didn't flinch, he responded with an equally good effort. McVeigh beat that by three metres, in what would be his only lead. He was too wide with his next two and found himself a bowl down to Crowley's third. Crowley was close to two ahead after his fifth past Twyman's corner. McVeigh brought the lead under a bowl with a brilliant bowl up Gallogly's height. This became the narrative for much of the score, McVeigh knocking the bowl, Crowley raising it again and threatening to push clear. Crowley was almost two in front again after ten over McGeown's height. McVeigh closed the gap and saw it extend, till he finally got serious traction with a great 16th bowl past McKee's wall. He followed with another good bowl to the bridge. Crowley now had just 58m odds facing up the hill towards the line. McVeigh's gains were squandered when he got a poor shot up the hill. Crowley hit back with a monster bowl that beat the line and gave him victory by a bowl of odds. In the girls U18 final, Carr took the battle to Hurley winning the first three shots. Hurley won her first lead with a great fourth shot over McGeown's height. She pushed her lead out to 50m with her next one, but she could not break clear of a very tenacious Carr. She finally gained a big lead with her ninth past Twynam's cottage. Carr was back in it after her bowl past Twynam's corner. Hurley moved up the gears and raised a bowl at the bus stop. Carr made a valiant effort to turn the tide with a beautifully measured purlicue around the last bend. Hurley closed with two perfectly measured bowls, the first out under the hedge to full light, which kept her lead close to a bowl. She then sent a sizzling bowl down the hill past the line to seal it.
