Oisín McConville commits to Wicklow amid managerial links
Wicklow manager Oisín McConville has ended speculation linking him with a number of positions by committing his future to the Garden County. The 2002 Armagh All-Ireland winner had been linked with the vacant posts in both Mayo and Louth – and Crossmaglen clubmate Tony McEntee remains linked to the former – but he has agreed a new two-year term with Wicklow. McConville's side just missed out on promotion from Division 4 last season while they were undone by a late Limerick rally to deny them a spot in a first-ever Tailteann Cup final this Saturday. "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." McConville was appointed in late 2022 and will now prepare for his fourth season with the Leinster county. Watch the All-Ireland Football Championship semi-finals with RTÉ Sport.

Sex assault case against Armagh All-Ireland winner to be elevated to Crown Court
Aidan Nugent faces two charges of sexual assault and two of causing or inciting a person to engage in a sexual activity Armagh All-Ireland winner Aidan Nugent who is on bail accused of sexual assault will have his case elevated to the Crown Court next month, a judge has ordered. During a brief update in the case against the 30-year-old defendant, a prosecuting lawyer told Armagh Magistrates Court, sitting in Newry today, that 'papers should be ready' to fix a date for the Preliminary Enquiry (PE) — the legal step necessary to return a criminal case to the Crown Court. The legal representative suggested to District Judge Anne Marshall the PE could be scheduled to be heard on July 22, but that the matter should be reviewed beforehand 'to make sure everything is ready.' Nugent, from the Cullyhanna Road in Newtownhamilton, faces two charges of sexual assault and two of causing or inciting a person to engage in a sexual activity, namely contact with his genitals, on November 17, last year. When the All-Ireland winner first appeared in court last month, the PPS revealed a further four charges will be added to the indictment when the case is sent for trial.

Nugent's defence team has emphasised that during formal police interviews, he claimed that 'any sexual activity was consensual' and that when he was charged with the offences, Nugent replied that 'I deny the allegations — it was consensual.' The All-Ireland winner had been excused from attending court on Tuesday. Adjourning the case to July 8 for review, Judge Marshall excused the defendant from having to attend on that date as well, but ordered that he will have to appear for the PE on July 22.
