Davy Burke steps down as Roscommon manager
Davy Burke has opted to vacate the Roscommon hot seat after the conclusion of his three-year term as manager of the county's senior inter-county footballers. Burke, who became the youngest inter-county manager in history when he took the reigns at Wicklow as a 31-year-old in 2019, succeeded Anthony Cunningham as Rossies boss in October 2022. Confey native Burke also led his native Kildare to All-Ireland Under-20 glory in 2018. Roscommon bowed out of last year's All-Ireland at the quarter-final stage to eventual champions Armagh and, after sealing promotion from Division 2 in the league, failed to reach the All-Ireland series this year. In a statement released via Roscommon GAA, Burke said: After careful consideration, I have decided to step down as Roscommon senior football manager, bringing an end to my three-year term. "I would like to thank the Roscommon County Board, in particular county chairperson Brian Carroll for his unwavering support and loyalty through the highs and lows over the last three years. I appreciated it more than you will know." Brian Carroll said of the departing Burke: "I have witnessed first hand the effort, dedication and commitment Davy has put in since his appointment in October 2022. "I want to thank Davy most sincerely for everything he has done for Roscommon GAA. "We have had highs and lows over the three years but Davy's ambitions and goals for our players, supporters and our county was always to be the very best we could possibly be."

Andre Fabre looking forward to Eclipse with in-form Sosie
Andre Fabre is looking forward to bringing Sosie to England for what should be a thrilling clash of the generations in the Coral-Eclipse. The Sandown highlight is traditionally the first time the Classic generation meet with their elders and this year is no different. Currently the favourite is John and Thady Gosden's hugely impressive Prince of Wales's Stakes winner Ombudsman, ahead of Sosie, the winner of three Group Ones and fourth in last year's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. Representing the Classic form this season is Aidan O'Brien's Camille Pissarro, winner of the French Derby. "Sosie is still on target for the Eclipse, I'm very happy with him," said Fabre. "He's shown good form this season and the owners are keen to run him." Looking at the likely opposition, Fabre said: "I was very impressed with Ombudsman, he looks a very nice colt and did it well. "It could be a small field, we'll see. The Prix du Jockey Club winner could run too and he looks a nice horse. "It should be a good race, that is what you expect, proper competition." Another top-class middle-distance performer who remains in contention for the Eclipse is the Owen Burrows-trained Anmaat, winner of last season's Champion Stakes and best of the rest behind Ombudsman at the Royal meeting last week. Angus Gold, racing manager for owners Shadwell, said: "We were delighted with Anmaat's run in the Prince of Wales's, he travelled very well again, came to win his race and was beaten by what looked an outstanding horse to me who quickened better than him. "I don't think we have any excuses. You could say he'd prefer easier ground, but that's not the reason he got beaten – he got beaten because a better horse beat him. "I spoke to Owen yesterday and he said the horse seems in good shape. The Eclipse certainly comes soon enough for a horse we know can handle soft ground better than some, so we don't want to put him through the mill right through the summer in every top Group One and find we don't have a horse left in the autumn. "We'll monitor him and the ground and the race. The early signs are good that he's come out of it OK, but he is a seven-year-old and we've got to do the right thing by him." Watch Racing from the Curragh on Saturday from 1.30pm on RTÉ2 and RTÉ Player and on Sunday from 2.10pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player.

Linfield's Champions League first leg with Shelbourne to be broadcast live
The Irish broadcaster have revealed that they have added the mouth-watering cross-border tie to their schedule on Wednesday July 9, with the game set for RTÉ2 and the RTÉ Player. The news will go a little bit of the way to soften the blow that Blues fans received when it was revealed that their away allocation would be limited to just 280 tickets due to a restricted capacity at Tolka Park. A club statement read: "The club is extremely disappointed at receiving such a limited allocation for such an important and eagerly anticipated game, however this is completely out of our control." In a statement to the Belfast Telegraph, RTÉ have confirmed that the broadcast will not be geo-blocked and therefore will be available to view in Northern Ireland. RTÉ have also confirmed that they will not be broadcasting the return leg at Windsor Park, with the Belfast Telegraph revealing last week that BBC Northern Ireland are keen on those rights. What was already a blockbuster qualifying tie between the Sports Direct Premiership and League of Ireland champions was made even more tasty when Shelbourne manager Damien Duff stepped down from his role on Sunday. The former Republic of Ireland winger departed the club, who are fifth in the division having won just seven of their 23 games this season and are 14 points adrift of leaders Shamrock Rovers.
