Ploughing Championship expects 2022 loss (Irish Examiner)

This year's championships shaping up up be a bumper year but organisers say soaring costs will eat up any possible financial return.

However, Ms McHugh does not expect the association to return to profit this year. This rainy day fund had to be tapped into during Covid and that is what it was for. "I would not anticipate that the Ploughing Championships will make a profit this year — hosting the world contest adds costs in the region of €1.5m and there is no real financial return on that — obviously there is a massive status associated and it is brilliant for tourism but no financial gain for the national ploughing. Ms McHugh said: “We are very cognisant of the losses — of course — it’s a lot of money and we are endeavouring to save costs wherever we can this year without impacting at all on the “event” but we have the reserves and they are being used to produce the ploughing experience exactly the same as we have done over the years.” New accounts filed by The National Ploughing Association of Ireland show the company last year recorded pre-tax losses of €600,353 when the event was cancelled for a second year running due to Covid-19.

He emerged from the dust cloud like John Wayne in an old school western sending the ball up the field. Although maybe not even the three men involved know who touched it last. The Sash number one blocked with his feet, kicking up clouds of dust from the dry Hawkfield pitch. The miss meant the Sash entered half time trailing, 1-6 to 1-4. The first big action that broke the chain of the sides trading scores was Sarsfields’ Niall O’Connor as he found himself with a goal chance from a breaking ball. Just three minutes later it was Celbridge’s turn to have a green flag raised in their name. This was always going to be a tense game given the implications and so it proved early on. He won this game for his team and was near unbeatable on the day, only beaten by a brilliant Oisin Lynam effort five minutes before the half. Sarsfields have relegated Celbridge with a narrow victory to maintain their own senior hurling status for next year.

European Athletics Championships: Olatunde and Adekele make ... (The Irish Times)

Ireland's Israel Olatunde has reached the 100 metres final at the European Championships after finishing second in his semi-final.

“I trained the best I ever had since (the World Championships in) Oregon but I do struggle a lot mentally and I thought I got it sorted for today, but it’s like my energy just goes. “I wanted to stay out of trouble, I saw the men’s 1,500 yesterday and it was scrappy and I saw the boys fall back. In a typically honest assessment of her race Healy — as she did in Tokyo last year — said the matter may well be psychological. I’ll keep working at it and I believe my day will come eventually.” I keep learning the same lesson at every major championships, so it’s tough.” “It went exactly as I thought, I was prepared for any race,” said Mageean, the 10.15am local start of no bother to her. “It’s quite a quick turnaround compared to Worlds, so I wanted to try conserve a lot of energy, but I guess I thought I was comfortable in second. “So I started training again and though yeah let’s go and do this, And that’s the fastest time I’ve ever run in a prelim. “I’ve taken a close look at their races and Ennaoui ran very well and I’ve taken note of that. I’ve been doing the 400m for such a short period that every race I am learning how to run it so each race is an experience in itself. In a close photo finish on the line, the Irish sprinter finished behind Marcell Jacobs of Italy. “I was pretty relaxed, initially we didn’t really know what shape we were in.

Olatunde was the first Irish athlete to ever reach a major championship 100m decider over the flat.

Olatunde dipped in 10.17 seconds, breaking the 15-year-old mark of Paul Hession, set at the European Cup in Vaasa in 2007. The UCD sprinter, on the books of Dun Dealgan AC for a long time and the first ever Irish athlete to reach a senior Championship athletics 100m final, celebrated with the tricolour on the famous Olympic Stadium track when his time came up. Israel Olatunde has set a new Irish 100m record in finishing sixth in the European Championships Final in Munich.

Israel Olatunde has broken the Irish 100m record in tonight's European Championships 100m final in Munich, Germany.

“But this year has been a dream year for me and I’m a lot closer to the top lads. McElhinney said he had “never experienced anything like” what occurred over the final 300 metres as his legs began to fail him. Coming into this, I’m one of the young lads who had a breakthrough season but you want to be able to compete with those top guys.” “I gave it my all but you want to be with those leaders, in there competing. In a race won by world champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen in 13:21.13, Fay came through strongly on the last lap to clock 13:31.87 for eighth. I was more excited than nervous coming out, but I told myself to just enjoy it.”

Rhasidat Adeleke may have been running her 48th race of the year but looked as fresh as a daisy as she cruised to third place in her semi-final in 51.08. Donegal man Brendan Boyce bounced back from a lowly 25th place at the recent Worlds to take 10th in the 35K walk. In the morning session, Ciara Mageean marked herself out as a potential medallist with a confident running performance in her heat to move confidently through to Friday’s final. He shared that time with the fifth placer, Mouhamadou Fall of France, and was only three-hundredths of a second off the bronze medal spot taken by Great Britain’s Jeremiah Azu.

Alldrick, FanShare Sports: Cam Davis (65-1, DraftKings) — Davis ranks top 10 in the field this week for SG/approach on long courses and is a solid putter on bentgrass greens so it’s not surprising to see that he ranks ninth in the FanShare Sports course-suitability ranking this week. Alldrick, FanShare Sports: Cam Davis (-110) over Davis Riley (Bet365) — As you can see above I really like Davis as my longshot to win this week. Hennessey, Golf Digest: Xander Schauffele (14-1, DraftKings) — It’s a scary proposition to fade a guy who has only finished outside the top 20 once since April. Mayo: Scottie Scheffler (14-1, DraftKings) — The putting wasn’t an issue until the iron play started to falter. Caddie: Scottie Scheffler (14-1, DraftKings) — Not the past a couple of months you’d want to see from Scottie. [FanShare Sports](https://www.fansharesports.com/): Patrick Cantlay (14-1, DraftKings) — Cantlay’s excellent off-the-tee game and sharp approach play on long courses means he ranks first in the FanShareSports Course Suitability Ranking this week. [ Mayo Media Network](https://bit.ly/YTMMN) analyst: Cameron Young (25-1, DraftKings) — Near the tops in the field in driving and irons, the putter went frigid for Young last week. Brandon Gdula also hit on Hovland at Mayakoba, as well as Justin Thomas at the PGA (16-1), and Stephen Hennessey cashed on Hideki Matsuyama (12-1) at the Zozo Championship. Brandon Gdula, FanDuel/numberFire managing editor: Xander Schauffele (20-1, FanDuel) — Xander is one of the rare few with distance and accuracy, and that could help him separate this week off the tee. Long and straight off the tee, strong iron play and elite bentgrass putting seem to be the requirements to contend at Wilmington, and all of that is right up Cantlay’s alley. He’s fourth in SG/off the tee, fourth in Birdies or Better, fifth in approach—and also first in three-putt avoidance over the past 50 rounds. Anonymous Caddie Picker of the week: Tony Finau (16-1, PointsBet) — It’s not a bold statement to say Tony Finau is the best player on the PGA Tour right now.

Players work to figure out Wilmington Country Club because most had never played the course before this week.

And few embrace the grind of tournament prep the way Fitzpatrick does. “You've got to hit it as far as you can and hit a lot of fairways," Cantlay said. The venues between last year and this year are actually really similar, I think, in style of golf.” You just know there’s a shot you have to hit and that’s it.

He's a good ball striker - 16th on the circuit in strokes gained tee to green and if the putter co-operates, he's well capable of being around the top of the leaderboard come Sunday at a tasty price. Young is second in strokes gained off the tee this season, hits it a mile, is 13th in strokes gained tee to green and 13th in strokes gained total. The wheels fell off on the weekend at Southwind for Pendrith, but he still managed to scrape into the top 70 and this is a new week. He returned with four top 15 finishes in a row, including a tie for second place at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. Consistency - he has collected ten top ten finishes in 18 starts this season, including a tie for eighth at the Open Championship last month and a tie for second on his penultimate start at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. Our final selection is Mito Pereira for €3 each way at 100/1. He sustained a rib injury at The Players Championship back in March and was out for four months. Our second selection is Cameron Young for €4 each way at 28/1. That said, he likes the type of grass they play on this week - Bentgrass - he's been the top putter on that surface in recent times and it's likely that the Bermuda greens didn't suit last week. The host course is a new venue for the PGA Tour - Wilmington Country Club - a long par 71 with large greens. Our headline selection is Patrick Cantlay for €5 each way at 16/1. It was a welcome winner after a quiet spell, but golf predicting has its ups and downs - we have managed to tip two 25/1 winners, a 66/1 winner and an 80/1 winner on Virtual Insanity this year.

Former Ireland youth international Bonham was held in reserve. Reading had lost three of their four outings, including a 4-0 defeat at Rotherham on Saturday. But with Chris Wilder’s side ready to celebrate their first victory of the season, 20-year-old sub Wright-Phillips showed the family finishing skills to snatch a point in injury time. It came as a relief to Reading, who had conceded a goal in the opening 10 minutes of each of their four fixtures. And 12 minutes from time, Reading substitute Lucas Joao secured a surprise victory with a smart turn and finish, condemning Rovers to their first defeat of the season.

Norwood's pass, intended for Sander Berge, was dummied into the path of Ahmedhodzic whose low cross to the near post was tapped in by Lowe. After James McAtee nipped in to win possession following a hesitant touch from Neil, he was brought down by the Sunderland player as he raced towards goal and referee James Linington immediately brandished a red card. Jones supplied a low cross to the near post for Watmore to nip ahead of Jagielka to equalise. It was the hosts who dominated most of the first period, with defender Tom McIntyre nodding them in front in the 14th minute.
