Every morning TheScore.ie brings you the stories you need to know before that first cup of coffee.
1. #GAA It’s done. Tipperary last night announced that Eamon O’Shea has been appointed as the county’s new hurling boss.
O’Shea was previously the team’s coach from 2008-2010, and was part of their All-Ireland triumph in the final year of his time in the position, as well as representing the county as a player at senior level between 1979 and 1986
He succeeds Declan Ryan, who left after the side’s comprehensive loss against Kilkenny in the semi-final of this year’s All-Ireland Championship.
2. #UPSET Everton were last night dumped out of the League cup — whatever it’s called this year — and Man City were stunned by Paul Lambert’s Aston Villa. Catch up on all the action here.
3. #WORLDCUP2014 Giovanni Trapattoni will this afternoon name his squad for the qualifier double header — against Germany and the Faroe Islands — at the Aviva Stadium this afternoon. We’ll be there.
4. #RUN-IN St Pat’s kept their part of the bargain last night in the Airtricity League title chase, beating Dublin rivals Shamrock Rovers 2-1 at Richmond Park. The win leaves the Saints in second place, six points behind leaders Sligo, with five games left to play.
5. #WIZARD You win the All-Ireland minor football championship. And then meet up with Hogwart’s favourite son. Why not?
