On the record

“If David Humphreys was still at Ulster, there’s no doubt Mark Anscombe would still be here.”

A source in Ulster tries to make some sense of the goings on in the northern province.

The Fixture list

There’s no World Cup…. but that doesn’t mean that sport takes a day off. Cork meet Kerry in the  Munster junior football final (Tralee, 7.30pm).

The quarter-finals in both the men’s and women’s draw at Wimbledon get under way. Andy Murray faces Gregor Dimitrov, Roger Federer meets Stan Wawrinka, Sabine Lisicki meets Simona Halep and Angelique Kerber takes on Eugenie Bouchard.

Showbiz, Baby

If you’re going to unleash a shot this ridiculously good, you might as well go ahead and beat Rafa Nadal while you’re at it.
