The Morning Score: Friday

Jedward are into the final on away goals or something….

1. #PLAYERS Graeme McDowell bounced back to form with a five-under-par 67 on a day at the Players Championship yesterday.

But the big news is Tiger Woods’ early exit. He limped out after a terrible nine holes.

Golf experts are concerned Woods may need to take a long break from the game.

2. #PLAY-OFFS Swansea managed to escape the City Ground with a creditable scoreless draw in the first round of their Championship play-off semi-final.

The visitors had Neil Taylor dismissed in the second-minute for a lunge on Lewis McGugan, but then dug deep to stay in the tie.

3. #CATS On the even of another Championship start, Kilkenny great Martin Comerford has bowed out of the inter-county scene.

‘The time has come for me to go,’ he told the Kilkenny People.

4. #BAN It hasn’t been a great week for Sebastien Chabal has it? Earlier he was omitted from the France squad for the Rugby World Cup and yesterday he was suspended for 60 days after he criticised French referees.

5. #RACING Carlton House ran out an impressive winner of the Dante Stakes at York yesterday, laying down a marker for the Derby. Queen Eilzabeth will be happy.

6. #YOUTUBE Last night we brought you our weekly YouTube round-up. This is my super-fave.
