The Morning Score: Thursday

Porto enjoy a good night out in Dublin, Leinster sweat on Brian O’Driscoll and Tiger falls out of the top 10 in the world since the first time he won the Masters.

1. #EUROPA LEAGUE Porto came out in the all-Portuguese tournament decider at the ‘Dublin Arena last night.

Andre Villas-Boas’ side scored just before half-time, through a superb Falcao header, and Braga couldn’t level it despite some pressure in the second half.

We were there, read how it happened here.

2. #ROYAL VISIT Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II made her historic visit to Croke Park yesterday afternoon. See how it happened here.

3. #DEMISE Tiger Woods will fall out of the world top 10 when the rankings are published on Monday.

It will be his first time outside golf’s best 10 since he won his first Masters.

4. #HEINEKEN CUP Leinster are expected to offer us an update on Brian O’Driscoll’s fitness today ahead of Saturday’s European Cup final.

Whether BOD makes it or not, our man Niall is packing his bags and looking for his passport.

We’ve booked him on mammoth 48-hour bus-and-ferry trip to see the game – and given him an internet dongle in lieu of accommodation. Follow his progress across the Irish Sea and Leinster’s bid for glory throughout the weekend.
