The Morning Score: Wednesday

Le Tour, the Open, the championship. It’s all here to complement your Coco Pops.

1. #CHAMPIONS LEAGUE Shamrock Rovers will take a slender one-goal lead to Estonia next week.

Chris Turner scored the only goal of the game against FC Tallinn last night at Tallaght, minutes after the visitors failed to convert a penalty in their Champions League clash.

2. #BRITISH OPEN The world’s top golfers will finalise their preparations on the final day of practice at Sandwich today.

We plan to liveblog all four days of action – please send tea and other non-perishable food stuffs.

In the meantime check out some of our retrospective stuff – like this, when Tiger was good.

3. #LE TOUR After Monday’s rest day, we were back in the saddle yesterday for stage 10 of the Tour de France. And what a result it was.

My buddy Mark Cavendish was beaten on the line by André Greipel in a bunch sprint in Carmaux.

Today? Well today sees the sprinters enjoy a flat 167.5km from Blaye-Les-Mines to Lavaur. I guarantee you Cav will win (don’t quote me on that).

4. #GAA Munster Council bosses will decide today on whether to defer next week’s provincial U21 hurling championship match, as Limerick have requested.

5. #HOWZAT? Richie Berrington was the hero for Scotland as they completed a sensational fightback against Ireland yesterday.

Scotland reached 323 for five with nine balls to spare thanks to six sixes off 23 balls from Berrington. Read a full report here.

6. #FOUL BALL Yesterday we told you about this guy; he nearly fell from the stand during the home run derby. Now the video’s online.
