Cycling: Stephen Gallagher passed the yellow jersey to his Sean Kelly teammate Mark Cassidy after the third stage of the FBD Insurance Rás today.

Meath racer Cassidy's 15th place finish in Lisdoonvarna was good enough to secure a three-second advantage in the overall standings, while Gallagher remains high up the pecking order.

England's Chris Newton claimed today's stage, just managing to hold off the challenge of Ireland's David McCann over the final kilometre.
