European bronze for Barr; Transfer window closes

Thomas Barr grabbed a brilliant European bronze medal for Ireland in the final of the 400 metres hurdles last night. Ian O'Riordan reports from Berlin: "He ran brave and bold and all rolled into one crazy, fast race – that bronze medal won out in lane eight too, where only the strongest survive. And, with that, going where no Irishman has gone in the 84 years of these championships: stepping onto the medal podium of a sprint event." Ciara Mageean is the last individual final prospect on the track, and she can't leave anything to chance in her heat this morning with only the top four assured of going through.

Gary Woodland, playing in his 27th career Major but yet to even claim a top-10, carded a six-under-par 64 that enabled him to edge a shot clear of long-time leader Rickie Fowler in the first round of the 100th US PGA Championship. Shane Lowry was best of the Irish with a one-under-par round of 69, Pádraig Harrington signed for a one-over-par round of 71 with Paul Dunne a further two shots back. While playing partners Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods both shot 70. This was the first major sporting event to be shown exclusively online via a stream, and after day one Ruaidhrí Croke provides the verdict.

Cork City's European campaign is all but over for this year after they couldn't capitalise on a good start against Rosenborg at Turner's Cross, ultimately losing 2-0 in their Europa League third qualifying round first leg. The transfer window shut yesterday evening, with Manchester United manager José Mourinho left frustrated. He wanted short-term fixes but the club's hierarchy said no more. As for Everton, they added Barcelona duo Yerry Mina and André Gomes, and Brazilian attacker Bernard. Click here for your deadline day wrap.

In his column this morning Jackie Tyrrell explains why Limerick and Galway must drill down deep this week, the final is won on the pitch but off it there's tactical plans to be finely-honed. "Everything gets broken down," explains the former Kilkenny defender. "How to create space in congested defensive units, the tactical battle, match-ups, how to create space for their forwards lines. The stats app Hudl will be busy on players' phones this week. Who will I be on? Which side does he favour? Who does he look for? What does he not like?"
