Bronze for Ireland's Britney Arendse at the European Para Powerlifting Champs in Tbilisi, her third European medal. Bronze in the total lift as well. Four, so. Great to see Louise Sugden back on top in the sport too as a two-time European champ. #Tbilisi2026 #ParaPowerlifting #Paralympics

So overnight (for me) Sint-Truiden did it again. A late Matsuzawa winner to beat Cercle Brugge 2-1 for 13 wins in 16 games and they’re three points off the top. And just look at those faces. #STVCER

Leeds vs Norwich? Sure why not? Good goal too.

Unbelievable goal on his professional debut from 18-year-old Senegalese Ibrahima CissΓ©. He's put Gent 3-1 up on Mechelen and they're about to go sixth and heading into the title play-off spots. #GNTKVM

Britney Arendse's on tomorrow, so you've a bit of a wait coming.

Massive win for Union last night, basically an early start to the play-offs. A big blow for Genk however they should still make it.

Club win with a 99th minute winner from Joel OrdoΓ±ez to win 2-1 at Charleroi, who suffered with a red card and a penalty against and not getting a free-kick in the build-up to the winner. 8 wins in 10 in the league for Club, now only a point off Union at the top. #CHACLU

File this one under shock. Antwerp lose five out of six, Sint-Truiden win 12 out of 14, they meet tonight and Antwerp win. Funny old game, Saint. #ANTSTV

What a way to leave February. A great chance to see Sint Truiden go top again tonight, 12 wins in the last 14, away to Antwerp, 5 losses in 6 but still in the hunt. Underway on DAZN everywhere shortly. #ANTSTV

The man was a genius, even when he was "winding down" his career. So much coverage he was responsible for I took in as a kid, when there was little sports coverage on TV compared to today, so you made sure you watched every second. Lovely to have worked with him for a few years.

Michael O'Carroll: The man who pushed the envelope Former RTÉ Sport producer and director Michael O'Carroll died earlier this week. Stephen Alkin, formerly of RTÉ Sport, has paid tribute to his colleague and friend and what he did for Irish cycling in...

Michael O'Carroll was my first director at Setanta Ireland when I started working regularly for them in the mid-00s. They had many ex-RTE people in key spots, himself included. Coming back from games he had so many great stories from the "classic" days of TV. RIP Michael www.rte.ie/sport/footba...

Crazy game of football. Anderlecht ending their worst in-season league run in 89 years, 4-2 winners at Zulte Waregem, who had 30 attempts. Thorgan Hazard with a hat-trick on his first visit to the club where he almost won the league over a decade ago. Madness. #ZWAAND
