Tottenham triumph as Sunderland capitulate
Updated: Monday, 07 Apr 2014 22:31 | Comments Harry Kane, who is eligible to play for the Republic of Ireland through his Galway father, scores Tottenham's second goal at White Hart Lane Tim Sherwood's future at the Tottenham helm may be less than certain, but his side's 5-1 thumping of Sunderland means the fate of Gus Poyet's side is becoming increasingly clear.

Updated: Friday, 28 Mar 2014 15:41 | Comments Some GAA games may be broadcast on Sky Former GAA president Nickey Brennan has said a mooted deal between the GAA and broadcaster Sky will be of benefit to clubs around the country. Brennan, while stressing that he was unaware if a deal between the GAA and the pay-per-view broadcaster had been done, said he was sure that a majority of games would still be available on free-to-air television. “It is something that has probably been in the pipeline for some time,” Brennan told RTÉ Radio. “I know that Sky has expressed interest the last couple of times that the television rights came up for negotiations.
