GAA
Brian Whelahan has stepped down as Offaly senior hurling manager.
The legendary wing-back has informed the County Board that he will not be seeking a third year in charge of the side following this year's disappointing performances that saw them lose to Laois in the Leinster quarter-finals before suffering a 20-point loss to Clare in the All-Ireland qualifiers.
Senior football boss Pat Flanagan will meet with a review committee next week to discuss his future.
Meanwhile, the Clare County Board has confirmed that senior hurling manager Davy Fitzgerald and senior football manager Colm Collins are to remain in their roles for next season.
And the Limerick County Board has also confirmed that they want TJ Ryan to continue as their senior hurling manager, despite the disappointment of last weekend's championship exit at the hands of Dublin.
SOCCER
Shamrock Rovers have confirmed the capture of Damien Duff.
The former Irish international has agreed an 18-month contract that will see him line-up with Rovers at the Tallaght Stadium up until the end of the 2016 season.
However, the 36-year-old will not be fit in time for Rovers' upcoming Europa League qualifiers against Norwegian side, Odd Ballklubb.

The 20-year-old has become the most expensive signing in English football after agreeing a five-year deal in a move that is set to cost City £49M.
