SOCCER
Jack Grealish is expected to be called into the Irish squad today by manager Martin O'Neill.

The 19 year old has played at under 21 level for Ireland but is now attracting interest from England.
In the Premier league, an inspired display by Swansea keeper Lukas Fabianski helped the Welsh side defeat Arsenal at the Emirates.
Bafetimbi Gomis scored the only goal five minutes from time.

Kick-off is at 7.45pm.
GAELIC GAMES
The recent news that a fringe member of the Monaghan senior football squad has failed a test for a banned steroid has ignited a debate about the level of drug testing in the GAA.
Inter-county players are now being asked to undergo blood testing as part of the Irish Sports Council's anti-doping code.
But Professor Niall Moyna of DCU believes that doping is not a major concern for the GAA.
