The Final Whistle: Froome claims another Tour de France win

GAA

Waterford were victorious today in the All-Ireland quarter-finals by a score of 2-21 Dublin 1-19, as the Déise proved their class in the second half with a dominant display.

The end of the match was marred by a red card for Liam Rushe for striking Shanahan in the face with his hurl, an expression of the frustration that he had felt as Dublin were gradually edged out of the game by Waterford throughout the second half. 

A dominant Galway side proved to be far too much for Cork to handle as they eased their way to a 12 point win over Jimmy Barry Murphy's men today in Thurles. 

Jonathan Glynn, who was in great form today, put paid to the notion that Galway only had one forward with some NSFW language in the post-match interview.

CYCLING 

Chris Froome has been declared winner of the 2015 Tour de France after the clock was stopped as he reached Paris's Champs-Elysees.

The Team Sky rider was ahead before the final 21st stage of the race began earlier on Sunday but needed to complete the race in order to become champion.

He is the first British cyclist to win the event - widely regarded as one of sport's toughest challenges - twice.

Due to wet weather in northern France, organised decided that the riders did not have complete ten laps of the Champs-Elysee's in order to qualify for overall placings.

CAMOGIE

The draw to determine the final qualifier from Group 2 of the Liberty Insurance senior camogie championship has been deferred on foot of appeals lodged by both Dublin and Clare.

Clare made short work of Derry at Cusack Park to keep themselves in contention for a place in the knockout stages of the Liberty Insurance senior camogie championship, registering a 4-19 to 1-6 win.

The victory brings them level with Dublin in third place in Group 2.

Initially, the Camogie Association stated the two sides would be forced to draw lots to decide which side advanced to the quarter-finals following the game this weekend. Dublin and Clare are on equal footing under the various points and scoring criteria. 

RUGBY

One of Leinster's legends looks set to be given the job as head coach of the province, as they look to fill the vacancy in advance of the new season.

Peter O'Reilly of The Sunday Times reports that former Leinster captain Leo Cullen will take over from Matt O'Connor, who was let go by the province in May, and Cullen has been approached already with a two or three-year contract on offer.

Cullen retired recently from playing and was installed as forwards coach under O'Connor, but would face a rocky start to his career as head coach should he take the position. With the World Cup around the corner, he would be without most of the province's best players, and they will also have to find a suitable replacement for Kane Douglas, who was released from his contract earlier this week. 

FORMULA 1

It was all shocks today at the Hungarian Grand Prix, with Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel claiming top spot.

He was joined on the podium by Daniil Kvyat in second and Daniel Ricciardo in third.

Lewis Hamilton had an afternoon to forget, finishing 6th and missing his chance to substantially extend his lead at the top of the driver's standings before the summer break.
