Why beating Hibernians next week is so important for Shamrock Rovers. Beat Hibs and need to win one tie from three to make a group stage. Lose and need to win three ties in a row for a group stage.

Sporting bodies need to get the cabinet to attend a game. If mass is okay because of guidelines, they should see how strict clubs (LOI anyway) are about doing things right.

Shamrock Rovers confirmed as champions. Unbeaten to date, have dropped just four points, have scored the most goals, conceded the fewest, and kept the most clean sheets. An 18-game season should be close-run thing, but Rovers were too good.

The last Ireland Under-17 squad to reach the last eight had just two players playing at home (a decent squad too with Collins, Knight, Idah, and Parrott). Brexit means this squad has just two players not playing in Ireland. Politicians take note.
