Sunday Sport: Donegal prove too much for Kerry while Mayo beat Dublin

GAA

Donegal have joined Mayo at the top of the table.

They had too much for Kerry, coming out on top by 1-22 to 1-18 in a repeat of the 2025 All Ireland final.

The Kingdom were without David Clifford this afternoon.

Meanwhile, Mayo have made it two from two under new boss Andy Moran.

They picked up their second Division 1 win in a row with a 1-18 to 2-9 victory at home to Dublin today.

Darragh Beirne's goal helped them on their way at McHale Park.

Roscommon have beaten Monaghan by 3-16 to 1-16 to get their first win of the season.

In Division 2, Cork remain unbeaten after they eased to a 1-17 to 1-12 victory over Louth.

The action is underway at Kingspan Breffni Park where Cavan are entertaining Meath.

 

Meanwhile, Armagh boss Kieran McGeeney has said that he trusts his players to make the right decisions in the heat of battle.

His side suffered a one-point loss to Galway in Division 1 of the National Football League yesterday.

Critics have hit out at the Orchard County's preference for handpassing the ball over the bar instead of going for goal.

However, McGeeney has said that the players have to make their own minds up when the time comes.

There were also wins yesterday for Derry, Kildare, Down, Wexford and Carlow.

Kevin Schade was sent off in the first half.

Later this evening, Manchester City have the chance to close the gap at the top when they travel to Tottenham for the 4.30pm kick-off.

Tennis

Carlos Alcaraz has completed a career Grand Slam, becoming the youngest man to do so after beating Novak Djokovic in the Australian Open final.

The 22-year-old recovered from losing the opening set to win 2–6, 6–2, 6–3, 7–5, claiming his first title in Melbourne and denying Djokovic a record 25th major.

It is Alcaraz’s fourth different Grand Slam triumph, which seals his place among the game’s greats.
