If you haven’t been following the top-flight of domestic football this season, well, you’ve been missing out. Two big matches are scheduled to be show on RTÉ this week – with Derry City hosting Shamrock Rovers on Monday evening, before Bohs visit Tallaght Stadium on Friday. It’s early in the season, of course, but these two clashes – featuring the top three teams in the Premier Division table – have the potential to make a big impact on the title race.
The 2023 Giro begins next Saturday in the small coastal town of Ortona, before, after winding its way around Italy for three weeks, finishing just a couple of hundred kilometres from where it began, in Rome on May 28th. Belgian Remco Evenepoel, who won last year’s Vuelta a España, and Slovenian Primoz Roglic, who took the previous three Vueltas, will start as favourites to claim the Giro d’Italia crown. Also at the start-line, hopefully, will be Irish riders Ben Healy and Eddie Dunbar.
