For the small fee of £115m, the Blues have agreed to sign Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo in a British record deal.
The fee means Chelsea will break the British record twice in 2023, following the £107m purchase of Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernandez in January.
What a midfield partnership that could be.
But what do you think of Chelsea’s latest piece of transfer business? Is Caicedo needed at Stamford Bridge? And is he worth spending that much money on?
Liverpool fans, how do you feel about missing out on the Ecuador midfielder?
Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi said he had “already forgotten” about Caicedo in his news conference before the Seagulls’ opening game against Luton.
“Bigger clubs can buy our players but they can’t buy our soul or spirit,” De Zerbi said.
Following his side’s 4-1 win, the Italian added: “He wants to leave.
“If Moises wants to leave then it is not on my focus. My focus is on my players and my work. What I can improve. If we win the next game, we will start very strong.”
Thrilling Comeback for Connacht as They Defeat Leinster in Vodafone Women’s Interprovincial Championship
In an exciting opening match of the Vodafone Women’s Interprovincial Championship, Connacht’s Shannon Touhey led her team to a remarkable comeback, erasing a nine-point deficit to secure an 18-17 victory against Leinster.
Strong Start for Connacht with Historic Win
Connacht’s campaign started on a high note at the Sportsground, marking only their second-ever Interpro win over Leinster. The impressive victory showcased the resilience and determination of the Connacht team.
Touhey’s Versatility and Fond Memories
Shannon Touhey, a Tullamore native, displayed her versatility by switching to number 8 during the second half, contributing to the team’s resurgence. The win also brought back fond memories of her Connacht debut in 2016, the last time they defeated Leinster.
Touhey, who earned her first Ireland cap against Japan in November 2021, expressed her satisfaction, stating, “It’s pretty surreal. We worked really hard in training. We have a lot of young girls coming through. We came out of the gates, raring. At that moment (when Méabh Deely scored the first try inside two minutes) I was like, ‘here we go, we have a game on our hands’. But at half-time, we hit our purple patch. One of our pillars is resilience, and we showed it on the day. We came back fighting and here we are.”
Challenges and Emerging Heroines
Despite missing regular captain Mary Healy, Mairead Coyne, Laura Feely, and Fiona Scally, all of whom have retired recently, a new-look Connacht team rose to the challenge. Emerging heroines at the Sportsground, especially 22-year-old Ballinasloe pair Méabh Deely and Aoibheann Reilly, made a significant impact.
Promising Returns and Dynamic Play
Scrum half Aoibheann Reilly made a triumphant return after recovering from a long spell out with an ACL injury – her defense-slashing break set up Deely’s opening try. With a great brand of rugby and new skipper Nicole Fowley leading the way, full-back Méabh Deely created opportunities for her team. She set up replacement Orla Dixon’s try, narrowing the gap to 17-13.
Late Drama and Celebrations
In the 81st minute, Connacht found space out wide once again, allowing Clara Barrett to burst past Jess Keating. Her neat offload back inside led to Deely completing her brace. However, they had to endure seven more minutes of injury time, including a Hannah O’Connor penalty miss, before the celebrations began.
Touhey praised the confidence brought by the squad’s younger players, stating, “I think it came from a lot of the young girls. They’ve been through the Under-20s program, they’re playing AIL with their clubs, they’re meeting these girls every week, so they knew exactly what they were up against. To be honest, they kind of dragged us on. They brought in that belief and that was it, like. We found it and we went with it. Home turf, that was the big thing. We weren’t going to be beaten here. We’ve another match next week. We need to come down, gather ourselves, and we’ll go again.”
Munster Dominates in Bonus Point Win Over Ulster
In another exciting match, Munster emerged as 41-14 bonus point winners over Ulster, with Waterford duo Ellen Boylan and Brianna Heylmann making their senior debuts and contributing with second-half tries.
Strong Performance by Ulster, But Munster Seals the Result
Murray Houston’s first game in charge of Ulster showcased a strong performance across the opening hour at City of Armagh RFC, with Maebh Clenaghan’s 55th-minute try reducing the arrears to 10 points. However, Niamh Briggs’ Munster side sealed the result through closing scores from replacements Boylan and Heylmann, and Vodafone player-of-the-match Stephanie Carroll, who completed her hat-trick late on.
Tightly Contested First Half
Munster held a 17-7 lead at the end of a tightly-contested first half, with Ella Durkan’s converted try briefly giving the hosts the lead in between two Carroll five-pointers. Clodagh O’Halloran crossed in the 36th minute to extend the visitors’ advantage.
Impact Off the Bench for Munster
The closing 40 minutes saw Deirbhile Nic a Bháird, a game changer during last season’s tournament, making the desired impact off the bench for seven-try Munster. The impressive performance demonstrated Munster’s depth and ability to capitalize on opportunities.
Gold Fleet Achievement for Dickson and Waddilove at Sailing World Championships
Tokyo 2020 Olympians Robert Dickson and Sean Waddilove secured a coveted spot in the Gold fleet finals at the Allianz Sailing World Championships in The Hague (The Netherlands).
Impressively, the Dublin crew, along with another Irish 49er skiff team, initially held race wins and high positions.
Unexpected Setback and very little luck
Unfortunately, both boats encountered an unexpected calm area on an otherwise windy day, slipping back in the fleet. Dickson and Waddilove finished the nine-race round in sixth overall, while the other Irish team, Guilfoyle and Durcan, placed 14th, missing the Gold fleet due to an early starting disqualification.
Comment from Irish Sailing
James O’Callaghan, Irish Sailing’s Performance Director, expressed satisfaction with the Gold fleet achievement, acknowledging the boat handling errors that affected the other team’s performance.
Focus on Next Round
A rest day is scheduled for the 49er skiffs on Monday, with the final round starting on Tuesday, leading to the medal race for the top ten boats on Friday. With limited qualification spots for Paris 2024, securing a place on Friday is crucial.
ILCA Classes Qualification
The ILCA classes started their qualification round with six races, where Rio 2016 Olympian Finn Lynch and Ewan McMahon made notable efforts.
Finn Lynch’s Performance
Finn Lynch had a solid day with a 12th and a fourth place, securing an overall eighth position.
Ewan McMahon’s Recovery
Ewan McMahon, despite a challenging start with a 40th place, managed to recover and finished in the 17th position.
Eve McMahon’s Efforts
Eve McMahon performed well with an eleventh-place finish in her ILCA6 opening race, but faced a setback with a Black Flag disqualification in the second race.

Hannah Tyrrell Shines with a Magical First-Half Performance
Dublin’s recent All-Ireland victory was fueled by Hannah Tyrrell’s stunning first-half play, contributing eight of their 11 points and showcasing her remarkable skill in front of a vibrant 45,326 fans.
Kerry, despite a valiant effort led by Louise Ni Mhuircheartaigh, couldn’t overcome a nine-point deficit, narrowing the gap to four points but ultimately falling short in the final.
Dublin’s New Generation and Impressive Performance
Dublin’s rejuvenated team, with emerging stars like Niamh Donlon and Niamh Crowley, secured their first senior medals in defense, complementing Tyrrell’s Player of the Match performance.
Dublin’s Redemption and Strategic Approach
After previous losses to Kerry this year, Dublin came into the final as favorites, displaying a near-flawless performance and demonstrating their determination to reclaim the title.
Tyrrell’s Unstoppable Journey
Hannah Tyrrell’s impactful return from rugby to Gaelic football was marked by a masterful display, scoring crucial points and assisting in critical plays throughout the match.
Dublin’s Dominance Maintained
Although the second half was less dominant for Dublin, their early lead provided them with a comfortable cushion, ultimately securing a well-deserved victory.
Kerry mounted a late comeback, with Ni Mhuircheartaigh’s goal adding suspense, but Tyrrell’s final play sealed the game for Dublin in the closing seconds.

Switzerland won the Aga Khan Trophy at the Dublin Horse Show this afternoon.
In an exceptional display by the pre-competition favourites and first-ever winners of the famous trophy in 1926, they produced two double clear rounds, and six clear rounds in total, as they ended the two-round Nations Cup on a zero score.
Last year’s winners, Ireland, who had been given a 20% win chance by Equiratings this morning, finished as runners-up on 12 faults in their attempt to successfully defend their title. The home nation has a total of three clear rounds during the class, and their anchor Shane Sweetnam and James Khan Cruz did not jump as it would not have changed their overall finishing position.
The 2018 winners Mexico took the final position on the podium on 16 faults, followed by France on 20, Belgium on 21, The Netherlands on 24, Spain on 28 and Britain on a final score of 57 faults.
Round One
Ireland ended the opening round of the Longines FEI Nations Cup with 8 faults, the same score as 27-time Aga Khan Trophy winners Britain, and France, with the favourites Switzerland – given a 25% win chance by Equiratings – holding a two-fence lead on a zero score.
Irish pathfinder and one of two Aga Khan Trophy debutants, Michael Duffy and Cinca had four faults at the water as did the second-line combination of the other first-timer on the Aga Khan team Mikey Pender and HHS Calais.
Cian O’Connor, the rider with most Aga Khan starts and podium finishes in the last 10 editions, and Eve d’Ouilly, were the third Irish combination into the Main Arena. They also had four faults, this time knocking a pole in the final part of the triple combination.
Kanturk’s Shane Sweetnam and the Irish Sport Horse James Kann Cruz brought Michael Blake’s side back into contention with a clear round in front of a packed and nervous crowd.
Switzerland achieved three clear rounds through Steve Guerdat (Venard de Cerisy), Martin Fuchs (Leone Jei) and Edouard Schmitz (Garmin Van’T Naastveldhof), meaning their four faults score from Bryan Balsiger and Chelsea Z became their discard score.

The water caused some problems during the opening round with a total of five combinations incurring faults there. The penultimate fence, the Telecom post boxes with a Liverpool underneath, saw nine participants knock a pole.
Britain and France joined Ireland in joint-second place at the end of the first round – with the three teams on 8 faults.
Belgium and Spain were next, a fence behind, with Mexico on 16 faults and The Netherlands bringing up the rear on 20 faults.

Round Two
The Swiss took up where they had ended the first round with each of their first three combinations all going clear. Steve Guerdat and Venard De Cerisy as well as Martin Fuchs and Leone JEI achieved exceptional double clear rounds, while second-line rider Bryan Balsiger and Chelsea Z, who faulted in the first round, went better at his second attempt.
With Fuchs’ second clear the Swiss were uncatchable, meaning their final-line rider Edouard Schmitz didn’t jump.
Course builder Alan Wade later described it as “poetry in motion watching them jump clear after clear.”
Michael Duffy and Cinca got Ireland off to the best possible start in the second round, going clear in 70.96 seconds. Mikey Pender and HHS Calais matched their four-fault first round, before Cian O’Connor riding Eve D’Ouilly produced a faultless round.
Shane Sweetnam and James Kann Cruz then withdrew as they were safe in the runners-up position, and unable to catch chef d’équipe Michel Sorg’s side.

“It’s very special to stand on the podium; it’s an amazing arena,” admitted Sorg. “It’s a dream of everybody to win this Aga Khan Trophy. It’s been a while.”

Kerry Aims for Glory in All-Ireland Senior Final, Dublin Seeks Sixth Title
As the stage is set for the All-Ireland Senior Ladies Football Final – Kerry v Dublin.
The Kingdom under the leadership of Declan Quill and Darragh Long, has a chance to secure a remarkable place in history by moving ahead on the all-time Senior roll of honours list.
With a current record of 11 All-Ireland Senior Championship victories, Kerry stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the legendary Cork teams that dominated from 2005 to 2016.
Dublin’s Pursuit of Excellence
Their formidable opponents, Dublin, are on a quest for their sixth title, building on their previous successes in 2010, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020.
Kerry’s Illustrious Past
This upcoming showdown marks Kerry’s 14th appearance in the All-Ireland Senior Final, having faced disappointment against Meath in the 2022 decider and a loss to Cork in 2012.
Kerry’s Historic Achievements
Kerry’s journey to greatness began with their first Senior title in 1976, followed by an awe-inspiring nine-in-a-row triumph from 1982 to 1990.
A Glimpse of Victory
Kerry’s last Senior Final victory dates back to 1993, when they emerged victorious against Laois.
Managers thoughts
Kerry will need to prove they’ve evolved in the last 12 months both in terms of their tactical nous and big-match mentality, and Long is confident that they have.
“I think we’re a more mature team this year,” he says. “There’s times, the Meath game for instance there a couple of weeks ago in Tralee, very bad evening weather-wise, huge wind, got a great lead up, played really well in the first half and we just had to show a different style in the second half and I think the characteristics that we showed and the composure that we showed on the ball, which we developed in the second half even more so against Mayo by tagging on the scores that we didn’t get in the Meath game.
“Watching back that game and seeing where we went wrong and being very honest about where we went wrong and trying to learn from it, that definitely helped us this year. I think our League campaign was close to being flawless which culminated in a superb performance here at headquarters against Galway.
“Have we hit the heights of that game since? We probably haven’t but, look, there’s still one game to go in the season.”

Starting Teams for Dublin v Kerry
Dublin ladies team to play Kerry in 2023 All Ireland final
Prediction for Dublin v Kerry
The loss of inspirational team captain Siofra O’Shea to injury is a big blow that many feel I feel tip the scales in Dublin’s favour
After battling past Scotland to reach the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, there was plenty of excitement about what the Republic of Ireland might achieve Down Under.
Two defeats and a draw saw Ireland finish bottom of Group A but much will have been learnt by head coach Vera Pauw and her side over the three games in Australia.
Ireland Proved A Tough Nut To Crack
Playing the hosts Australia in the opening game at Stadium Australia in Sydney was always going to be a daunting task for Ireland but the Girls in Green came away from the game with plenty of plaudits. Australia went on to finish top of Group A and are 7/1 in the football odds to win the tournament on their own patch. The Matildas, who are 5/1 in the Women’s World Cup odds to finish as runners-up, were made to work hard for their 1-0 win over Ireland. In the end, Steph Catley’s second-half penalty was the difference between the sides.
Ireland learnt the hard way that discipline at these major tournaments is key and Marissa Sheva’s push on Hayley Raso was punished with Catley’s well-taken penalty. Ireland were fearless against the Aussies going forward and came close on a few occasions to grabbing an equaliser. Megan Connolly, Katie McCabe and Louise Quinn all had chances and Ireland learnt again that taking opportunities is key. It was a game that might have gone another way but was one that showed Ireland would be no pushovers at this major tournament.
An Early Exit But Experience Key For Development
Ireland made the perfect start to their second game at Perth Rectangular Stadium against Canada, with McCabe finding the back of the net after just four minutes. Again the Irish might have been wondering what might have been as they just failed to keep Canada out before the break, with Megan Connolly scoring an own goal. That shifted the momentum in the game and Canada came out and got what proved to be the winner with Manchester United’s Adriana Leon scoring in the 53rd minute.
Two battling defeats in Australia and Ireland knew there was no hope of reaching the knockout stages, with only pride to play for in their final game against Nigeria at Lang Park in Brisbane. It was to prove to be a low-key affair and the match ended in a goalless stalemate with little in attack from either side during the contest. The game ended on a sour note with the suggestion McCabe had called on coach Pauw to make substitutions during the clash with Nigeria. While the future of Pauw is uncertain, Ireland can look back on their efforts in Australia with pride and even wonder what might have been if a few key moments had gone their way.
Fine margins are the very nature of what elite sport in major tournaments is about and Ireland’s women will be hoping to be back at a World Cup at the next opportunity in 2027.
