Golf: Former winners Paul McGinley and Pádraig Harrington failed to spark in the World Golf Championships World Cup in Barbados. The pair finished on nine-under tied for 12th place, seven shots behind winners Germany.

Meanwhile Irishman Keith Nolan missed out on a USPGA Tour card when he finished outside the top 30, in 46th place, in the qualifying tournament during the week.

Soccer: Soon after resigning as manager of Shelbourne, Pat Fenlon took up the management post at Derry City, which was managerless after Stephen Kenny's move to Scottish club Dunfermline.

Snooker: Dubliner Ken Doherty eased into the third round of the Maplin UK Championships in York with a 9-1 win over Mike Dunn on Sunday. He faces Joe Perry in the last 16. Irish players Joe Swail and Graham Greene were both eliminated at the second round, by Stephen Maguire and Mark Williams respectively.
