Boxing
John Joe Nevin (below) has moved to number one in the updated World rankings published by the International Boxing Association (AIBA) yesterday. The London 2012 silver medalist picked up 800 rankings points by virtue of winning gold at the European Championships in Belarus last month. The points see the Cavan BC bantamweight leapfrog Cuba's Jorge Alvarez-Estrada, who he beat in the 2012 Olympic semi-final, into pole position.
Nevin's elevation means that Ireland now has two boxers ranked number one in the world for the first time as Katie Taylor has occupied top spot for the last seven years.
Taylor is currently in the Hungary with the Ireland ladies' squad.
The Bray woman, the current Olympic, World, European, EU and Irish champion, will go into 2014 as World number one for her eighth year in succession as there are no ranking tournaments for women in 2013. Paddy Barnes, who won silver in Belarus, is upgraded to third - equal on points with Thailand's Kaeo Pongprayoo, who is in number two spot in the light-fly class in the updated rankings.
Michael Conlan, also a silver medalist in Belarus, remains third, while Jason Quigley, a gold medalist in Belarus, is included in the world rankings for the first time. Quigley comes in in joint-seventh spot with Uzbek middleweight Shurat Abdullaev.
World number one Ievegen Hyytrov of the Ukraine, Romania's Bogdan Jurantoni and Germany's Stefan Haertel - all of whom Quigley beat in Belarus - are ranked higher than the Donegal man.
Cricket
Shane Watson scored a dominant century as Darren Lehmann's first selection call in charge of Australia paid immediate dividends at Worcestershire.
Lehmann confirmed before this final Ashes warm-up that Watson and Chris Rogers would form a new opening partnership in the first Test against England on July 10.
And the pair enjoyed their first outing together, putting on 170 for the first wicket, Watson leading the way with 109 in 111 balls for a first international century since 2010.
