GAELIC GAMES

Kildare Ladies Senior Football Manager, Sean Finnegan, last night announced he will be leaving his post.

He will now join new Mayo Senior Football manager, Kevin Mc Stay's backroom staff.

In a statement, Finnegan noted the difficulty he had coming to the decision, but "as a passionate Mayo man" he had "always wanted to become involved" with his own county - an opportunity he notes he could not pass up.

Seamus Coleman could be set to feature for Everton for the first time this season against Fleetwood Town.

Adam Idah - who has been out of action for six months with a knee injury - is likely to be part of the Norwich squad against Bournemouth.

There are a total of 21 fixtures down for decision this evening.
