GAELIC GAMES

Mickey Harte is going to become the new manager of the Derry senior footballers.

Derry are the current Ulster champions and reached the All Ireland semi final this year.

Coach Gavin Devlin is expected to move to Derry with Harte following Ciaran Meenagh's departure.

The Champions League group stage kicks off tonight.

Jenni Hermoso claims the Spanish football federation's demonstrating a "strategy of division and manipulation" by calling up Women's World Cup winners who've said they're on strike.

She was the player kissed by Luis Rubiales, who's since resigned as its president.

Hermoso - who was not included in the latest squad - says it's clear "nothing has changed" because a boycott's been ignored.

She says they'll continue "fighting" the federation.
