The Brits take over Frankfurt
We are heading for an all-British final in the World Cup of Darts.
Northern Ireland face Wales in the biggest game possible.
After their demolition of Germany in the semis, the Irish will feel this is their trophy to lose.

The Iceman cometh for dragons
It was by no means his best darts in that semi-final but Gerwyn Price stood up to be counted when it mattered most.
After getting into the lead for the first time in the match to make it 6-5, Wales went for the kill and stunned the Dutch.
Finishing the final leg wit tops/tops is just pure Price, not many players would have the minerals to go for it with the stakes so high.
He let out his famous roar as he and Clayton celebrated, knowing they dodged a bullet in this one.
Weirdly, they can probably take more from that win than if they whitewashed Netherlands.
They showed their grit, came from behind, and booked their place in the World Cup of Darts final.

Hosts bombed out of tournament
Josh Rock and Daryl Gurney showed nothing phases them today.
They stepped up in front of a German crowd and battered the hosts in a one-sided semi-final.
It was the perfect tactics, silencing the crowds early on and by the time the last dart went into a double, you could hear a pin drop in Frankfurt.

Kerry Condon reveals bizarre breakfast choice ahead of romantic scenes with Brad Pitt
Irish actress Kerry Condon has lifted the lid on a surprising behind-the-scenes moment from the set of her highly anticipated F1 film — and it involves a rather unusual breakfast choice. Speaking in a recent interview, the Banshees of Inisherin star revealed the quirky morning routine she adopted while working alongside Hollywood star Brad Pitt. The film sees Pitt star as main protagonist Sonny Hayes, a veteran racing driver staging a thrilling Formula 1 comeback. The film was made under the heavy influence of producer Lewis Hamilton, who is a seven-time F1 world champion.

Pic: Warner Bros/Apple Condon plays Kate, an employee of the F1 team that Hayes rejoins, with the trailer teasing potential intimacy between Pitt and Condon's characters. Discussing the more heated scenes during a recent appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, she revealed: 'They scheduled it for half eight on a Thursday morning. 'I was like, 'Ah, come on.' So I had a vodka orange juice for my breakfast that morning. The film sees Pitt star as main protagonist Sonny Hayes, a veteran racing driver staging a thrilling Formula 1 comeback.

Speaking during a press event at UK race track Goodwood, she joked: 'He's been in the business so long and he's worked with some amazing people, I just wanted to be in his top ten co-stars. That was my aim.' 'Working with Damson Idris was fun, she added. He's like a child, he has so much energy.'

Rory McIlroy still in contention despite slipping down Travelers leaderboard
Rory McIlroy remains in contention at the Travelers Championship despite a one-over par 71 second round on Friday. The Holywood man began the day two shots off the lead after an opening round 64. But he dropped three shots in his opening four holes before a bogey on the seventh came after a birdie on the sixth. Birdies followed on the tenth, 13th, and 15th holes. However, he dropped another shot on the 18th. The world number two trails leaders Scottie Scheffler, Justin Thomas and Tommy Fleetwood by four shots at the midway stage. Fleetwood said he is pleased with the way he bounced back from his US Open disappointment after firing himself into contention for his first PGA Tour win at the Travelers Championship. The English golfer lit up TPC River Highlands with a sizzling performance in the final four holes, which saw him notch two eagles and a birdie, narrowly missing another on the last hole. A stellar round of 65 elevated Fleetwood to the top of the leaderboard, with world number one and defending champions Scheffler and two-time major winner Thomas. Despite Fleetwood's golfing drought having stretched for nearly one and a half years, this season has seen him secure four top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour, though he stumbled last week with his first missed cut at Oakmont. While reflecting on his recent challenges and his rebound, Fleetwood told Sky Sports: "You do quite a lot of sulking and then look at what you can do to improve. Very disappointed last week". "I've been having a good season and I felt like my game was in a really good place going into last week. "For whatever reason – I'll never understand the game – I played really poor but in golf there is always another week and this week is a big week. "I came out motivated to take whatever there is to learn to make you better for the coming weeks and so far this week I'm happy with how I bounced back." Fleetwood's round was going nowhere with one birdie and one bogey through 12 holes until he hit a superb 261-yard approach to the par-five 13th and holed his nine-footer for eagle. He then chipped in from the front of the drivable 299-yard 15th for eagle and picked up another shot after hitting his tee shot to 12ft at the next. At the last he managed only a 205-yard drive after his ball caught a tree but drilled a nine-wood to 11ft from 226 yards but could not close out with a birdie. "I would have loved to have holed the putt but I'd take four after that tee shot," added Fleetwood, for whom the £2.6million first prize would boost his Ryder Cup prospects as he currently sits a place out of the top-six automatic qualifiers.

Aidan O'Brien's true colours clear as Royal Ascot jockey speaks out on trainer
Royal Ascot jockey Sean Levey has opened up about Aidan O'Brien, admitting that the Irish trainer is just as kind and diligent as one would expect behind the scenes. Having taken the National Hunt game by the horns, O'Brien was asked by Fermoy-born business magnate John Magnier to train at Ballydoyle, and the rest is history. The 55-year-old has won essentially all there is to win on the flat and has established himself as an impervious all-time great. O'Brien's record at the Royal meeting is as jaw-dropping as expected, and a battalion is sent over to Berkshire year-on-year in a bid for Group 1 glory. Aboard the majority of these charges is Ballydoyle's retained jockey Ryan Moore; however, such a large operation often sees rides crop up. Levey, who moved to Ireland as a teenager, began riding out for O'Brien in his youth. He was an apprentice under the trainer before heading to England and taking up a role at Richard Hannon's stable. The 37-year-old has produced winners for O'Brien on many occasions, though, most notably guiding Galileo colt Jan Brueghel to the St. Leger in 2024. Therefore, Levey is well-acquainted with the icon and has revealed that his industrious work is reflected in his honourable character. "I was an apprentice there [at Ballydoyle] for a few years before I moved here [to England]. It had a massive impact," said Ladbrokes ambassador Levey. "Because I obviously served an apprenticeship under him for a good few years. So it was… My initial standpoint was under Aidan, so you'd imagine he had a massive influence on a lot of the things I do now. He's a very, very kind man. The kind of man who does right by everyone. "He's also very meticulous. I think his love for the sport kind of shines through in how he presented himself and how he's navigated training a multitude of very, very good horses. I mean, his record kind of speaks for itself, and there's not much I can really add to his CV!" Over the course of a glittering career, it is not only the Ballydoyle dynasty that Levey has had the privilege of riding for, but the royal blue of the Maktoum family's stable, Godolphin. The globe-trotting stable was founded in 1992, and enlists the help of a handful of British trainers, namely Charlie Appleby and Saeed bin Suroor, to front their operation out of HQ. Levey has ridden in the iconic silks on occasion and believes both Ballydoyle and Godolphin's experience and rigorousness have allowed them to remain at the top for so long. "I think I've only ever picked up rides for Saeed [bin Suroor]. Been placed in a couple of listed races, and I've won a couple of listed races. I also rode a listed winner for Richard [Hannon] with a two-year-old that he had trained for Godolphin, so I've had the privilege of wearing the blue colours, and having winners in them," added Levey. "They're a firm that have their team. I've just been lucky on occasion that the opportunity sort of presented itself, and I was put forward. They're a very good team with very good soldiers to boot. Their record kind of speaks for itself. "Godolphin are... I think they've both been in the game a long, long time. They've been breeding very good horses for a long time, and they don't leave any stone unturned, the same as Aidan doesn't leave any stone unturned, and as a result, they're extremely competitive at the top level."
