Kerry FC boss Colin Healy hoping to remain unbeaten at home as Bray's Seagulls land in Tralee
Healy confirmed that midfielder Carl Mujaguzi and versatile attacker Joe Adams are unlikely to be available to face Bray Wanderers Kerryman Nothing lasts forever, especially in sport, but Colin Healy will be hoping to keep his unbeaten run at Mounthawk Park going a little longer as Bray Wanderers come to the home of Kerry FC for this evening's First Division match – game 19 of a 36-game season. Since his appointment as first team manager, Healy has taken seven points from a possible nine at home – wins against Treaty United and Longford Town, and a draw with Wexford FC – but things get a little (or a lot) trickier this evening with the visit of the high-flying Seagulls. Bray Wanderers are currently sitting in third place in the division, just eight off leaders Dundalk FC, and 16 points clear of Kerry.

Super Wexford clay shooters hit the target with outstanding set of results at Leinster championship
Across two competitive days, Wexford's shooters captured both team and individual titles, reinforcing the county's reputation as a powerhouse in the sport. Saturday saw unsettled weather and testing conditions, but that didn't deter the Wexford Senior team, who were crowned Leinster champions with an impressive team score of 470 x 500. They finished ahead of Westmeath (457) and Meath (452) on a cleverly designed eight-stand course that featured new wooded sections and a raised platform. Individual highlights included: Seán Rigley (Newbay CPC), High Gun with a perfect 50 x 50; Niamh Murphy (Ferns), ladies' champion; Angela Foley (Newbay CPC), third place, ladies' competition; Robert Civciss (Ballymoney), Under-21 champion and Trainee champion; Glenn Carley (Newbay CPC), second in Under-21 with a score of 43 x 50. Sunday brought much-improved weather and the spotlight turned to Wexford's county club team, Ballymoney, who qualified by winning the recent Wexford Clay league. The team shone brightly in the sun, posting 231 x 250 to retain their Leinster title. Notable scores included: Don McKay – 49 x 50, placing second overall; Callum Scanlon, winner of the Extreme Target competition. In individual events, Gerry Lynch delivered a strong performance to be crowned Super Veteran champion with a 44 x 50, competing in the dedicated Super Veterans category. Wexford also fielded solid teams in the Veteran, Super Veteran, and Side-by-Side events, showing consistent strength across the board. The weekend's results once again demonstrate the depth of shooting talent in Wexford. With five Wexford shooters selected to represent Ireland at the upcoming World English Sporting Championships, the county will have strong representation on the global stage. The World Championships take place from July 12–19 at the prestigious E.J. Churchill Shooting Grounds in the UK. Wexford shooters will go head-to-head with the world's best, in what promises to be a major opportunity for Irish talent to shine internationally. Local supporters can look forward to full coverage from the event. Before that, Wexford's attention turns to the NARGC All-Ireland Clay competition, taking place in Esker on June 28 and 29, where the county will aim to bring home even more silverware.
