Another Baar ridden by Oisin McSweeney wins the Virgin Bet Supports Safe Gambling Handicap at Goodwood Racecourse, September 2, 2025

MEN’S FOOTBALL: Ireland begin the year-long qualifying campaign for the European under-21 championships when they visit Moldova in Group D tomorrow evening. 

The Moldovans beat Andorra 3-0 in their opening game. 

Elsewhere tomorrow Finland meet San Marino in group A, the Faroe Islands face Iceland and Belarus host Belgium in Group I. Reigning champions England start their defence with a trip to Kazakhstan on Monday.

HORSE RACING: Five-year-old sprint specialist Another Baar won his second race in 24 hours after storming home by four lengths on heavy going at Tuesday’s Goodwood meeting. 

He had won at Brighton on good-to-firm ground the day before, improving his stunning recent record to four wins in the last 16 days. 

He has won or been placed in 20 of his 40 races and has career earnings of over £78,000.

MEN’S CRICKET: 34-year-old Tom Bruce, who played 17 international Twenty20 matches for New Zealand, is set to earn his second cap for Scotland when they face Namibia in tomorrow’s World Cup League Two qualifier at Ontario’s Maple Leaf North West ground. 

Bruce made his debut for the Scots in last week’s seven-wicket win over Canada, who also slipped to a 24-run defeat against Namibia on Tuesday evening.

MEN’S RUGBY LEAGUE: Attention focusses on the bottom of the Super League tonight as basement dwelling Salford look to follow up on last week’s surprise 25-12 win at Warrington when they welcome the out-of-form Catalans Dragons to Barton-upon-Irwell. 

Leeds will be without injured forward Cameron Smith when they visit third bottom Huddersfield in tomorrow evening’s other game.
