After a resounding 1-0 victory against Norwegian side Viking FK, they have a golden opportunity to advance when they host Molde in the second leg of their qualifying tie at Tallaght Stadium. This European journey has been nothing short of a fairytale for the club, serving as a testament to the growing strength of the domestic league in Ireland.In the world of boxing, the highly anticipated rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol is set to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia this weekend.
