Rampant England smash Swedes to reach Euros final
England are through to their first major final since 2009 after the Euro 2022 hosts powered past Sweden with a 4-0 victory at Bramall Lane. Following a shaky start for the hosts in which Sweden's Stina Blackstenius hit the bar, Beth Mead, already leading the race for the Golden Boot, put Sarina Wiegman's side ahead with a 34th-minute strike that took her to six goals for the tournament. Mead then turned provider early in the opening moments of the second half, delivering a corner that was headed in by Lucy Bronze, before substitute Alessia Russo notched her fourth goal of these finals with a delightful back-heeled effort in the 68th minute.

Weld-trained Tahiyra takes Fillies Maiden in Galway
Dermot Weld expects the beautifully-bred Tahiyra to go on to bigger and better things after making a sparkling debut on day two of the Galway Festival. The master of Rosewell House has made Ballybrit his own over the years and this daughter of Siyouni was sent off at 7-2 to make a successful start to her career in the Colm Quinn BMW Irish EBF Fillies Maiden. The two-year-old is a half-sister to the trainer's brilliant racemare Tarnawa, who finished third in the same race on her introduction in 2018 before going on to win three Group Ones and take second in last year's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. It might be a little early to suggest Tahiyra can scale those heights, but she certainly looks to have inherited a good portion of her sibling's ability judged on her six-and-a-half-length romp under Chris Hayes, prompting Paddy Power to give her a 20-1 quote for next year's 1000 Guineas.
