Saturday Sport: Next weekend's Premier League games in doubt, BMW PGA Championship resumes

There is doubt over whether next weekend's Premier League games will be able to go ahead, due to concerns about being able to stage them safely.

Police officers from England are likely to be redeployed to London ahead of Queen Elizabeth II's funeral, which would result in a shortage of officers to work at fixtures.

Games in the Premier League and English Football League were already postponed this weekend and the cancellation of more matches would add to an already congested season due to the World Cup.

The meeting of last season’s top two is the standout among today’s Women’s National League fixtures.

Current leaders Shelbourne welcome Peamount to Tolka Park.

With that one kicking off at 7.35pm, Wexford Youths can go top for a couple of hours with a win at home to Cork City.

Kick off at Ferrycarrig Park is at 6pm.

There is also a Connacht derby first up with Sligo Rovers against Galway at 2pm.

At 4pm, DLR Waves play Athlone, and Bohemians go to Treaty United an hour later.

Shane Lowry and Rory McIlroy are back out for their second rounds at the BMW PGA Championship.

McIlroy has teed off from four-under-par at Wentworth with Lowry resuming from six-under.

Graeme McDowell is one over after three holes today to leave him level par all round while Jonathan Caldwell is on three over par.

Soren Kjeldsen leads on 12-under-par and has a one shot advantage over Viktor Hovland at the top of the leaderboard.

The tournament has been reduced to 54 holes following yesterday’s postponement, and play will wrap up on Monday.
