Monaghan's McKenna brothers, Stevie and Aaron, are back in the ring next Saturday to extend their unbeaten run in the professional boxing ranks.

Today they spoke to Caradh today on iRadio's iScore

Stevie McKenna is gearing up for his tenth professional win in a row next Saturday.

"I always go out to entertain, and I'm looking to make it ten out of ten next week" he said.

His younger brother Aaron fights for the WBC Youth Middleweight Title when he takes on Edem Bika of Ghana at the Coventry Skydome Arena.

A title which has been won by Canelo Alvarez in the past, Aaron said Canelo "is one of the best fighters in the world and will probably go down as one of the greatest."

"That's why I want to fight him in a couple of years, because in this game you have to beat the best to become the best and that's who I want to be fighting".

Follow updates on the lads' bouts on iScore with Caradh next Saturday and Sunday from 4pm.

iScore has the lowdown on the big year the league has had.

The Women's National League is the top-level league for women's association football in the Republic of Ireland.

The league will wrap up next weekend after a competitive eight months.

They chatted about her return to the team and the improvements she has seen for the team and the league in general.

Starr said she has noticed big strides for the league especially in terms of exposure.

The US-born footballer has said that she's delighted women's football is getting a bigger push on social media and more efforts to increase supporter attendance at matches.

"You can definitely tell the strides that the club and the league as a whole are trying to make, with exposure and getting people to games and promoting it on social media," Starr said.

Starr also commented on the recent appointment of Ruth Fahy as CEO for Galway WFC.

Fahy became the first female CEO in the Women's National League.

Starr said, "I think it's huge. It's a step in the right direction for women's football in general and the club."

Starr is optimistic about Galway's chances next season but has also said the league itself is getting better.

"I think the league is only getting better, more competitive," Starr said.

Gareth talks about how the lack of transparency makes it difficult to determine whether or not significant reforms have been made in the FAI.

He also talked about the media's role in scrutinising the FAI and their governance as well as Sport Ireland's role in the matter.
