The final was the showpiece match of English football's primary cup competition, the Football Association Challenge Cup (FA Cup), organised by the Football Association. Sheffield United won the game with a single goal.Both teams entered the competition in the first round and progressed through five stages to reach the final. Sheffield United conceded only two goals en route to the final, both in a 3–2 victory over their local rivals The Wednesday in the second round. Cardiff also conceded twice before the final, once in the fourth round and once in the semi-final. They struggled to overcome Third Division North side Darlington in the first round, needing two replays to progress. This was the second time a team from outside England had reached an FA Cup final. The first, Scottish side Queens Park, played in the 1885 final. It was also the first time a Welsh team had reached the final of the competition.Nearly 92,000 spectators attended the final. The only goal of the game was scored by Sheffield United's Fred Tunstall after 30 minutes when he dispossessed Harry Wake on the edge of the Cardiff penalty area before shooting past goalkeeper Tom Farquharson. Cardiff were unable to respond and the match finished 1–0, giving Sheffield United their fourth FA Cup triumph. The match remains the last time Sheffield United have won the competition.

Over 20 years spent in dressing rooms, first as a professional player and then coach, Ivi went from underdog outsider to become a pillar of the global sports community challenging the status quo. At an elite level, Ivi has worked as a performance coach with three national teams: Ireland Women's Team, Brazil Women's Team and US Youth National Teams.She now focuses on both early career and seasoned coaches via International coach education programmes, grassroots projects and progressive frameworks that create better environments for everyone to thrive. Currently Ivi delivers coach education for the Football Association of Ireland via a grassroots programme supporting young female football players, and with FIFA and UEFA as a Technical Expert delivering workshops for teams around the world.Raised in Brazil, Ivi played professional football at Atletico Mineiro before continuing her scholarship-enabled education and athletics in the US where she transitioned into coaching. Her professional women's coaching career started with Orlando Pride in the US and then Brighton & Hove Albion in the the UK Women's Super League.While Ivi's specialisms run deep, her practice is future-facing and always exploring new learnings beyond the boundaries of sport. At a time when the long suppressed women' s game is transforming the sport worldwide, Ivi is an active changemaker shifting perceptions of high performance while establishing a new baseline for what's valuable, aspirational and acceptable.

Will the FAI's handling of high-profile issues like Healy's exit ultimately damage their plan to overhaul the sport in Ireland, and if so, does Irish football ever have any hope of fulfilling its potential?Gavin and Sinéad also discuss the media narrative around Ireland's Six Nations game against Wales.

The father and stepmother of 10-year-old Sara Sharif have been found guilty of her murder after subjecting her to "horrific suffering" for more than two years. Sara Sharif was described by her headteacher as a much loved pupil, a cheerful little soul who would sing to anyone who would listen. But the authorities failed to realise that she was being tortured by her father, Urfan Sharif, and suffered what the court heard was a daily living hell. Anita Rani talks to Dame Rachel de Souza, the Children's Commissioner for England and Wales, and Aisha Gill, Professor of Criminology at Bristol University, about why 15 opportunities to save Sara were missed.IVF is one of the great medical breakthroughs of the 20th century. Thanks to its invention, over 390,000 babies have been born in the UK since 1991. 70,000 of which used donor eggs, sperm, or embryos. Elaine Lee was one of the first women in the UK to donate her eggs. She tells Anita about the process then, and what it was like to be one of the first women to donate back in 1987.This morning it was announced that Baroness Sue Campbell will join England Netball as Chair of their Board. Previously she was credited with taking women's football from niche to mainstream.

In 2026, Michigan State University will play a major role in one of the biggest sporting events in the world by teaming up with The Fédération Internationale de Football Association, or FIFA.   The FIFA World Cup 26 tournament will be held from June 8 to July 3. MSU will be supplying the turfgrass that will be installed in 16 cities spread across the United States, Canada and Mexico (involving different climates and elevations) for 104 game play matches.  For over 70 years, MSU's world-renowned turfgrass program, housed in MSU's College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, has been a leader in turfgrass research. The portable turfgrass system that John “Trey” Rogers, professor of turfgrass research at MSU, and his team developed for the 1994 World Cup games proved that turfgrass could be grown indoors and be installed and removed from a venue. This system has become the industry standard for using turfgrass in stadiums across the country and around the world.  Rogers is partnering with John Sorochan, a Distinguished Professor of Turfgrass Science and Management at the University of Tennessee. Sorochan was a graduate student of Rogers' and worked on the World Cup project in 1994. Now, Rogers and Sorochan are co-principal investigators for the 2026 competition.  Conversation Highlights: (0:59) – Trey, how long have you been at MSU, and what first attracted you here? (1:32) – John, what first attracted you to MSU? (1:59) – Talk about the history and evolving mission of MSU's turfgrass program. (3:40) – What makes MSU's turfgrass program so good, and what are some of the program's research strengths? (7:55) – Talk about the 2026 project and how it compares to the 1994 project. (13:32) – What are some of the challenges in growing grass in these different regions of North America? (15:50) – What happens between now and 2026? (18:09) – The students working on the project are getting an incredible experience.(20:40) – What are some of the ways you test the grass?

In his piece for the Irish Times earlier this week, CEO of Ibec Danny McCoy wrote about the ‘generational opportunity' the next government will have to transform the country. Speaking with host Ciarán Hancock on this week's episode of Inside Business, he explained how the key areas of infrastructure, education and energy strategy are central to maintaining a competitive economy here.And in terms of the funding needed to address those three areas, McCoy warned against a long-term reliance on the current corporate tax bonanza, he instead suggested more taxation on the individual, a move he knows would be politically unpopular. And what about the €13 billion of Apple tax? Ibec's chief suggested that Ireland could take the noble step of giving it to poorer countries who really need it.Also on this episode, Irish Times Soccer Correspondent Gavin Cummiskey on the continuing financial struggles of the Football Association of Ireland as it finds itself still tens of millions in debt. Where does it leave League of Ireland clubs and emerging talent in a week where Dundalk FC had a near-death experience?Produced by John Casey with JJ Vernon on sound. Hosted on Acast.
