Rory Tallon tells us all about Team Ireland’s battle against the Welsh on their first-leg of the 2025 Euro playoff season.

“A cold wet evening kick-off in the Welsh capital of Cardiff, saw Ireland battle it out in their first-leg Euro 2025 playoff against a strong Welsh team. Ireland is looking to once again qualify off the back, of their 2023 World Cup campaign. Eileen Gleeson’s team kicked us off in their regular 4-3-3 formation which we’ve become very accustomed to. Arsenal’s captain and fan favourite Katie McCabe wore the armband for Ireland on Friday’s encounter.”

Dylan Clarkin tells us all about the NFL Thanksgiving game between the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Giants.

Chief Sports Editor Ross Flanagan tells us all about Dublin Rivals Bohemians and Shamrock Rovers announcement of their first fixture against each other for the 2025 season opening weekend.

“This event will mark the 110th anniversary of the first fixture of the historic rivalry that has brought us ferocious football for the past number of years. The teams have not met in a Cup Final since 1945, so this will be the biggest setting for the fixture in 80 years. The event is likely to attract crowds not seen to the league since the 1960s.”

Robert Curran tell us all about Italy’s win over Slovakia for the Billie Jean King Cup finals, which was held in Malaga a few weeks ago.

“The prestigious ‘Billie Jean King Cup’ has been in existence since 1963. Originally known as the Federation Cup, the tournament underwent a much welcomed rebrand in 2020, dedicating itself to a tennis trailblazer in Billie Jean King, the titular honouree who won the tournament a whopping ten times. The legend herself, there in attendance in sunny Malaga to witness the Italian team claim their fifth ‘BJK’ title as they stormed to a 2 – 0 victory under the roof at the Martin Carpena Arena.”

Deputy Chief Editor Leonor Selas Amaral gives us a detailed race report on the Formula One Qatar Grand Prix race, which occurred this Sunday.

“Max Verstappen put another win under his already victorious belt following a show stopping race in Qatar this Sunday. Having originally achieved pole position during qualifying on Saturday, Verstappen was quickly demoted to P2 after a penalty was handed later that evening. Despite this setback, Verstappen dominated the chaotic but exciting race on Sunday, which was sure to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.”

Deputy Chief Editor Leonor Selas Amaral tell us all about the upcoming DCU TV 24-Hour broadcast in aid of Focus Ireland.

“The broadcast is streamed live for the full 24 hours and is fully student-led. TV Managers Sam Kennedy and Sarah Duff have been working exceptionally hard this year to make this year’s broadcast one for the books: “We’re beyond thrilled for this year’s 24-Hour Broadcast; it’s a chance for everyone to see the amount of dedication, passion, and creativity everyone here at the Media Production Society has put into it. We’re going bigger and bolder this year, so we’re hoping we can get as many people involved and as many viewers as possible. Last year we had an amazing turnout, with almost €13,000 in donations and nearly 100 people involved in creating this Broadcast. The lineup of shows this year is really special, and is full of surprises. We honestly can’t wait for everyone to tune in and donate for Focus Ireland, because we really think we’ve created something special here. It’s not to be missed!””

The College View spoke to where spoke about her plans for young people while at DCU today. McDonald outlined her plans to solve the housing crisis “if and when” Sinn Féin enter the government.

“McDonald spent more than forty minutes speaking with students and the media outside the U building. The College View asked Ms McDonald about the quick turnaround from the election being called on 8th November to registration closing on 12th, blocking many young voters out. “In my mind, this is your election”, McDonald told The College View as she emphasised the important issues concerning young people that have formed a major part of every parties campaign.“
