NETBALL: Nottingham Forest travel to Loughborough Lightning tomorrow for the Super League minor semi-final. Loughborough finished 10 points above Forest in the regular season but the teams beat each other once with Forest only losing out by one point in their round-seven clash. The winners will go on to face either table-toppers Manchester or defending champions London Pulse in next week’s preliminary final.

MEN’S FOOTBALL: Belgium will face Italy in their first ever European under-17s final tomorrow evening in Tallinn after holding off France 2-1 in their last-four clash. The Italians, who needed penalties to edge past Spain after a 1-1 draw in their semi-final, won their second championship in 2024. Both teams were losing semi-finalists at last year’s competition. None of the British or Irish teams qualified for the tournament.

MEN’S RUGBY UNION: Defending champions and nine-time winners Leinster host Cape Town Stormers in Dublin tonight for their United Rugby Championship play-off semi-final. Glasgow, who claimed the title in 2024 and topped the table during this year’s regular season, will face Pretoria’s Bulls at Murrayfield in the other last four clash. The Bulls have finished as runners-up for three of the last four seasons.

MEN’S CRICKET: India have not selected Ravindra Jadeja, who has 348 test wickets, or Jasprit Bumrah, the world’s highest-rated bowler in five-day cricket, for their one-off Test match against Afghanistan which starts in New Chandigarh, Punjab on Saturday. The fixture is not part of the two-year-long World Test Championship and Afghanistan remain outside the international ranking system. The teams will also play a three-match one-day series.
