It has also been reported that homes across the country are waking up to much warmer weather following a number of nights of minus figures.

Alan O’Reilly from Carlow Weather said: “A lovely sunrise here in the sunny Southeast at Wexford as that cloud moves East temperatures range from 1C in East to 11C in West.

“Some patchy drizzle today but dryer further East.”

While there will be a good share of dry conditions over the long weekend, rainfall is expected overnight in some parts.

Brandon Creagh from Met Eireann added that rain is expected to hit parts of the south and west today, with north Leinster and east Ulster remaining dry.

He said: “While it’s a fairly changeable weekend in store with cloudy conditions today and scattered patches of light rain and drizzle.

“There will be some dry weather across north Leinster and east Ulster, and feeling breezy with moderate to fresh southerly winds turning strong at times near Atlantic coasts, highs today of about 9C to 12C.”

Tonight will see rainfall develop early from the west before quickly moving across the country.

He added: “Overnight, a band of rain will push in from the Atlantic early on tonight, gradually extending eastwards across the country.

“A clearance following from the western half of the country before dawn on Sunday with lowest temperatures of 2C to 6C.”

Tomorrow is set to see any of that rain or drizzle clear early on from the east, but remaining in other parts of the country.

Brandon said: “Into tomorrow’s Sunday, that rain and drizzle in eastern areas will clear early on to leave a largely dry and bright day across the country.

“Good spells of hazy sunshine tomorrow but it will become more overcast in the northwest later on in the day with highest temperatures of 7C to 10C in a moderate to fresh southwest wind.”

As the Bank Holiday Monday rolls around, there is some more “changeable” weather in play.

Bank Holiday Monday will see outbreaks of rain to come in, with the remainder of the week looking to improve as the days go by.

There will be outbreaks of rain from the Atlantic which will mainly impact the west and northwest, with dry weather elsewhere.

Brandon said: “Looking ahead then to the rest of the week, some changeable weather on the way with rain and showers at times, but also plenty of dry weather too.”

Charlene Tyrrell hit snooze button on retirement as she’s still living the dream as Leitrim enter senior level

CHARLENE TYRRELL has hit the snooze button on her retirement — because she is still living the dream.

The Leitrim defender and DFI Beds ambassador tossed and turned over her future during the winter break.

But after a rest, the prospect of playing TG4 All-Ireland senior football has left her feeling bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.

Tyrrell made her debut in 2003 and started in the final when her county won an intermediate crown four years later.

But circumstances dictated that she did not get a taste of senior action and she would spend nearly a decade away from the game before a 2020 comeback.

In August, she was once more a titan at the back as Jonny Garrity’s Leitrim triumphed in another intermediate final — this time against Tyrone — at the age of 38.

Tyrrell said: “There was a period after all the celebrations and everything had settled down, and I sort of enjoyed not having anything to do.

“I had considered, ‘God, will I go back?’ but once I got back to training, the desire is there and the love is there.

“Mainly to get out of Division 4, first and foremost, but really excited to play senior Championship this year.

“It will be one competition at a time, but really excited to be playing against some of the best teams in the country and see how we fare.

“I haven’t played senior Championship with Leitrim, so it will be really exciting.

“We’re not in the senior Championship to just make up the numbers. We intend to compete and be serious competitors.

“Hopefully we can establish ourselves as a senior team and stay up in the senior ranks.

“By the time I retire, hopefully I’ll be leaving Leitrim in a better place. Leaving a nice little legacy behind.”

When Leitrim lost to Limerick in a Lidl NFL Division 4 semi-final back in March of last year, Tyrrell found herself coming up against Róisín Ambrose.

Fast-forward ten months and she is joining forces with the Treaty joint-captain — after the pair were lined up as ambassadors for the LGFA’s new sleep partner.

She grinned: “I actually wasn’t entirely sure what I was saying yes to! It’s great to be involved and represent Leitrim.

“It’s great coverage for us as well. It’s lovely to be involved and to be asked.

“I’ve only ever met Róisín on the pitch. I never met her off the field, so it’s lovely.

“That’s what football is all about too. It’s not just about playing on the field but it’s about making friends outside the football side of things and outside the county.

“It’s lovely, she’s a great girl. We had good fun now doing some of the photographs that you’ll see appear!”

WELCOME SUPPORT

Tyrrell, a sports therapist by day, has been kept busy in recent months with her role as a mental health facilitator for the Movember Ahead of the Game campaign that is jointly run by the GPA, GAA and Movember.

Given she has spoken so openly about her own personal struggles in the past, Tyrrell was delighted to get involved.

The Leitrim ace said: “I just go around to the clubs around Connacht, delivering mental health workshops to underage teams and parents and coaches as well.

“I only started that in September, so that’s lovely. I love doing that.

“It’s definitely something I wish I had when I was younger, because it wasn’t until I was in my early 20s and had my son [Noah] that I suffered myself with postnatal depression.

“Didn’t know even what it was at that age when it came on me.

“To give the kids the understanding of the signs and symptoms, and to reach out and to talk . . . I think it’s something that we get great feedback from the players and the coaches, that they’ve a better understanding that your mental health is your health.

“It’s not two separate things, your mental health and your physical health, it’s all one. It is vitally important.”

Leitrim lost their Division 4 opener to Fermanagh and need a top-four finish to reach the knockout round.

They face Derry at Kiltubrid tomorrow, with both sides determined to clinch a spot in the final and claim automatic promotion.

Tyrrell added: “Last year was completely heartbreaking. That will haunt me forever.

“Ourselves and Fermanagh flew through the group stages and topped the group.

“I’m not sure if a little bit of complacency set in, so we’re definitely a lot more focused this year.”

 LEITRIM’S Charlene Tyrell was speaking as DFI Beds were announced as ‘Official Sleep Partner of the LGFA’.

United beat Boro 3-1 in a third round League Cup tie, but the win was overshadowed by the injury wonderkid Rodrigo Possebon sustained.

The Brazilian midfielder, who was making his first start for the Red Devils, was on the receiving end of a horror tackle from Emmanuel Pogatetz.

He was sent off but it did little to calm down a furious Sir Alex.

Ferguson revealed after the game that “everyone was numb” in fear for Possebon.

And the legendary boss was fuming over Boro players pleading it was not a red card, saying: “It was an absolutely terrible tackle.

“What gets me about challenges like that is that the opponent always claims he has done nothing wrong.

“Pogatetz should have just walked off the field.

“You get their bench screaming that it wasn’t a sending off and there is nothing wrong with our player.

“At least Middlesbrough manager Gareth Southgate was very good about it. He apologised and understood the gravity.”

Possebon was fortunate to avoid a broken leg and Pogatetz also later apologised.

He said: “Firstly, I have to say that I went for the tackle because I thought I could win the ball. I now accept, however, that I misjudged the challenge.

“But now I that I have had the chance to see the tackle on television, I know the ref was right to send me off.

“I am going to speak to Rodrigo by telephone and I will apologise for hurting him. I hope that he will make a quick recovery and that he will not be out for long.”

Possebon went on to make eight appearances for Man Utd before returning to play in his homeland of Brazil.

He now works as a chief at Brazilian Serie A club Athletico Paranaense.
