Ger Brennan hails Louth goalkeeper Niall McDonnell for heroics in win over Down after nightmare showing against Cavan

LOUTH manager Ger Brennan hailed keeper Niall McDonnell after their nail-biting win in Drogheda.

A couple of howlers by McDonnell cost Louth against Cavan last week but he more than made amends.

Brennan said: “Credit to Niall, he really stood up. Some wonderful saves, wonderful play when he came out the field and kickouts as well.

“He worked hard to cut out the mistakes from last week. That’s the strength of the man, he didn’t shy away from it.”

McDonnell’s save from Conor McCrickard and a poacher’s goal from Ryan Burns took the wind out of Down’s sails.

It kept Louth within two points at the break and boss Conor Laverty said: “We needed more of a cushion as the breeze was significant.”

Points from Sam Mulroy and Kieran McArdle’s goal saw Louth edge it.

KSI reveals private message he sent to Wayne Bridge after controversial John Terry joke led to collapse of fight

KSI revealed he apologised to Wayne Bridge for making an insensitive remark about the ex-footballer’s infamous feud with John Terry.

The YouTube sensation and former Premier League winner with Chelsea were set for a shock March 29 fight in Manchester.

But after announcing the pay-per-view clash in January – KSI brought up Bridge’s controversial past with former Chelsea team-mate Terry.

Terry allegedly had an affair with Bridge’s ex-partner Vanessa Perroncel in 2009 – something both have always denied.

And after KSI referenced the alleged affair – Bridge pulled out of the fight just days later.

KSI explained that he was playing the bad-guy role to help sell PPVs – and sent Bridge a message of apology.

He said on his podcast: “I privately DM’d him. And the thing is, I messaged him like, ‘Bro, I’m not a d*** head…’

“But we’re selling the fight and I thought he should know that.”

KSI added: “Wayne Bridge, I’m sorry. I’ve told you in DMs anyway but yeah, my bad.”

Bridge has an 18-year-old son with ex-Vanessa and withdraw himself from the fight with KSI to avoid any further verbal warfare.

It came after KSI said: “Wayne Bridge, aren’t you the guy that let John Terry smash your ex? “That is what you are known for.”

He then sung a crude chant about former model Vanessa – who has always denied ever having an affair with Bridge’s former team-mate Terry.

KSI, 31, will now fight replacement Dillon Danis, also 31, at Misfits 21 at the AO Arena.

The social media star has not fought since losing to Tommy Fury, 25, in October 2023 which was the first defeat of his career.

Danis meanwhile lost his boxing debut to Logan Paul, 29, on the undercard that night.

He was meant to fight KSI in January 2023 but pulled out – fuelling the bad blood between them.

Brit found dead in Costa del Sol marina after Spanish cops pull lifeless body from water ‘where he owned boat’

A BRITISH man has been found dead in the water at a Costa del Sol marina.

Emergency responders could not save the man, said to be aged around 60, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Civil Guard officers are probing the circumstances surrounding the Brit’s death.

It is believed the man, who was fully-clothed, owned a boat in the marina.

Well-placed sources said there were no obvious signs of any injuries pointing to a crime having taken place.

But a post-mortem that could reveal more details is due to take place.

A spokesman for the force said: “I can confirm the dead man is British.

“The death is still being investigated but at this stage everything is pointing to it being an accident.”

A spokesman for a regional government-run emergency response coordination centre said late yesterday: “The emergency services have recovered the lifeless body of a man found in the water at La Duquesa port in the municipality of Manilva.

“The alarm was raised just before 4.30am on Sunday.

“Local police, Civil Guard and firefighters were among the emergency responders mobilised.

“The man was pronounced dead at the scene.

In January a British man’s body was found floating in the water at a marina in Calpe north of Benidorm following a suspected accident.

He was described at the time as a 53-year-old who had moored a boat he lived on in the pleasure port after arriving from the nearby town of Altea.

A spokesman for the Civil Guard in Alicante said at the time: “I can confirm we have recovered the body of a 53-year-old British man from the water at Calpe port.

“We were informed by an emergency response coordination centre around 9.40am yesterday and mobilised specialist divers from our GEAS unit.

“There was nothing we could do to save him. He was already dead by the time police divers reached him.”

La Duquesa port is between Sotogrande to the west and Estepona to the east, filled with bars and restaurants.
