NETBALL: Following the campaigning work of Kaitlin Lawrence, who collapsed before a second-tier game in 2023, all Super League players will face mandatory cardiac screening before the 2026 season. 

England’s current international squad and Future Roses development players are already tested. 

On average, 12 seemingly fit people aged 35 and under die suddenly in the UK every week from an undiagnosed heart condition. 

MEN’S BASKETBALL: Detroit Pistons won 112-105 at Boston Celtics on Tuesday morning to remain top of the Eastern Conference, while Toronto moved up to third with a 106-96 success in Miami. 

In the west, Dallas lost 140-133 in Utah after overtime, Memphis Grizzlies eased to a 121-103 victory at the struggling LA Clippers and Nikola Jokic scored 39 points as Denver needed overtime to edge past Houston 128-125.

WOMEN’S FOOTBALL: The last round of Champions League phase matches kick off Wednesday night, with all four automatic quarter-final positions up for grabs. 

Barcelona and Lyon need a point from their games with Paris FC and Athletic Madrid to reach the last eight, while Chelsea could need a win at Wolfsburg to join them. 

Holders Arsenal are assured a play-off spot but can make the top four with a win in Leuven and favourable results elsewhere.

HORSE RACING: Galway-born Rossa Ryan, who steered Bluestocking to victory in last year’s Arc de Triomphe, rode a 215/1 four-timer at Lingfield on Monday afternoon. 

His efforts were somewhat over-shadowed by three-year-old It’s Bobsled Time romping home in the Navan 12.50 at 250/1, the third-highest-odds winner ever on an Irish racecourse. 

It was also trainer Richard Morrissey’s first success in professional racing since 2013.
