Women’s Challenge Cup: Hat-trick hero McGuinness praises ‘outstanding’ Reds
It was an emotionally charged evening for midfielder Marissa Callaghan as it marked just over a year since the death of her nephew, Ryan, in October 2023.
She was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet, hitting the crossbar and the post, but she was happy for Caitlin McGuinness to receive all the plaudits.
“My nephew Ryan passed away this time last year and my family is here tonight, and we are wearing our armbands and it’s dedicated to him tonight,” she explained.
“Unfortunately, I couldn’t get myself a goal I hit the crossbar, the post – everything!
“It has not been easy, but the girls were outstanding tonight. Caitlin McGuinness – what a hat-trick! I’m so happy and proud of them.”
Callaghan believes the historic first treble is just reward for the effort put in by players and staff alike this season.
“We have worked so, so hard together. We put in the shifts with late hours and early mornings, and it means everything.”

Francis Ngannou vs Renan Ferreira LIVE RESULTS: Ngannou scores incredible FIRST ROUND KO as he breaks down in tears
‘I knew’
Ngannou was then asked about the fight and if he was worried about losing any skills having been outside of the cage for so long.
But he says his first session back in the gym told him he hadn’t lost a step.
“I wasn’t worried about it, I knew as soon as I went back to the MMA gym it was all still there,” he said.
“It was just about being able to manage my emotion, deal with life. So that’s what I was working on.”
‘It’s been tough’
More from Ngannou on Kobe, who says: “It has been tough. Not only the training camp but the past few days have been full of emotion, I couldn’t do anything without thinking about it.
“I tried to be strong and give everything to keep moving but it’s hard.”
More from Ngannou
“I can’t think about anything but my son Kobe. I only took this fight because of him.
“I hope people remember his name, because without Kobe we wouldn’t be here tonight, I wouldn’t have fought.”
Devastating finish
Just brilliant from Ngannou in round one, here’s how it looked:

‘Remember my son’
Ngannou’s post-fight interview was heartbreaking to listen to.
“I can’t think about anything but my son. I took this fight for Kobe.
“Please remember my son.”
Ngannou in tears
Francis Ngannou broke down in tears after the win and during his interview as he dedicated that win to his son.
For those unaware, Ngannou lost his 15-month-old son Kobe just five months ago.

Conor McGregor bets big money on Francis Ngannou to lose at PFL Battle of the Giants
Conor McGregor has 500,000 reasons to pick against Francis Ngannou.
“The Notorious” boasted on social media that he has placed half-a-million on Renan Ferreira to to defeat Ngannou by knockout in Saturday’s PFL Battle of the Giants main event. The bout marks Ngannou’s first MMA fight since a successful defense of the heavyweight title at UFC 270 in January 2022.
Ngannou has never been finished by strikes under MMA rules, but he was knocked out in brutal fashion by Anthony Joshua in a boxing match this past March. The loss dropped Ngannou to 0-2 as a boxer, with one of those setbacks being a narrow split call against Tyson Fury.
According to McGregor’s post, should Ferreira beat the odds, the bet will pay out $1,675,000. Ferreira has scored 11 of his 13 pro victories by KO/TKO, including a recent win over Ryan Bader and three wins in 2023 that earned him a PFL heavyweight tournament crown and a $1 million prize.
McGregor has made a habit of sharing large wagers in partnership with betting website Duelbits. This past July, the UFC star cashed in on another $500,000 wager when he successfully predicted that old foe Nate Diaz would defeat Jorge Masvidal in a boxing match.
Updated: After the loss, McGregor tweeted – then deleted – the following.
