Some ran towards the borders; others, to the enlistment offices. “I froze, trying to master my fear,” says Oleh, a publishing graduate and former NGO worker. “I am not a military man, I have never seen myself like that, and I did not understand how ordinary people could stand in the way of such a powerful enemy like Russia.”

First appointed as captain in 2023, the Aghyaran native has led Tyrone out in Croke Park for back-to-back intermediate final appearances and lifted the Mary Quinn Memorial Cup last summer following their win over Laois

She might be in her fourth season in the role, but Aghyaran St Davog’s star Aoibhinn McHugh has insisted it remains a massive honour to be captain of the Tyrone ladies football team.

First appointed to the position in 2023, McHugh led the Red Hands out in Croke Park for back-to-back final appearances in the TG4 All-Ireland intermediate football championship in the two years that followed her debut campaign as skipper.

She was also captain of Tyrone when they competed in a Lidl National Football League Division 2 decider at GAA HQ on April 7, 2024.

This year now sees Tyrone returning to the second-tier of the NFL and team leader McHugh has featured in all three of their league games to date against Monaghan, Westmeath and Donegal.

“It’s definitely still a huge honour. I don’t think it loses that part of it. Every year when management selects me again, it’s a bit of a confidence boost. You’re honoured, but at the same time I think we’ve had a similar sort of team now for the past couple of years and we have other leaders. We’re probably settled as well, which is good,” McHugh acknowledged.

While Kildare and Leitrim got the better of them in league and championship showpieces respectively in the same venue during a hectic 2024, August 3 of last year proved to be a much more satisfactory outing in Croke Park for McHugh and Tyrone.

Despite coming under pressure from their Midlands counterparts throughout the course of the action, the Ulster outfit registered a 2-16 to 1-13 victory over Laois in an entertaining TG4 All-Ireland intermediate football championship final.

Playing alongside Slaine McCarroll in midfield, McHugh contributed a late point as Tyrone made amends for an agonising one-point reversal to the aforementioned Leitrim in the previous year’s decider. As captain of the team, she was the first player to climb the steps of the Hogan Stand to receive the Mary Quinn Memorial Cup from LGFA President Trina Murray.

“It’s obviously a massive honour to be the captain, but in particular last year winning an All-Ireland, and being lucky enough to be the captain, was obviously huge. It was a big day for all the families and clubs involved,” McHugh recalled of that 2025 final.

“I think for us, we’re probably just now trying to look towards this year and build on last year. We’ve a lot of work to do this year and a lot of tough opponents coming. That’s probably our focus now.

“We have kept nearly all the girls from last year, which is massive. It sort of means that we hopefully can use last year as a momentum and benefit. I think winning probably brought a lot of the girls closer as well. Thank God we’ve kept most of our players.”

Given she was part of the panel when Tyrone won their previous All-Ireland intermediate crown in 2018, McHugh is acutely aware of the challenges that come with making the step up to the senior grade.

The Red Hand certainly made a strong impression upon their return to the Brendan Martin Cup in 2019, making the quarter-final stage of the All-Ireland SFC after recording an excellent group phase triumph over provincial rivals Donegal at TEG Cusack Park in Mullingar.

Tyrone subsequently went on to enjoy two more campaigns in the senior championship, before being relegated to the All-Ireland IFC for the 2022 season.

It hasn’t been an easy road back to the top grade, but McHugh and her inter-county colleagues are eager to embrace all that Ulster and All-Ireland senior football has to offer them later on this summer.

“It’s where every team wants to be. You want to be playing at the top level. It has been a while since we’ve played in the senior championship. We’re delighted to be back and credit to the girls for all the work that has been put in there and the management over the last couple of years. To get us to win an All-Ireland and get us there this year.

“We’re delighted to be in the senior Ulster championship. We’re delighted to be going to play Donegal and Armagh, so we’re looking forward to it. We’ll look forward to playing in it, but our focus now is on the league and then we’ll look to the championship during the summer.”

While being the newly-promoted side in the senior championship can be daunting, Tyrone won’t necessarily be stepping into the unknown this year. The county featured in Division 1 of the Lidl NFL in 2025 and all seven teams they faced will be competing for the Brendan Martin Cup this summer.

Additionally, Tyrone are one of four senior outfits in this season’s NFL Division 2. They have already faced one of this cohort in Donegal – they lost 3-9 to 1-8 against the O’Donnell women in Aghyaran on February 8 – and are now set to lock horns with another in Mayo at O’Neills Healy Park in Omagh tomorrow afternoon at 2pm.

A meeting with Tipperary (All-Ireland SFC quarter-finalists in 2025) will also follow in the seventh and final round of the league on Sunday, March 29 and McHugh is hopeful that facing so many top-tier counties between this year and last year will stand them in good stead for what is to come in the championship.

Before then Tyrone will be aiming for a repeat of their promotion charge from 2024, but McHugh stressed that tough battles lie in wait for the Red Hand in Division 2.

“Hopefully that will stand to us [facing senior teams in the league]. We had the exposure to it last year in Division One of the league, which was good. Then this year Tipperary, Donegal and Mayo are the three senior teams. Hopefully that will stand to us and we’ll be ready. Knowing what to expect going into the senior championship,” McHugh added.

“Division Two is a tough division. There’s no easy game there. Hopefully it will stand to us. Hopefully we can use all these challenges. I think as well in the league, you can have some tough away games. They’re hard to get through, but hopefully the experience throughout the league will help us.”

As The Legend Of Zelda celebrates four decades of thwarting the forces of evil a reader looks back at his time with the games and hopes for another 40 years of Hyrulean entertainment.

If this gets shown on Saturday it will be the 40th anniversary of The Legend Of Zelda – my favourite video game series of all-time. I wasn’t old enough to play the original when it first came out, and apparently it took nearly two extra years to get released in the UK anyway, but ever since A Link To The Past on the SNES I’ve loved the games.

People often comment on how there aren’t many Zelda clones and I think that speaks to how magical and unique they are. You don’t put together a Zelda game in a few months, like you would a racing game or shooter, these aren’t simulations, these are interactive fantasies like no other.

I guess I must’ve played A Link To The Past around about 1993, so that game has been with me for a long time. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve replayed it and yet I never get bored with its perfect mix of puzzle and exploration and how it manages to have so many memorable characters, despite the simple storytelling and a main character that doesn’t speak.

I think it’s because the other games have kept this same formula over the years that they’ve remained so high quality and popular. A lot of them are very different, especially Breath Of The Wild and Tears Of The Kingdom, but it’s still the exploration, the freedom, and the charm that’s the most important thing. It doesn’t matter what the game’s gimmick is or what the story is, what’s important is how it leaves you to live your own adventure as Link.

Writing this down I realise that it’s not just the games I remember but what I was doing at the time. A Link To The Past was a Christmas present and I remember unwrapping it. Ocarina Of Time I was older and I remember a friend mocking me because the N64 was for ‘kids’ and then having to admit that, actually, Zelda was really good.

By the time of The Wind Waker I had a girlfriend and she actually liked the game, which made me realise games weren’t just for loveless nerds. For Twilight Princess I remember I was only a few months into my first decent job and by the time I was playing Skyward Sword I was married!

So Zelda really is something that’s followed me through for my whole life, so it’s great that all the memories are happy. Breath Of The Wild was a bit garbled though, because we had our first kid at the time, but they were already interested in watching Tears Of The Kingdom (they really like the horses).

I don’t know anymore than anyone else where the series is going in the future, but it’s never let me down before so I will absolutely be there to experience it. Especially as it’s one of the few games my wife likes to watch and even my daughter seems interested in.

Much as I love them, that’s not something I can say about other favourites like Resident Evil and Elden Ring, so I think there’s a lot to be said about a set of games that are not only very highly quality but can be appreciated by just about anyone, no matter what they think about video games in general.

So I just want to thank Shigeru Miyamoto, Eiji Aonuma, Koji Kondo, and everyone else that has helped to make the series what it is and who gave me, and millions of other fans, so many happy memories. I’m sure Zelda will be around in another 40 years and with a bit of luck so will I, so I can get to appreciate the continued evolution of the best video game franchise in the world!

Ryan Garcia will return to the ring when he takes on WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios in a world championship bout on Saturday

Advertisement

Former WBC interim lightweight champion Ryan Garcia will end his nine-month ring absence when he faces Mario Barrios on Saturday. The duo will go to war for Barrios’ WBC welterweight title as ‘El Azteca’ looks to keep his hands on the crown.

Garcia, 27, hasn’t fought since he suffered a unanimous-decision defeat to Rolly Romero in May 2025. ‘King’ missed his chance at the WBA welterweight belt but will look to make up for that shortcoming when he fights in Las Vegas for the first time in nearly three years this weekend.

The 24-2 (1NC) fighter has become a fervent topic of discussion in boxing circles over recent years. Once one of the greatest prospects in American boxing, Garcia has since seen his personal life take over following a rollercoaster period in his career.

That extends to the Californian’s relationship and family drama, which has also fallen under the public microscope. Here, Mirror Fighting breaks down some of Garcia’s greatest accomplishments and personal strife ahead of his bout against 29-2-2 Barrios.

What is Ryan Garcia’s net worth?

As a former star of the amateur scene, Garcia built up a lot of interest in his name by the time he turned pro at the age of 17. It was shortly after his 18th birthday that the sensation signed with Oscar de la Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions, at which point a star was truly born.

That early investment in exposure has paid dividends over the years. By the time he beat Luke Campbell via TKO in January 2021, the prospect (who moved to a 21-0 record at the time) was already a considerable draw and fighting at some of the biggest venues in the United States.

Garcia’s fight earnings increased significantly following that win, and the fighter has claimed he earned around £20million (pre-tax) for his seventh-round stoppage loss to Gervonta Davis in 2023. Almost exactly one year later, he himself alleged he made roughly £35m for his WBC super lightweight bout against Devin Haney, originally a decision win that was later overturned following a failed drug test.

Those account for the most lucrative highlights of Garcia’s in-ring career and make up the majority of his supposed £35m net worth. At least if Garcia’s own claims regarding his fight earnings – made up of guaranteed earnings, pay-per-view bonuses and his personal bets – are accurate.

In addition to his fight earnings, King Ryan boasts a wealth of endorsement deals and sponsorships with major brands. He became the first boxer to sign an agreement with energy drink giant Gatorade in 2021, as well as advertising companies like Dior and GymShark over the years.

Garcia is also partnered with clothing company YoungLA and regularly sports their products in fight week. The boxer, who has 12.5m followers on Instagram, is very active in the live stream sector and regularly collaborates with major content creators, though it’s unclear how much the pugilist profits from this side of the business.

Who is Ryan Garcia’s wife?

Garcia’s topsy-turvy relationship with Andrea Celina has been the basis for much of his exposure in the media. It’s understood the pair started dating in 2019 and had their first child, daughter Bela, the following year, before welcoming a son, Henry, in December 2023.

Celina is a social media influencer in her own right and boasts 230,000 followers on Instagram. She regularly advertises clothing and make-up brands via her account, though the mother-of-two’s earnings are unclear.

It was roughly an hour after Henry’s birth that Garcia announced the couple would be divorcing. Later the same year, he claimed he had proposed to Australian adult film actress Savannah Bond.

However, TMZ reported in August 2025 that Garcia had requested a Los Angeles Court put a hold on his divorce proceedings with Celina. The pair reconciled that summer and were seen publicly together, suggesting their relationship was back on.

Garcia also has another daughter, Riley, from a previous relationship with ex-girlfriend Catherine Gamez. The American has regularly posted tributes to his children in the past and frequently cites them as his inspiration.

It’s believed his tumultuous relationship with Celina is still alive and well today. The pair celebrated his 27th birthday together last year, but they largely keep their affairs private.

Who is Ryan Garcia fighting?

Saturday’s showdown with Barrios will mark the first time in earnest that Garcia has fought for another fighter’s world title. The WBA welterweight crown was vacant when he took on Romero last year, while the WBC lightweight belt was taken off the table for his clash against Haney after Garcia missed weight.

After officially winning just one of his last four bouts, this could present a major crossroads for King. Win, and he’s back in the mix as one of the elite fighters in his weight class; lose, and he risks putting his future title prospects in doubt.

Barrios, 30, has successfully defended his title on two occasions to date. However, he did so under controversial circumstances given he drew against both Abel Ramos and Manny Pacquiao in 2024 and 2025, respectively.

He previously held the WBA super lightweight title and defended it once before losing to Davis via TKO, just like Garcia. And the DAZN PPV has an added bit of spice considering Garcia’s former trainer, Joe Goossen, is now part of Barrios’ camp.

‘They look really nice on my fence in the garden. Very bright too’

With the nights slowly but surely getting that little bit lighter and spring creeping over the horizon, many outdoors fans are itching to get outside and tend to gardens that have been neglected over winter. And one addition that can create a stunning atmosphere as dusk arrives over the warmer months is outdoor solar lights.

There’s actually a way that shoppers can effectively pick some up for free right now in a cashback deal. It comes via money-saving website, TopCashback, where new members who sign up here get a £15 cashback bonus when spending £15 at a participating retailer.

That means that the Globe 10 LED Outdoor Solar String Lights – usually £15 at Dunelm – can basically be acquired for free by new sign-ups to the service. New TopCashback members and both new and existing Dunelm customers get the lights for free after cashback.

The lights feature 10 LED bulbs that are suitable for outdoor use and are powered by sunlight. The one review left on the Dunelm website to date gave five stars, saying: “Pretty lights, they look really nice on my fence in the garden. Very bright too.”

As far as drawbacks are concerned, one thing worth pointing it is that at 3.6m they aren’t particularly long, so some people may want lights that cover a much greater area. One such example is the 23M/75FT Solar Festoon Lights, priced at £27.99 on Amazon.

Shopping writer Eve Rowlands bought a very similar product that is no longer sold on Amazon, reports the Express. Speaking about them, she said: “Having had my own set-up for the past year, I can attest to their durability – they’ve withstood gusty storms, scorching heatwaves and icy nights, and they’re still in top-notch condition.”

She added: “The festoon lights come with 30 (+3 extra) bulbs and extend to 23 metres, making them perfect for adorning a large outdoor space. Made from sturdy shatterproof LED plastic bulbs, these string lights add a delightful touch to your seating area and emit just the right amount of light for those warm summer evenings.”

For those keen to brighten up their borders, some stake lights that push into the ground might be a better bet. Argos sells a pack of six Stainless Steel Solar Stake Lights for £20. They’re capable of lasting for six hours on a full charge, though it should be noted that eight hours of full sunlight is needed for that to happen.

Secret Service members will get tailored suits at the expense of taxpayers after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem disliked how a protective detail was dressed, according to a new report.

Graduates from protective detail training will get two navy blue suits with their name embroidered on the inside of the jacket, according to a public contract solicitation from the Department of Homeland Security, as first reported by CNN. The suits must be entirely made in the United States, the solicitation published last week states.

Two people familiar with the matter told CNN Noem didn’t like the suits a protective detail had bought for themselves, prompting the new suit solicitation.

The cost of the contract is yet to be determined and it will cover a five-year ordering period.

A CNN source said the Secret Service found funding inside its current budget. It’s unclear whether the partial government shutdown will affect the solicitation, as Democrats withhold funding from DHS in a battle to reform its immigration enforcement arm.

DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin told CNN about the new suits, “This does not have to do with optics.”

McLaughlin said that agents in the Secret Service’s Uniformed Division don’t have to pay for their on-duty clothes, but agents in protective details do. Uniformed Division officers wear protective vests and dark clothing.

“This is to fix the inequity that non-uniformed [officers] have to pay for their uniform,” she said.

The Independent has reached out to DHS and the White House for comment.

Former Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger, a Republican critic of the Trump administration, mocked the new initiative.

“DHS has so much money (thank GOP) that now new secret service detail agents get two new tailored suits each!” he wrote on X.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which President Donald Trump signed last summer, gave about $170 billion for immigration enforcement over the next several years.

Kinzinger said the suits “will look nice on the plush new jet too,” referring to the $70 million luxury jet Immigration and Customs Enforcement is reportedly trying to buy.

Frozen chips are a convenient side dish, but they can take up to 30 minutes in the oven. One simple trick before baking cuts cooking time to just 10 minutes and makes them extra crispy

It’s remarkable how something so simple – slicing spuds and dunking them in hot oil – can produce such an irresistible snack. Chips are the perfect accompaniment to everything from battered fish to a succulent steak or homemade burgers, but there’s nothing worse than when they emerge as soggy, limp disappointments.

Whilst freshly made chips are undoubtedly superior, there’s no denying the appeal of chucking a bag of frozen ones from the supermarket into your trolley. The problem is, despite being marketed as a quick fix, they actually demand quite a lengthy cooking time.

Bung frozen chips in the oven and you’re looking at nearly half an hour before they’re ready to scoff. By the time they’ve defrosted enough to be edible, you’ve already burnt through 20 minutes, and waiting even longer for that coveted crunch feels like an eternity.

That’s why I swear by a clever little hack for getting the speediest, crispiest frozen chips possible. I give the frozen chips a quick blast in the microwave before transferring them to the oven. This slashes the cooking time from 30 minutes down to a mere 10 minutes.

On this occasion, I grabbed Aldi’s French Fries, though any style works brilliantly – whether that’s crinkle-cut, straight-cut, waffle, or curly varieties.

First, I cranked my oven up to the temperature specified on the packet – 200 degrees.

I scattered a few handfuls of frozen chips onto a plate and zapped them in the microwave for 1.5 minutes. This gets them partially thawed out.

I then shifted the chips onto a ready baking tray lined with greaseproof paper. Alternatively, you could give the tray a quick spritz with cooking spray or brush it with oil. This will stop the chips from sticking and make them a doddle to lift off once they’re done.

Another handy hint is to avoid cramming too many chips onto the baking sheet, as this can cause them to clump together. By spreading them out in a single layer, you allow air to circulate each chip, ensuring even cooking and preventing any stickiness.

I slid the chips into the preheated oven and baked them for 10 minutes. Keep a close eye on them until they turn a lovely golden brown colour, if they’re not quite there after 10 minutes.

Once the chips were beautifully crispy, I tossed them into a bowl and seasoned them simply with salt.

Dr Thomas O’Neill, 37, preyed on the child, who he met through his work, between November 2019 and May 2020.

A paediatric doctor has been struck off after he was convicted of sending indecent images to a child he met through work.

Dr Thomas O’Neill, 37, has been stripped of his license to practice after he was found guilty of indecent communications with a 15-year-old boy at Edinburgh Sheriff Court in February last year.

O’Neill, who worked in the A&E department at Edinburgh Sick Kids Hospital, preyed on the child between November 2019 and May 2020.

Court papers state O’Neill, who was 31-years-old at the time, coerced the boy into looking at images of his penis. He repeatedly contacted the child on Whatsapp, Snapchat, and over the phone for the purposes of sexual gratification.

Depraved O’Neill avoided a custodial sentence was slapped with a community payback order with 18 months supervision when sentenced in March 2025. He was also made subject to sex offender notification requirements.

O’Neill, of Edinburgh, was hauled before the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) earlier this week. Disturbing details of his predatory actions were laid bare during the hearing, which was held on Thursday.

It heard how the doctor met the child when he was just 14 via a colleague. While driving a car in November 2019, with the child as a passenger, predatory O’Neill asked the boy about his masturbation habits.

Months later, he began messaging the child inappropriately on WhatsApp before going on to send the him pictures of his penis on Snapchat. The tribunal heard that O’Neill then told the child he was buying sex toys.

Thereafter, he turned up at his house to give the minor a silicone device. The boy blocked O’Neill, however, he attempted contact again by repeatedly approaching him on other platforms using both male and female usernames.

The pervert masked himself under another male name and messaged the victim, asking if he was gay. The creep then sent the minor a picture of a penis and asked the young boy if he recognised his genitals.

The watchdog hearing ruled that in light of his offences, the doctor’s fitness to practise is impaired. O’Neill was struck off the medical register and banned from working in the profession indefinitely.

Giving his conclusion, MPTS tribunal chair Lee Davies said: “Dr O’Neill’s actions of sending explicit images and messages to a child undermines patients’ and the public’s trust and confidence in the medical profession and inevitably brings the profession as a whole into disrepute.

“His actions fall far short of proper professional standards and conduct for medical practitioners and his lack of insight into the seriousness of his behaviour and the potential impact this could have had on patients, colleagues and the wider profession, coupled with his failure to remediate were all matters the tribunal weighed in the balance when making its decision.

“The Tribunal concluded that the interests of Dr O’Neill are outweighed by the need to protect the public, including the need to maintain the reputation of the profession as a whole. The Tribunal therefore determined that Dr O’Neill’s name be erased from the medical register.”

O’Neill graduated from the University of Brighton and the University of Sussex in 2013.

He joined the General Medical Council registry the following year. As well as his role at Edinburgh Sick Kids Hospital, O’Neill was employed as a research fellow at Edinburgh University.

In videos shared on YouTube, he was seen providing support to LGBT staff. Edinburgh University removed all clips associated with O’Neill from its platforms after being approached by the Record.

The university declined to comment. The Record understands O’Neill is no longer employed by NHS Lothian.

Tom Power, Director of People and Culture, NHS Lothian, said: “While we do not comment on individual members of staff or former staff, we expect all our staff to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and patient care, and take necessary and appropriate steps where this is not the case.”
