12 hours ago What will my descendants make of my photo 100 years from now? | Seamas O'Reilly

Looking at a sepia-tinged picture of my grandmother, she has the kind of face you don’t see any more The photo shows my grandmother. She’s among the adults at the back, fourth from right, peeping out from a row of old-timey faces. The kind of faces you don’t see any more, faces that could only come from the past. Even without the sepia tint and the period clothing, you know you’d have a hard time showing them an iPhone or talking to them about AI. Frankly, you’d have a hard time explaining ITV4.But it is sepia-tinted, this photo, almost artificially so; its stock-still adults and fidgety kids captured in eerie permanence, so perfectly composed as to recall the cover of a stirring Irish childhood memoir. Judging by the boys and girls in their little suits and sparkling white dresses, it’s from a first holy communion ceremony, presumably one with pupils from the small primary school in Mulleek, Fermanagh, where she taught for 30 years.

63 minutes ago Du Toit stars as Bath keep hopes alive with Champions Cup win over Clermont

Pool 2: Bath 40-21 Clermont AuvergnePremiership leaders travel to Leinster next SaturdayBath are not yet certain of qualification for the knockout stages of this year’s Champions Cup but this six-try bonus point victory has given their chances a much-needed boost. While plenty still hinges on the outcome of Saturday’s trip to face Leinster, they are still alive in a pool where every point is having to be earned the hard way.The Premiership pace-setters may still have to rely on Benetton being well beaten at home to La Rochelle but a losing bonus point in Dublin could now narrowly sneak them through. If they do make it through they will be suitably grateful, not for the first time, to their South African prop Thomas du Toit whose brace of tries added further gloss to a typically strong set-piece performance.

74 minutes ago Harry Maguire revels in red mist to bend chaotic tie Manchester United’s way | Barney Ronay

Centre-back looks at home in Amorim’s defensive setup and showed leadership in moments of madness at ArsenalIt was always going to end like this, a fact that became essentially unavoidable with the sight of Joshua Zirkzee rotating his arms wildly towards the away end before the penalty shootout at the end of this 1-1 FA Cup third-round draw, shorts hitched up, chalk down one leg, transformed in that moment into Warrior-Zirkzee.From that point it also seemed inevitable Kai Havertz, who had earlier fallen over a pocket of air to win a potentially game-turning penalty, would now produce the key miss, a spot-kick so weak he could have run after it, caught up, taken it back and had another go.

This year marks the first time in nearly 20 years that both an American man and woman are seeded in the top four of a majorAnalyzing a grand slam draw before the tournament begins is a fraught exercise. Very rarely does a draw play to form as upsets and injuries can disrupt the seemingly logical progression of the 128-player field. And how a player is performing heading into the event is often a better indicator of their chances than their ranking or seeding would indicate. Further, no major is as difficult to forecast as the Australian Open, which is already under way in Melbourne; being that it’s the first big tournament after the sport’s “off-season” (if one can call six weeks a legitimate off-season), it’s very tough to gauge the level of the top players.Having said that, things do look promising for the top American man and woman at the Australian Open, as Taylor Fritz and Coco Gauff are playing stellar tennis.
