We need to put on as much pressure as possible before the Dáil votes tomorrow Wednesday night. This is a long-awaited opportunity to finally end one of the cruelest blood sports, which is already banned across nearly all of Europe. #BanHareCoursing

Arsenal won the inaugural Women’s Champions Cup after edging past Corinthians in extra time at the Emirates Stadium (Kit Shepard writes). The Brazilian club surprisingly beat the American franchise Gotham in Wednesday’s semi-finals, and threatened another upset yesterday. They made it 2-2 in the sixth minute of second-half stoppage time, when Vic Albuquerque scored a penalty. However Caitlin Foord got Arsenal’s winner in extra time.

Olivia Smith had opened the scoring in the 15th minute, before Gabi Zanotti equalised in the 21st. Lotte Wubben-Moy’s header just before the hour mark restored Arsenal’s lead but the late penalty, given after a VAR review of a Katie McCabe challenge, forced 30 additional minutes.

Arsenal prevailed and earned an enormous winning sum of $2.3 million (about £1.7 million), but they would not have appreciated the extra half-hour amid a cramped schedule. Anneke Borbe, their goalkeeper, exiting on a stretcher while wearing a neck brace and taking oxygen after a nasty collision with Wubben-Moy just before the end was therefore both frustrating and concerning for Arsenal.

Arsenal had the advantage of playing in their home city for their semi-final and home ground for the final, while Corinthians and Gotham are in effect in their pre-seasons.
