Invictus Games

The sixth Invictus Games first took place in 2014 for wounded, injured and ill soldiers (both service members and veterans) and is currently taking place in Düsseldorf, Germany. There are 500 participants from 21 nations taking part, with sports including athletics, rowing, powerlifting, wheelchair basketball, swimming, cycling and wheelchair rugby. – 9th – 16th September, `

St Leger Festival

The four-day Doncaster festival begins on Thursday. The highlight is of course the world’s oldest classic, the St. Leger, which took place on Sunday last year due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II. This year the Group One 1¾ mile race (which, along with the 2000 Guineas Stakes and the Derby forms the final leg of the British Triple Crown) will return to its usual Saturday date. – Thursday-Saturday, ITV and Sky Sports

Derry City v Shamrock Rovers

In the Airtricity League it’s second versus first at the Brandywell on Friday evening. The Dublin side are ahead and are four points clear at the top of the Premier Division. Both teams have shown strong form in September, with Rovers beating Bohemians 3-0 while Derry City beat bottom side UCD 5-0. With seven games left for each team before the league concludes in the first week of November, this week’s game could well determine whether fans are in for a thrilling conclusion to the season. – Friday, Virgin Media
