Cemetery Outrage, Acapulco Wins and Blades Boost

This roundup covers three unrelated stories. In County Cork, Ireland, visitors discovered stones scattered across St Catherine's Cemetery in Kilcully in an incident that caused local alarm; Cork City Council said no graves were damaged and that the stones had come from a nearby skip, though relatives and residents described the scene as distressing given previous vandalism of headstones there in 2020. In sport, the 2026 FootGolf World Championship concluded in Acapulco, Mexico, after ten days of competition, with France and Argentina emerging as the dominant nations across individual and team events.

More than 1,200 players from over 60 countries competed at the Tres Vidas Acapulco and Turtle Dunes courses. France's Florian Warsemann and Slovakia's Lucia Cermakova won the men's and women's individual titles respectively, while Argentina's Cristian Fernández and Sergio Toth topped the Senior and Senior Plus divisions; France also retained the men's team title for a third consecutive year, beating Slovakia in the final, and Argentina defended its Senior team crown against Norway. Separately, Kenya's Strathmore Blades strengthened their push for a top-four finish in the National Basketball Premier League with weekend victories over Africa Nazarene University Wolfpacks and Ulinzi Warriors, taking them to 11 points from seven matches, according to coach Tony Ochieng.
