Here's the latest from the day's sporting action...

GAA

Waterford have missed out on the chance to claim their first All-Ireland Senior Camogie title after losing 5-13 to 0-9 against Cork.

The Rebels made the break through after successive All-Ireland final losses in their previous two campaigns to finally snatch the O'Duffy Cup.

Earlier in the Junior decider, Clare recovered from a very slow start to beat Munster rivals Tipperary 3-7 to 1-9, and the Intermediate final between Meath and Derry ended in a 2-6 to 1-9 draw, meaning the counties will meet again in a replay.

Soccer

Back-to-back champions the United States are out of the Women's World Cup.

They've been beaten 5-4 in dramatic fashion on penalties by Sweden in Melbourne.

They'll now face Japan in the quarter-finals.

Meanwhile, The Netherlands are through to the last eight after a 2-0 win against South Africa.

Manchester City's Jill Roord was on the scoresheet as the Dutch set up a clash with Spain in the next round.

***

Arsenal and Manchester City's meeting in the FA Community Shield final ended in a 4-1 for the Gunners after penalties at Wembley Stadium.

Play ended on one goal apiece, after bother Cole Palmer and Leandro Trossard netted in the second half.

In the Premier Division of the SSE Airtricity League, Shamrock Rovers beat Cork City at home 2-1, while Shelbourne's visit to Dundalk ended 1-1.

Para-swimming

Ellen Keane finished second in the 100m Breaststroke SB8 final at the Para-Swimming World Championships.

The Dubliner clocked at time of 1:21.43 and secured her place at next year's Olympic Games in Paris.

Elsewhere, Róisín Ní Riain came fourth in the 200m Individual Medley SM13 final, and Nicole Turner and Dearbhaile Brady finished fourth and fifth respectively in the 50m Butterfly S6 final.

Gymnastics

Four-time Olympic champion Simone Biles has made a winning return to gymnastics after a two-year break to prioritise her mental health.

Biles took victory in the all-around competition at the US Classic.

The American's comeback is timed perfectly ahead of the world championships later this year and the Olympics in Paris next summer.
