It comes at the perfect time as punters are following through on their New Year‘s fitness resolutions.

The new range is the ideal way to keep healthy without breaking the bank.

Some fitness brands cost a fortune for you to keep in shape, but luckily for fans, the new range is at affordable prices.

The collection includes ladies sports leggings for only €7.99.

Available in sizes S up to L, the high waisted leggings are specially designed for quick drying and moisture wicking.

They come in three great colour options, so shoppers are spoiled for choice.

The leggings are available in bright pink, deep navy, or a funky multi-colour graphic pattern.

Also available are men’s trainers from only €10.99.

The comfy shoes come in sizes 7.5 up to 11.5, and are specially designed for extra flexibility.

They have a lace up design and with breathable mesh for extra comfort.

The shoes are ideal for walking and running or for wearing during gym workouts.

And like the leggings, the shoes are available in multiple design options.

The first is a sleek all black colour scheme, with white soles for an added pop of colour.

Or, there’s a unique black and green design with neon threading for a bold design.

Beyond the fitness clothes, there are plenty of items that fitness fans will get loads of use from.

There’s a handy muscle stimulator to help you relax your muscles after a hard workout.

It comes at the bargain price of €19.99 and has 24 different modes of operation.

The item is designed to relieve tension in your muscles and soothe pain from a day at the gym.

For a major treat, the range will also feature a massage gun that’s perfect for relaxing your muscles.

It’s a great way to get an at home treat without forking out for a real massage.

The item costs €79.99 and has five different intensity levels.

Another great item available to shoppers is the back brace, a handy thing to have to prevent back pain.

It’s easy to hurt or even injure yourself when lifting heavy weights or doing complicated stretches.

Luckily, a back brace can help you to keep a straight posture and reduce pain in your lower muscles.

By adding a knee brace, the bones are kept straight and are less likely to be injured.

The knee brace can be put on under a tracksuit for running or over leggings while working out.

In a sleek black colour, it costs just €4.99 and comes in sizes S up to XXL.

Lidl said it offers “gentle compression and support for joints”.

ARSENAL fans have been left fuming that Myles Lewis-Skelly will now face a three-games suspension.

The academy graduate, 18, was sent off in the 43rd minute of his side’s clash with Wolves for a foul on Matt Doherty.

The cynical trip was deemed to be “serious foul play” by referee Michael Oliver.

Premier League Match Centre went on to clarify on social media: “The referee’s call of a red card for Lewis-Skelly was checked and confirmed by VAR, who deemed his challenge to have been serious foul play.”

After the incident, it dawned on some fans online that Lewis-Skelly would be in line for a three-match ban for his offence.

One wrote on social media: “That’s Lewis Skelly banned for 3 games now talk about giving his pals at City a chance.”

The full-back will not be suspended for the Champions League trip to Girona.

His ban, only valid for domestic competitions, will begin with next week’s clash with Manchester City at the Emirates.

He will then be in line to miss the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg at Newcastle, and a Prem trip to Leicester.

Joao Gomes went on to be sent off for a second bookable offence, meaning that he will receive a one-match ban.

This prompted an Arsenal fan to whinge: “Gomes will only serve a 1 game ban for an ankle breaking tackle while Miles Lewis Skelly will serve a 3 game ban for a tactical foul. The Michael Oliver logic.”

A further supporter cried: “So basically if we don’t win the appeal for Skelly he gets a 3 match ban and Gomes gets a 1 match ban for 2 yellows and a worse tackle. F***ing shambles.”

Another added: “These guys think we are idiots! Lewis Skelly gets a straight red and 3 match ban but Gomes gets a second yellow for the exact same challenge.”

CONOR MCGREGOR burst out laughing after a bare-knuckle fighter threw a pasty into his opponent’s face.

The UFC legend was in attendance during the BKFC Knuckmania V weigh-in.

Fighters John Garbarino and Apostle Spencer stole the show of the event as they had a spat.

Garbarino had brought a box of cannoli pastries to the weigh-in and passed them out to McGregor, Spencer and BKFC president David Feldman.

At first, it seemed like Spencer appreciated the nice gesture from Garbarino.

However, chaos would then ensue as Garbarino swatted the pastry out of his rival’s hand.

As Spencer went to react and get his own back, Garbarino was quicker yet again as he hurled another cannoli into his face.

Cream could be seen flying everywhere after hitting Spencer’s face as he was left covered.

Security broke up the fight between the two fighters while McGregor could be seen in fits of laughter.

McGregor became a co-owner in BKFC after purchasing a significant share in the spot last April.

He has admitted that he is up for a gloveless scrap and could make a surprise appearance.

He told The Schmo: “One of these days you’ll just hear my music come onto this stage in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship and I’ll have my fist wrapped with no gloves for a fight, out of nowhere.

“No promotion. No promo. No nothing. Just fighting a random fight on the card.

“That could be what the future holds.

“And legal making claims and all this? That’s for p******.”

McGregor’s impact on the weigh-in did not end with the pastry clash.

He was also the peacemaker when Kaine Tomlinson Jr squared up with Pat Sullivan.

Notorious and security separated the par after Sullivan stood on the scales.

THE heartbreaking first picture of a man killed in a car crash has been released alongside tributes hailing him as a “fine young man”.

Dmytro Yefimenko was killed earlier this month after being struck by a car in Co Cavan.

The crash happened on the N54 at Plush, Cloverhill, on the night of January 18.

Emergency services rushed to the scene where Yefimenko, aged 47, was pronounced dead.

His body was removed to the mortuary at at Cavan General Hospital where a post mortem was set to take place.

Now, the details of the tragic man’s funeral have been released alongside the first picture of him since the announcement of his death.

Dmytro, from the main street in Ballniagh, Co Cavan, will be laid to rest today, January 25.

The ceremony had been planned for a different day but was changed due to the ferocious Storm Eowyn.

He will be reposing at the Lakelands Funeral Home on the Dublin Road in Cavan from five o’clock in the evening.

This will be followed by prayers at six before a cremation ceremony.

Dmytro will leave behind his “beloved” daughter Alina as well as his mother Lyubov’, father Anatoliy, and brother Vladimir.

Also mourning the loss are his granddaughter Evangelina as well as multiple nieces and nephews.

Dmytro had an extended family and “many, many friends and work colleagues” who will remember him.

Heartbroken mourners have remembered him as a “fine young man” as they offered the family condolences.

One person said: “Our sincere sympathy to all Dmytro’s family on this sad news.

“God help you all to cope with the tragic loss of such a fine young man.

“May Our Lord comfort and console you. May Dmytro’s Soul Rest in the Eternal Peace of Heaven.”

And somebody else said: “Deepest sympathy to Dmytro,s family at this heart breaking time.

“Such a fine young man gone far too soon. May his gentle soul rest in peace.

“I hope his family find the strength to carry this heavy cross.God bless you all.”

MARK CHAPMAN led fury and amazement from fans as Myles Lewis-Skelly was sent off after one of the “worst decisions ever”.

The Arsenal midfielder was just outside his own area when he cynically tripped  Wolves defender Matt Doherty and saw red.

This red card for Myles Lewis-Skelly sparked outrage[/caption]

Puzzled viewers at first wondered if Lewis-Skelly was dismissed for denying a clear scoring chance – even though it was so far out.

But a Premier League statement later clarified VAR had checked for “serious foul play” – with referee Michael Oliver’s decision upheld.

Chapman, who will share duties as BBC Match of the Day host, called the decision “baffling and nonsensical from supposedly one of our best referees.”

Beeb 5Live pundit Pat Nevin said labelling such a challenge serious foul play was setting “a bar so low even a limbo dancing snake couldn’t get under it”.

And one fan posted: “I’m all for Arsenal having a beast but that is never ever a red card, one of the worst decisions I’ve ever seen.”

Another observer wrote: “It’s outrageous. If it was close to Arsenal goal or even near the half way line I could maybe accept but that is a terrible decision.”

and a third viewer said: as much as I dislike them … a horrible decision from the ref! Mad how that’s been given

AN URGENT warning has been issued for thousands of commuters – as many routes are experiencing some disruption due to the impact of Storm Eowyn.

As many public transport services are slowly resuming operations across the country, Irish Rail services have resumed, but some routes remain closed or delayed.

Storm Eowyn has caused catastrophic damage across the country, bringing down trees and powerlines.

Thousands of households across the country are still without power and water supplies.

After the red warnings were lifted, many people were itching to get their weekend back on track after being derailed by the disruptive weather event.

Several Irish Rail routes have reopened after the weather event, but significant disruption remains due to power outages or damage to the tracks.

The affected rail services are:

• Westport/Ballina to Heuston
• Connolly to Belfast
• Sligo to Connolly

Due to the disruption, bus transfers are in place but they are currently limited.

No bus transfers are operating from Enfield/Kilcock.

A spokesperson for Irish Rail revealed that the disruption is mainly due to “a major power outage from Storm Eowyn”.

They stated that it is affecting the operation and monitoring of automatic level crossings on both routes, as well as fallen trees remaining on the Sligo/Westport lines.

Despite most Irish Rail services operating again, customers are reminded that the Dublin’s Connolly to Drogheda/Howth line is closed for planned rail works.

This means that the Northside DART, Northern Commuter and Dublin/Belfast services are currently not operating for the weekend and will resume on Monday.

Customers are urged not to undertake any travel without checking that services are operational; this can be done on the Irish Rail website or their social media pages for updates.

Affected customers with bookings will be automatically refunded.

DUBLIN AIRPORT CHAOS

Elsewhere, holidaymakers heading to Dublin Airport have faced some “mayhem” due to a road closure after the Terminal 2 facade was damage during Storm Eowyn yesterday.

Ireland’s top airport was severely hit by the storm, with flights in and out of the capital severely impacted.

But despite Storm Eowyn passing passengers were still being hit by travel chaos as traffic to parts of Dublin Airport was at a “standstill”.

Dublin Airport announced that due to Storm Eowyn damage, the underpass road leading to Terminal 1 Departures and the T1 short-term car park was closed.

The closure affected the main route to Terminal 1, but diversions were in place to ensure passengers can still access both T1 and the car park.

Airport officials confirmed that the road has reopened this morning, so the disruption for passengers should be short-lived.

TWO members of the Police Service of Northern Ireland have been injured after their vehicle was rammed in Newry, Co Down.

The shocking incident occurred in the Belfast Road area at around 11:20pm on Friday, January 24.

The cops were alerted to a “suspected stolen vehicle” which was parked in the forecourt of a garage in the area, where the car was used as a weapon against them.

The officers attempted to speak with the occupants of the car, where the “driver accelerated and collided” with one of the vehicles, which caused extensive damage and injures to the two officers inside.

It was reported that the suspected stolen car was a blue Mazda Demio, which was later located in the Bessbrook area.

Inspector Alastair MacDonald said: “Two call signs attended, and when officers attempted to speak with the occupants, the driver accelerated and collided with one of the vehicles, causing extensive damage and injuries to the two officers inside.

“The suspected stolen car, a blue Mazda Demio, was later located in the Bessbrook area.

“This vehicle was, in effect, used as a weapon against our officers. It is unacceptable that those working to keep their community safe should be targeted in this way.

“We’re thankful that our colleagues don’t appear, at this stage, to have suffered significant injury, but the outcome could have been much worse.”

The officers’ vehicle “sustained such significant damage” that it had to be recovered from the scene and will be off the road for repairs.

Mr MacDonald added that the vehicle being damage “impacts on the local community”.

He stated: “Those responsible should expect to be brought before the courts to face the consequences of their actions.”

The Police Service of Northern Ireland are currently appealing for information, including dashcam or other footage to make available for the cops as they investigate the incident.

This can be done by calling 101, quoting reference 2932 of 24/1/25.

ANOTHER POLICE VEHICLE RAMMED

In a separate incident, a second police vehicle was rammed by a silver van in the Dobsons Way of Bessbrook, just after 2:30am this morning.

Fortunately for the officers, there were no reports of any injuries or severe damage caused to the police vehicle.

He added: “Thankfully, there are no reports of any injuries, or any serious damage to the police vehicle. 

“Our enquiries are ongoing and I would ask anyone with information that could assist us to contact 101, quoting reference 142 of 25/1/25.”

Alternatively, both reports can be submitted online by using their non-emergency reporting form.
