3. Gaelic games: The Continental Youth Championships of the Gaelic games kick off today in Chester County. About 200 youth clubs from across the United States and Canada will compete in Irish football, hurling and camogie during the four-day tournament at the Greater Chester Valley Soccer Association fields in East Goshen. The sports are hugely popular in Ireland, but much less widely played in the United States.

4. Cause of deadly fire: Officials are investigating the cause of a fire that killed two young cousins and injured a third in Chester.

Three other children and two adults survived the fire. Chester Fire Commissioner James Johnson says the department is "leaving no stone unturned" in order to "make sure we give that family some rest as to what caused this."
