By Carl Field It has been quite some month for junior women’s artistic gymnast Evie Flage-Donovan. The 15-year-old rising star from Newport bagged herself a stunning gold medal on beam at the 2022 Artistic British Championships at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool at the end of March, having finished sixth in the junior all-around […]

Gareth Bale is looking to inspire the next generation of golfers in Wales, backing a new national Under 16 event for boys and girls. Working with Wales Golf, who will run the national junior championship at the beginning of June, the tournament is the start of a three-year partnership between Wales Golf, Bale and his management company ICM Stellar Sports.

Cardiff City youngster Oli Denham believes the club are heading in the right direction under straight-talking Steve Morison. Denham is one of a number of youngsters given his opportunity under manager Morison in recent weeks as the Bluebirds boss prepares for a massive summer clear-out. The changes have lately been at the cost of results with Cardiff in danger of ending the season without a win in six games unless they can gain victory in their final Championship fixture at Derby County on Saturday.

By Matthew Burgess The Cardiff Devils saved their best for last as they outfought the treble-chasing Belfast Giants to clinch the Play-Off title for the third time in as many seasons. Empty-net goals from Trevor Cox and Josh Lammon ensured the Devils held out as they sealed a 6-3 win amidst building pressure from Belfast, […]

By Matthew Burgess Officials and players of Newtown AFC would’ve been following events at Cardiff City Stadium yesterday with more than a passing interest as they witnessed a nervy finish as The New Saints successfully fended off Penybont’s valiant attempts of an audacious comeback. Celebratory scenes at full-time confirmed Saints as worthy League and Cup […]

Gareth Anscombe and George North have earned praise from Ospreys head coach Toby Booth after their part in thrashing the Scarlets, 54-36. The Wales pair – who were both on different stages of the comeback road after long periods out injured – helped their side to a victory which keeps alive their Heineken Champions Cup qualification hopes. Anscombe proved he is approaching his best again after two years out with a knee injury, while North played his first match for a year following his own knee problem.

Russell Martin has admitted he felt embarrassed by Swansea City’s latest collapse and vowed to bring in more athletic and powerful players this summer. The Swans head coach again watched his team succumb in a one-sided second-half as they were thrashed 5-1 at Nottingham Forest. In three of their last four games, the Swans have conceded three second half goals to Reading, three to Bournemouth and now four to Forest.

He may have delivered one of the all-time great losing performances in a thriller at the World Snooker Championship, but Mark Williams reckons he would rather have been thrashed. The three-time champion produced an epic fightback before losing 17-16 in a nerve-shredding final frame to Judd Trump in their semi-final at Sheffield’s Crucible Theatre. Williams was bidding to add a fourth world title to the triumph he last enjoyed in 2018, but although he contributed to one of the greatest matches in the tournament’s long history, he said there was little consolation.

Steve Morison has described promotion from the Championship as his “vision” for Cardiff City next season, rather than a target. The Bluebirds manager and his team said farewell to their supporters with an underwhelming 1-1 draw at home to fellow strugglers Birmingham City in their penultimate game of the season. Morison is already looking forward to next season and a busy summer of comings and goings but he is realistic about what the expectations should be for the next campaign.

By Matthew Burgess Less than a year ago, Brodie Dupont’s name would’ve been unfamiliar to most Cardiff Devils fans. After all, it wasn’t until mid-August that he was announced as the team’s final signing of a hectic summer of recruitment. This weekend, the 35-year-old will lead the Devil’s charge into the Elite League Play-Off finals […]

By Harry Corish The famous red bus journey down Westgate Street into the centre of Cardiff is an iconic sight in Welsh rugby. Wales’ male players often say the cheering crowds packed in on match day, as the driver edges his way through to the Principality Stadium, is one of the most uplifting moments they […]

Watching Wales play football on TV for nothing, and in the Welsh language, is about to become history. The FAW have signed up for a brave new world of Nordic streaming channels with monthly fees, so untested the service doesn’t even exist yet in the UK. Feeling let down? So is, Dan Parker. So, from 2024 broadcast access to Wales (men’s) international football is set fall behind a paywall. Swedish streaming service Viaplay has secured exclusive access to Wales’ World Cup and European Championship qualifiers, as well as Nations League games and friendlies.

BY Kasey Rees After back-to-back defeats against England and France, Wales boss Ioan Cunningham has made eight personnel changes and two positional switches ahead of final match against Italy on Saturday. Wales have won two and lost two in their Tiktok Women’s Six Nations campaign, but hope to finish on a positive note when they […]

By Fraser Watson A row has broken out over player eligibility rules, which has prevented a Pembrokeshire club from clinching the title. The Division 1 season may be over in the Pembrokeshire Football League – but it could be sometime before the champions are confirmed with both the top two clubs potentially facing sanctions. As […]

By Harry Corish Gareth Bale has been pinpointed by as the man who can destroy Scotland’s hopes of reaching the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

In a little over three months, Wales’ men’s artistic gymnasts will be aiming to write their names into the history books at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.

The development and gathering momentum of the men’s team over the past four years means there is now growing optimism and excitement ahead of this summer.

By Rob Carbon Steve Law has labelled Cardiff’s derby with Merthyr tonight as the biggest club game in Wales this season. A bonus point victory for Cardiff at the Arms Park will see them crowned Indigo Group Premiership Champions which seemed inconceivable a few short weeks ago given the 12-point lead Newport held at the […]

Steve Morison has questioned the desire of Cardiff City players after they suffered a fourth straight defeat. The Bluebirds manager suggested some in his squad lack motivation as they suffered their 23rd defeat of the Championship season with a 2-0 loss at Middlesbrough. Only two of the teams in the relegation places have lost more games than Cardiff this season and if it were not for the points deductions suffered by Derby County and Reading, Cardiff’s home clash against Birmingham City this Saturday would be a likely relegation decider.

Welsh football chief Noel Mooney has come in for heavy criticism from Wales fans following the announcement that TV rights for Wales matches have been sold to a subscription streaming service.  Mooney – the Football Association of Wales chief executive – tweeted on Wednesday morning that “UEFA had sold the rights for all 55 national associations for Europe”.
