Aaron Ramsey will be assessed by Wales medical staff in Portugal as fears grow over his fitness for Euro 2020. The Juventus midfielder did not play for the Italian club in their final match of the season against Bologna on Sunday because of an ongoing thigh muscle injury. Ramsey was included in a 28-man training group announced on Monday by caretaker manager Robert Page that was notable for the absence of Hal Robson-Kanu.

Being selected in the NHL entry draft is something that most young hockey players growing up in Canada can only dream of. For the young prospects talented enough to get drafted, the moment an NHL team announces their name is their first taste of the ‘big-time’. Even after getting drafted, not all players get to […]

Newtown manager Chris Hughes is bracing himself for a battle of the underdogs in next weekend’s all-or-nothing Cymru Premier European Play-Off final against Caernarfon Town. The Robins booked their place in next Saturday’s final at The Oval in dramatic fashion when a late winning goal from Jamie Breese helped them overcome the Play-Off’s highest-seeded team […]

Joel Makin has booked a spot in the quarter-finals for the fourth successive time after seeing off Youssef Ibrahim at the El Gouna International in Egypt. The Haverfordwest-born ace saw off Egypt’s World No 30 12-10, 11-7, 11-2 in 42 minutes – but then reckoned all it needed was 20 minutes of hard squash.

Michael Collins is confident the Ospreys can challenge for silverware over the next couple of seasons and believes he’s the man to unleash their potent back division. The 27-year-old centre currently plies his trade for the Highlanders in Super Rugby and will join the Ospreys next season, having enjoyed a brief stint at the Scarlets in 2016. Wales coach Wayne Pivac is a big fan of the Welsh-qualified utility back, but Collins insists his full focus is on performing for the Ospreys.

Michael Flynn was proud of his rain-lashed Newport County heroes and claimed their Wembley shot at promotion is just reward for a year of playing by the rules and keeping their risk-taking to events on the field. Goals from substitutes Kevin Ellison, Joss Labadie and Nicky Maynard might not have been enough to win a thrilling League Two play-off semi-final second leg – they lost 4-3 in a dramatic clash at Forest Green Rovers – but they were sufficient to take the Exiles through to the final against Morecambe, with an epic 5-4 aggregate victory. Flynn said: “I am very proud. It has been a very tough year both on and off the pitch.

Chaz Davies saw his hopes of another top six finish in the opening weekend of World Superbikes dashed. The Powys-born rider crashed his Team Go Eleven bike on the opening lap of Sunday’s race as he was caught out by the damp conditions on the Motorland Aragon track.

Elfyn Evans powered to a crushing victory at Rally Portugal – the fourth triumph of his World Rally Championship career. The Dolgellau-born ace won by a commanding 28.3seconds from the Hyundai of Dani Sordo with his Toyota Gazoo Racing team-mate and seven-time champ Sebastien Ogier a massive one min 25.6 secs back in third.

Rob Howley believes Welsh rugby must sort out its player pathway if its teams are ever to compete again for Europe’s top prizes. The former Wales coach – who is back home on a break from his current job as assistant coach with Canada – has called for changes in the structure of the game he used to work in. With the two European finals having taken place this weekend, and the four Welsh regions as far away from success as ever, Howley insists only a shake-up of the current structure for younger players can solve the problem.

Cymru Premier veteran striker Mike Hayes fired Caernarfon Town into the Play-Off Final as the Gwynedd side proved too strong for Barry Town. Caernarfon are now just 90 minutes away from qualifying for Europe for the first time in their history and will face the winners of Penybont and Newtown who face each other at […]

Contracts and livelihoods, as well as a trip to Wembley, will be on the line for the Newport County players when they line-up for the second leg of their League Two play-off semi-final at Forest Green Rovers tonight. With all bar a handful of the squad out of contract at the end of this month, the Exiles manager Michael Flynn will instruct his players to go out and play for their lives at The New Lawn. “They are playing for their futures. There are players in our team who will comfortably get another club, but what level that is at is down to them,” said Flynn.

His time at Swansea has yielded more than 300 appearances over 10 consecutive seasons, but Wayne Routledge looks set to be cruelly denied the send-off he merits. The 36-year-old was stretchered off in the second half of last night’s 1-1 play-off draw with Barnsley, a result that ultimately sealed a final date with Brentford at Wembley next Saturday, having seemingly landed awkwardly on his knee. It’s an occasion Routledge is now almost certain to miss out on, and given he is out of contract in the summer, the scenes afterwards which saw him applauding the returning fans at the Liberty Stadium may inadvertently turn out to be his farewell to them.

Elfyn Evans is expecting a ‘tricky’ final day on RallyPortugal as he looks to celebrate his first World Rally Championship victory of the season. The Dolgellau born racer inherited the lead for Toyota on the penultimate stage of the rally on Saturday after Estonia’s Ott Tanak was forced to retire his Hyundai.

By Fraser Watson Swansea City manager Steve Cooper insisted, “3,000 felt like 35,000” as he praised the impact of the supporters who returned to the Liberty Stadium to see the hosts reach the Championship play-off final. Leading 1-0 from the first leg, Matt Grimes spectacularly doubled that advantage before the break but then Cauley Woodrow’s […]

Chaz Davies finished fifth for his new team as the World Superbikes season got underway with Jonathan Rea racing into the history books. The 34-year-old from Knighton was just edged out of fourth on the final lap at Motorland Aragon in Spain by former Aruba.it Racing team-mate Sco

Steve Cooper will hope to guide Swansea City to Wembley tonight with two Premier League clubs reportedly keen to consider him as their next head coach. West Bromwich Albion, whose relegation has been followed by the confirmation that Sam Allardyce is stepping down, are now being linked with a move for Cooper. That follows the interest Crystal Palace are understood to hold in taking Cooper to Selhurst Park as successor to Roy Hodgson.

The global pandemic has disrupted and upended sport wherever you look. But few professional sports clubs in Wales have been as deeply affected as the Cardiff Devils. Little more than a year ago they were on fire. Then came the big freeze. As a result, changes in the squad and management have left most Devils […]

All four clubs entering this weekend’s JD Cymru Premier Play-Offs will be quietly fancying their chances of European qualification as the Welsh football season draws to a close. South Wales clubs Penybont and Barry Town have secured home advantage by virtue of their league placing as they host Caernarfon Town and Newtown respectively, but there […]

Elfyn Evans is right in the hunt for victory on Rally Portugal after a dramatic finish to the opening day. The Dolgellau-born racer goes into Saturday’s speed tests in second place just six seconds behind Hyundai’s Ott Tanak.
