North-Walian all-rounder David Lloyd believes  Glamorgan can bounce back from the disappointment of their two-run defeat against Somerset on Sunday in the Royal London One-Day Cup. Having slumped to 21 for five at one stage, the middle-order and tail made up for a dismal top-order batting display, which subsequently saw Marnus Labuschagne, Charlie Hemphrey and Kiran Carlson selected for the Second XI against Somerset’s Second XI at Taunton Vale on Tuesday. Following his 68 against Hampshire, Lloyd hit 84 from 93 balls, Graham Wagg struck 62 and Lukas Carey made a valiant 39 in the closing stages on Sunday.

Wales international David Pipe could yet end his professional playing career on a spectacular high.

Can Elfyn Evans clinch victory in Argentina this weekend, two years after missing out on winning there by one of the smallest margins ever recorded in the history of FIA World Rally Championship? The 30-year old Dolgellau ace clipped a bridge on the final stage in 2017, and that loss of momentum was enough to drop him behind Thierry Neuville at the finish line – by just 0.7 seconds, after over three and a half hours of flat-out competition. Evans bounced back to record his first WRC win on Wales Rally GB later that year – although that remains his one and only victory so far.

James Hook insists the Ospreys are confident they can beat Cardiff Blues on Saturday – whether or wherever their rivals decide to play Gareth Anscombe. Hook will be one of those players affected by Ancombe’s move from the Arms Park to the Liberty Stadium next season.

Lee Peltier insists Cardiff City can keep their heads above the relegation waters with a flood of points in their last three matches. Tuesday night’s late 1-0 victory for Tottenham over Brighton has left Cardiff three points behind the Seagulls with both clubs now having played the same number of games. The Bluebirds lost 2-0 to Liverpool on Easter Sunday, but a victory at Fulham on Saturday would draw them level on 34 points with Brighton, who host in-form Newcastle later in the evening. Brighton have failed to score in their last seven games.

British GT Championship returnee Seb Morris made a tremendous start to the 2019 season at a bright and sunny Oulton Park International Circuit on Easter Monday with a fantastic opening round victory on his maiden race outing with new JRM Bentley Continental team. Reuniting the 2017 championship-winning ‘dream team’ driving partnership with Rick Parfitt Jnr, Wrexham-born Morris excelled at his local track in glorious Bank Holiday weather as the duo secured an excellent victory in the first of two 60-minute encounters. “I was really happy with race one and the whole weekend to be honest”, said Morris. “In qualifying we were given a slow BOP [Balance of Performance], so we thought it would be a tough weekend, but the race went better than we could’ve dreamt – it’s amazing to have won our first race with JRM who did an incredible job.”
