Glamorgan’s young opening batsman Jack Murphy says he feels he let his side and himself down in the six-wicket defeat to Kent despite following the rare feat of carrying his bat in the first innings with a career-best in the second. It was a mixed bag for the 22 year-old Pembrokeshire product, who has switched from opening bowler to opening batsman in recent seasons.

1) This was no Cup final. Some had called this fixture with the grimmest of consequences a Cup final, but that was not an apt description since this always felt more about the jeopardy than the glory. It more resembled a final attempt to avoid obliteration by two diminished prize fighters who knew the loser had nowhere to go – like David Haye versus Audley Harrison.

It has reached the point of no return for Swansea City, but manager Carlos Carvalhal insists his players will keep control of their Premier League destiny on Tuesday night. A defeat or draw at home to fellow plug-hole balancers Southampton will suddenly remove any ability for the Swans to stop themselves being washed away down the Premier League waste pipe. Should the worst happen and Carvalhal’s team lose then they will be relying on Huddersfield to lose against both Chelsea and Arsenal, in order to survive on goal difference if the Swans can beat Stoke in their final game.

A powerful offensive performance saw the South Wales Warriors score seven touchdowns against their visitors from the English south coast whose ineffective attack could have been from the Jurassic age.  The Warriors had put three first half touchdowns on the board before the Jurassic Coast Raptors finally managed to make any offensive headway in the second quarter through their conservative, ‘double wing’ rushing offense.  Warriors headcoach Geraint Roberts called the century old attack “awful” on the eye and his opposite number Mark Newell conceded the system, with all offensive players tightly packed together, isn’t a “big play offense”.

After one of the greatest finals in its history, Mark Williams is world snooker champion again after beating John Higgins, 18-16 at the Crucible. It’s a comeback story to end them all – bridging a 15 year gap since 43-year-old Williams last won the title. It also continues Wales’ proud history in the sport as Rob Cole outlines. The World Professional Snooker title used to be the preserve of the Davises, but the Williamses have now well and truly muscled in on the act. Mark Williams picked up a cheque for £425,000 for his 18-16 win over John Higgins to bridge a 15 year gap from his second win. Not bad for someone who didn’t even qualify for the 2017 event, watched it on TV “with a few beers in a caravan” and was close to quitting last year.
