Welsh international Charlie Hulson continued his run of fine form as he backed up his second place in the Armagh 5k with a convincing win in the Brecon Carreg Cardiff Bay 10K. Although not as quick as he ran in winning the Telford 10K in January (28:12), the Liverpool Harrier made the most of the sunshine in the Welsh capital to lead home a field of 4,683 starters to take the tape in 29:32 – 26 seconds faster than he ran in winning the Chester 10K earlier in the month. Scott Overall ensured the early pace was hot enough to ensure a battle for the podium places, but Hulson was able to break clear at 8K to hold off Cardiff AAC’s Matt Clowes to win by five seconds. Overall was third in 29:48.

Cardiff Devils almost certainly said farewell to Andrew Lord the player in their final Elite League match of the season at Ice Arena Wales.

Adam Jones has announced he will retire at the end of the season and move into coaching. The 37-year-old former Wales and Lions prop will become Harlequins’ assistant forwards coach next season, working alongside forwards coach Graham Rowntree. It will bring an end to a glittering playing career for Jones, who won four Six Nations titles and three Grand Slams with Wales – while being capped 95 times – and toured with the Lions in 2009 and 2013.

Osian Pryce made a stunning historic rally debut on the 2WD Rally North Wales by finishing fourth first time out in a 1978 Escort Mk2 – with only a rear puncture robbing the 25-year old Machynlleth-born driver of a second place finish. In addition to his impressive MSA British Historic Rally Championship debut, Pryce also finished third overall (second 2WD) in the Pirelli MSA Welsh Rally Championship standings to maintain his overall lead in the series. Co-driven by Dale Furniss, Osian had won Rally North Wales last year and was keen to tackle his local rally again – but this time by fulfilling a boyhood dream of contesting a rally in an iconic Escort Mk2. A brief test at the Sweet Lamb Rally Complex the day before was all Osian had before starting the 45 stage mile event, which was played out over the fast, smooth and slippery Dyfi, Big Ray and Gartheiniog gravel tests. Pryce was quickly into his stride, setting fourth fastest time on SS1, equalling event favourite Nick Elliott’s time on SS2 and completing SS3 in second position – just 13 seconds behind the experienced Elliott.

Harry Wilson is desperate to show he is ready for Liverpool and Wales after Craig Bellamy questioned the decision to cap him as a 16-year-old. Wilson broke Gareth Bale’s record to become Wales’ youngest-ever player at the age of 16 years and 207 days when he made a cameo appearance against Belgium in October 2013 – the final game of Bellamy’s 78-cap career. The dual-qualified Liverpool midfielder had attracted interest from England, and Bellamy said after that Brussels draw he was uncomfortable with fast-tracking the teenager into the senior squad to tie him to Wales.

Danny Wilson believes his Cardiff Blues team are rolling into form at exactly the right time as they chase two trophies. The Blues coach – who is leaving to join Wasps at the end of the season – paid tribute to his players after what he called a “dominant” performance in beating Ulster 35-17 at the Arms Park on Saturday. The victory was the Blues’ fifth in succession and leaves them just three points off third-place in Conference A of the Guinness Pro14.

Only a late intervention from Scarlets head coach Wayne Pivac averted a major clash of loyalties and saved his side from losing one of their most influential players.

It hardly seems two years ago that Cardiff was hosting the IAAF World Half Marathon Championships, but the world’s elite distance runners will be chasing the title once again in Valencia this weekend.

He was one of four athletes to break the one hour mark despite torrential rain and high winds.
