Youth World Championships sailor Hatty Morsley has been crowned as the RYA regional youth champion for Wales.

Dai Greene is back on the medal trail after clocking his fastest 400 hurdles time since 2013 to book his ticket to a record-equalling fourth Commonwealth Games in Australia in April. The 31-year-old, who struck gold at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, got inside the required Welsh Athletics ‘A’ Standard for the Gold Coast as he clocked 49.49 sec to win a local race in South Africa. It was a mere hundredth of second off the time he needed to beat, 49.50 sec, and continued his progress.

A storm is brewing in Cardiff Bay. The Beast from the North of England are intent on stirring up emotions at Ice Arena Wales. Coach Ryan Finnerty and his Manchester Storm mean machine – big, tough and highly skilled – are intent on ensuring a cold front hits Cardiff Devils. A sell-out attendance of 3,000-plus […]

Kris Jones delivered himself an early birthday present as he wrote his name into the record books as the first Welshman to win the Scottish Cross Country title in 132 years with victory in Falkirk. The Swansea Harrier, who also runs for Dundee Hawkhill Harriers, turns 27 on 4 March and he took full advantage of the absence of reigning champion Callum Hawkins to move up from second last year to the top of the podium in 2018 as he completed the 10k course in 33 min 05 sec, to win by 24 seconds from Lachlan Oates. Welsh international Jones recovered from finding himself stuck much further back in the field than he would have liked at the start and soon moved his way to the head of affairs on a bright, crisp and sunny day at Callander Park.

Carlos Carvalhal’s Wembley dream is close to his heart – literally – and he proved the point after Swansea City moved into the FA Cup quarter-finals on Tuesday night. The Swans manager guided the club into the last eight of the competition for the first time since 1964 after a 2-0 victory over his former club Sheffield Wednesday. Asked afterwards if his players can start dreaming of Wembley, Carvalhal opened his blazer and showed the words embroidered on the lining under his inside pocket.

As the analysts continue to pour over the video footage from last weekend’s Six Nations games, Seimon Williams from Gwladrugby has been doing his own homework on Wales’ defeat to Ireland. If you thought some of those decisions by referee Glen Jackson looked a bit strange, then you were not alone.  I’ve been following rugby for nigh on 40 years. My earliest memories of being taken to Stradey Park and St. Helen’s are of the smells of wintergreen and pipe tobacco and damp wool pullovers and sheepskin coats, and of the shouts of the crowd as old men implored their team –  among the inevitable spotting of the opposition going over the top, every time ref – to “play the referee”. We’ve previously written about the complexities of the game’s law book. The role of the referee has changed. They are now required to “manage” the game, to consider the “materiality” of any possible offences, ignoring others in the name of allowing some rugby to occur.

The Welshman at the helm of one of Poland’s biggest football clubs insists he remains committed to his job as the Wales national team fitness coach – if Ryan Giggs chooses to keep him on. For the last seven years, Adam Owen, from Wrexham, has been a fixture of Wales’ backroom staff as fitness coach […]

Andrew Lord has made an emotional plea to Cardiff Devils fans ahead of two matches on home ice in three days which will define their season.

On a weekend of high-scoring games involving all four sides, Penarth Hockey Club 1st XI took another important step towards promotion to the top flight of the regional GoCrea8 League, but might not be the only side celebrating at the end of the season… PENARTH 5-3 Exeter University ‘B’

Carlos Carvalhal would enjoy a return to Wembley – if only to erase the memories of his last trip there. The Swansea City manager – whose team host his former club Sheffield Wednesday in an FA Cup 5th round replay on Tuesday night – took the opposition to a play-off final in 2016 where they lost to Hull City. But Carvalhal has revealed he has returned to Wembley since then – for a personal hearing on an FA disciplinary charge last October.

Scarlets coach Wayne Pivac insists Blade Thomson will sharpen up his pack next season, despite the forward’s history of injury problems. The Guinness Pro 14 champions have signed the Hurricanes back row forward on a two-year deal to cover the forthcoming losses of John Barclay and Tadgh Beirne. Thomson was on the fringes of the All Blacks squad two years ago, but two serious shoulder injuries halted his progress and he has only made 40 Super Rugby appearances since 2013.

Rhys Enoch held his nerve to hole a stunning birdie on the final hole and claim the biggest win – and pay-day – of his golfing career at the Cape Town Open. The 29-year-old Welshman won by a single shot from South Africa’s Peter Karmis to clinch victory with a 19-under par total – and a first prize of £14,600 to take his total on the Sunshine Tour this year to £18,000. The Cardiff-based golfer, who is attached to Celtic Manor, shot rounds of 64, 69, 67 and 69 to move up to No.382 in the official world rankings. His final round of 69 was three under par.
