Newport County showed no FA Cup hangover after their win over Leeds as they beat Grimsby 2-1 on their return to Sky Bet League Two action. Robbie Willmott’s first-half strike and Frank Nouble’s deflected effort moved County to within two points off the play-offs, while Jamille Matt gave Grimsby some hope late on before being sent off. New signing Josh Sheehan was an unused substitute but believes he has two more games to prove he is worth a place against Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup.

Carlos Carvalhal insisted his Swansea City side were denied a penalty and a red card for Newcastle United due to a lack of video technology. The Swans manager believes Saturday’s 1-1 draw at St, James’ Park might have yielded a different outcome – and two more crucial points towards Premier League survival – if a video assistant referee system had been in place. The result leaves the club still bottom of the table and four points from the safety mark with 15 games remaining.

Dragons skills coach Barry Maddocks says his side must be ready to muscle up when they face Bordeaux-Begles in France on Saturday night. Head coach Bernard Jackman has made 10 changes to the team thrashed by the Scarlets last week, knowing a victory will put them second in Challenge Cup Pool 1 with one game to play. Maddocks said: “It’s no secret that the French league is a power-based game with big packs dominating territory so we will be looking to play an expansive game.

Wayne Pivac paid tribute to his scintillating Scarlets after they tore Bath apart to put themselves close to the knockout stages of the European Champions Cup. Pivac watched his team win 35-17 at The Rec on Friday night with a display as impressive as anything a Welsh region has produced for over a decade in Europe. The Scarlets scored four tries in a rampaging exhibition of flowing rugby to deliver a bonus point and put them top of Pool Five.

Newport County are aiming to put former Cardiff City manager Russell Slade under increasing pressure this weekend.

Chris Holroyd and Scott Boden are together again – and they’re gunning for goals to keep Wrexham in the promotion chase. The two strikers played alongside each other for Boden’s home-town club Macclesfield and now they are leading the Dragons’ charge. Yorkshireman Holvey, 31, fired a hat-trick in Wrexham’s 4-0 home win against Dover Athletic, […]

Porthmadog entertain Caersws at the Traeth and they are keen to continue their free-scoring exploits. They have fired 12 goals in their last two fixtures, netting seven against Llandudno Junction and then winning 5-4 win at Rhyl. Joe Chaplin marked his return with a hat-trick against Rhyl, while Sion Bradley and Sion Edwards completed their […]

Ryan Giggs has become a stronger favourite to succeed Chris Coleman as Wales manager following interviews for the job conducted by the FAW. Giggs’ odds with the bookmakers have shortened after the former Manchester United star put his case to a selection panel on Friday, along with fellow candidates Osian Roberts, Craig Bellamy and late contender Mark Bowen.

This time last year Jack Roberts was in Paris playing Champions Cup rugby with Leicester Tigers against Dan Carter’s Racing 92 superstars. Twelve months on the north Bangor-born, Llandovery College educated centre will be hoping to kick-start his Cardiff Blues career with an appearance against Leinster A in the British & Irish Cup at Sardis Road. It is not the route into the big-time in Welsh rugby that Roberts had been hoping for after returning home from the Tigers. Injuries have restricted him to a mere 22 minutes of first-team action at Blues after he suffered a knee injury on his Guinness PRO14 debut against Munster in September.
