Glamorgan are up and running. Not much more than a gentle jog, but they do have their first draw of the season and, with a change of format, Dai Sport columnist Richard Thomas reckons the county could soon be hitting their stride. Better news this week for Glamorgan, then, and confirmation, also, that they may not be, despite mounting pessimism among some Welsh cricket fans, the worst side to ever pick up bat and ball. That current tag must surely go to the China national team, who were bowled out for just 28 by Saudi Arabia, going down to a 390-run defeat in a 50-over contest in Thailand.

The rugby team has underpinned selection once again for the Lions with Warren Gatland as head coach and Sam Warburton as captain for the second successive time. Wales has truly stood out as a sporting nation, and with success has come financial reward, but so much is owed to many who laid the foundations with their own sacrifices.
