Cardiff Met may have their eyes firmly fixed on an impressive Welsh women’s football cup double, but Cardiff City skipper Siobhan Walsh claims the time is right for her club to get back on the winning trail. Five times the two teams have met this season and the Bluebirds haven’t been able to pick up a win to date. That list of failures also includes an agonising late defeat in the Genero Adran Trophy final.

By Paul Jones Nathan Jones insists he is determined to lead Luton Town into the Premier League – but does not rule out the possibility of one day managing in Wales. The Hatters boss has produced one of the more remarkable Championship stories of the season in taking a club with a tiny budget and […]

Steve Morison has promised a major overhaul at Cardiff City and the recruitment of players he says “understand the game.” The Cardiff manager has vowed to re-build his squad after pulling the club away from the Championship relegation zone, but failing to find regular consistency. That was highlighted by the club’s latest defeat – a 1-0 home defeat to Luton Town – which made it 12 home defeats for the Bluebirds this season, the joint highest in the Championship along with Hull.

Gareth Bale is counting down the days to the end of his time at Real Madrid – and he doesn’t have many to go. What next? Stuart Taylor believes the Cardiff City option makes sense, especially if you’re a Wales fan, but maybe less so if you’re his agent on a large commission. Why is Wales superstar Gareth Bale still being linked with a move to the Championship and Cardiff City in the summer? Well, for a start his Real Madrid nightmare will draw to a close in a few weeks’ time, as his current contract expires, and despite being touted as a target for any number of clubs, nothing has yet been agreed.

Steve Morison applauded his Cardiff City players after he admitted they had restored his energy following what he described as “an emotionally draining week.” Morison saw his team come from behind to win 2-1 at Reading and go some way to erasing the immediate memory of their 4-0 derby day humiliation at home to Swansea City seven days before. Striker Lucas Joao put the Royals ahead in the seventh minute when he nodded home an Andy Yiadom cross at the far post.

Steve Morison is hoping ‘the curse’ of the Manager of the Month award came early for him as he looks to move on from the derby double defeat last weekend. The fledgling Bluebirds boss was awarded the March award as Championship manager of the month earlier this week after masterminding 10 points for his club in March. Then came the crushing blow last weekend of a 4-0 home defeat to arch-rivals Swansea City that enabled them to become the first team in 110 years to complete a league double in the south Wales derby.

Both Cardiff and Swansea are miles away from the promotion picture and their seasons are dwindling to a close. But, there is success for a certain Welshman in Nathan Jones, who is miraculously looking to guide Luton Town to the promised land of the Premier League. Daniel Parker has been finding out about a Welsh managerial great in the making. 

Michael Obafemi revealed he was driven by the desire to make history after his two-goal raid inked his name into Welsh football folklore. The Swansea City striker bookended a stunning victory for his club against their bitterest rivals and now his name – and his club’s 4-0 win at Cardiff City – will be talked about in Wales for years. Not only did it help Swansea debunk the well-worn statistic that neither club had ever managed a league double over the other in 110 years of trying, but it was Swansea’s biggest derby victory for 73 years.

Michael Obafemi has transformed his character as much as his goal return in the past few weeks at Swansea City. That was the assessment of his head coach Russell Martin after Obafemi drove a bulldozer through a stacked 110-year history between Welsh football’s biggest clubs to leave Cardiff City’s recent revival in ruins. The Swansea striker scored his team’s first and last goals as they totally outclassed their rivals with a 4-0 away win – their biggest Welsh derby victory since 1949.

Russell Martin has urged his Swansea City players to grasp the opportunity to become history-makers in the derby at Cardiff City on Saturday. The Swans head coach has suggested the chance to become the first Welsh team to do a league “double” over their rival should be another motivating factor when his team visit the Cardiff City Stadium. Following the Swans’ 3-0 victory in the reverse fixture in October, the visitors have the chance to complete the first league double in the 110-year history of the fixture.

By Harry Corish Rubin Colwill will start on the bench for Cardiff City tomorrow in the South Wales derby after manager Steve Morison insisted he would not get carried away by the hype. Colwill scored his first goal for Wales against the Czech Republic in midweek in an impressive first home start. But despite a […]

Rabbi Matondo is learning the knuckleball secrets from Gareth Bale a year after a knucklehead decision cost him his place in the Wales squad. Matondo is set to face the Czech Republic on Tuesday, as Wales seek to ride the wave from their stunning Bale-inspired World Cup play-off victory over Austria. But only 12 months ago, Matondo was sent home by manager Rob Page for breaking a hotel curfew, along with Hal Robson-Kanu and Tyler Roberts, and his international future was in doubt.
