-It's a huge financial year

-for the Premier league.

-These discussions have been

-taking place for a while.

-It's another reason why people at

-Swansea City are safe in the league.

-To the Welsh Premier League next.

-It's been more competitive

-at the top this season.

-The New Saints have usually

-already won the league by now.

-Yesterday,

-they met second-placed Bala Town.

-They were five points clear

-with three to play.

-If they won, they were champions.

-If they lost, it really would be

-squeaky bum time.

-Burke will take the

-first corner for Bala Town.

-He tries to find Jones.

-Rawlinson with the clearance.

-Back in it comes

-and everyone is onside.

-It's come off the post.

-Stuart Jones was

-at the centre of the action.

-It was a hopeful ball into the box.

-Stuart Jones got the header.

-Williams to Edwards.

-That's a nice little pass.

-Edwards!

-Off the bar which

-continues to shake.

-Somehow the game remains goalless.

-Valentine is sticking

-to his job of marking Mullan.

-Mullan has done really well there.

-He gets the cross away

-and Aeron Edwards shoots.

-How can he have missed?

-He lost his bearings in terms of

-the position of the goal.

-It's the last minute of the half.

-Brobbel and Quigley.

-Cleared by Valentine.

-Spender is going to have a go.

-It was curling away from the goalie.

-Thirty metres out, mind.

-He's unlikely to beat the goalie

-from that distance.

-SECOND HALF

-Aeron Edwards has it.

-Quigley is being marked

-by Stuart Jones.

-Through the legs of Jones.

-Excellent.

-Quigley is still going. What a run!

-Brobbel.

-TNS have one hand

-resting on the league trophy.

-They lead 1-0.

-It's a great run by Quigley.

-You can't allow a man like this

-to turn around and run at you.

-Quigley gets moving and

-everyone's afraid to challenge him.

-He sets it up for Brobbel.

-Brobbel has too much time

-to set himself before shooting.

-Stuart Jones will be very

-disappointed with himself.

-You can't allow the man two touches

-eight metres in front of the goal.

-Well done, Brobbel.

-He clinically passed

-the ball into the net.

-That's a good pass by Brobbel.

-Mullan is looking for support.

-Quigley is sprinting into the box.

-That's a good save but

-it still hasn't been cleared.

-Aeron Edwards is calling for it.

-He has it now and a

-second goal would kill this game.

-Seargeant. There's no offside.

-He's put it wide of the post.

-It's not Aeron's afternoon.

-It was set up perfectly for him.

-His control of the ball

-is first class.

-He has to score.

-TNS are the only club to concede

-fewer goals than Bala this season.

-Paul Harrison

-has kept 16 clean sheets.

-Aeron Edwards!

-That goal secures the fifth league

-title in a row for The New Saints.

-He passed the ball into the net.

-He's been knocking on the door.

-He's finally scored.

-That's a good example of

-perseverance paying dividends.

-Adrian Cieslewicz did the hard work.

-He spotted Aeron Edwards making

-his usual late runs into the box.

-Look at the style and technique.

-He keeps his head, doesn't panic

-and passes it into the corner.

-The dragons are lifted skywards

-and the champagne corks pop.

-These celebrations have been earned.

-The New Saints claim their

-tenth Welsh league title.

-More amazingly that that, this

-is their fifth consecutive title.

-As good as it was the first time.

-I remember winning that one here

-against Bangor on the final day.

-As players, coaches and

-administrators at this club...

-..we've shown that

-we have a relentless streak.

-We want to win everything.

-That's what we have done up to now.

-It's brilliant.

-It's what we want

-to do every season.

-Getting through Bala

-was difficult today...

-..but we got there

-and we're all delighted.

-Great to get my first league win.

-Some of the boys

-have been here a while longer.

-I'm really happy. It was a

-good time to get my first goal too.

-Having won five titles in a row.

-What's the next target for the club?

-To win the next title.

-Next up, winning the Welsh Cup.

-And then, obviously, Europe.

-A very familiar scene. TNS and

-champagne at Park Hall.

-They are going for the

-treble once again.

-It was a bit closer this season.

-They are Heads and shoulders

-above everyone else.

-Bala Town have been

-brilliant since November.

-As The Gap got smaller,

-TNS went up the gears.

-They smashed Connah's Quay in

-the cup last week.

-TNS will probably bring

-in some new players.

-They will want to keep

-the squad fresh,

-something they didn't do

-last summer.

-Their Fifth Successive Title And

-10th in their history.

-Here are those titles.

-They have won nine of the

-last 12 league titles.

-Man United used to do this in the

-Premier league. Everyone hated them.

-TNS are in the business of winning.

-Craig Harrison said they want

-to win the next Title.

-We Always See these cycles

-of clubs dominating.

-At the moment, TNS looks like

-they will win every time.

-More football after the break,

-with Wrexham facing Dover.

-there's plenty more to play for.

-with Friday night's games.

-Buckley receives the ball.

-Buckley tries his luck.

-What a mistake by Jones.

-Buckley tried his luck

-and it was in!

-those three points mean to them.

-It's a huge game between

-There are three

-in the race for seventh.

-Aberystwyth and Carmarthen

-clash next weekend.

-Will Port Talbot's failure

-to secure a license...

-..offer an escape from relegation

-for Rhyl or Haverfordwest?

-We'll have to wait for the

-Steelmen's appeal for the answer.

-The race for seventh spot is

-going to be exciting.

-Some people criticise the split

-halfway through The Season.

-It is interesting when

-It gets this close.

-Otherwise the season would be

-over for the bottom six.

-The momentum of winning seventh spot

-could give them a European spot.

-Bala Town and Llandudno

-meet next Saturday.

-Bala knows that the next battle

-is just as important.

-Bala Town would've known that the

-Llandudno's season has been

-incredible.

-

-Of course we can.

-It's got a little bit tougher.

-I thought there might be a little

-slip up in the remaining fixtures.

-We could get away with one more slip

-and that's today's result.

-We have to win the next four.

-Tranmere's win against Torquay...

-..means Wrexham are

-six points off the play-offs.

-They have to beat Guiseley

-on Tuesday night.

-The manager expected a

-loss at some point.

-summer. Thanks for your time today.

-This is where you get your hunger.

-We are St Colmcilles, Cardiff

-and we're a Gaelic football club.

-Let's go! Let's go!

-We're celebrating

-our 60th anniversary.

-The club was started in 1956.

-There was a large Irish settlement

-in the area.

-They probably wanted to create

-a bit of a home away from home.

-There's no better way to do that...

-..than to start a Gaelic football

-or hurling club.

-It's a mixture between rugby,

-Aussie rules football and soccer.

-We play with a round ball.

-We've got points and goals.

-You can kick between the posts

-for a point...

-which is worth three points.

-More dispossessive.

-It's a very fast paced game.

-Fitness levels,

-depending on what league you play...

-..will vary from team to team

-and league to league.

-I want to see you

-shoulder to shoulder.

-To anybody coming over

-from Ireland...

-..a GAA club seems to be their first

-port of call.

-Instantly they gain familiarity

-with the surrounding area...

-..and they'll have

-a community around them.

-There are 97 clubs in the UK

-but we're the only one in Wales.

-You get a lot of warmth.

-You're always made welcome.

-a big social environment.

-In recent years, we've picked up

-a lot of new players of all levels.

-From players that would play

-a high level back home...

-..to guys who've never played

-before.

-We're not just solely Irish-based.

-If there are others who want to take

-the game up...

-..whether Welsh or English,

-or students coming from all over...

-..it'd be brilliant.

-Hopefully we can continue to be

-a beacon to anybody moving over.

-They can come along,

-meet people and gain friends.

-The pinnacle for us

-would be a Welsh league...

-..where you've got

-not just solely one team from Wales.

-Where you've maybe got five, six,

-Welcome back to Clwb, live on S4C.

-We have cricket next.

-The summer is approaching.

-The flowers are blooming - including

-the daffodil on Glamorgan shirts.

-The squad were looking forward

-to the new season this week.

-Clwb sent the legend

-that is Edward Bevan to see them.

-It's windy here in Cardiff

-and there's the threat of rain.

-That must mean the

-cricket season is about to start.

-I've been following the adventures

-of Glamorgan for the last 26 years.

-What are the hopes for this season?

-Congratulations, Robert.

-You must be looking forward to

-the new season as the head coach.

-I'm looking forward to it just

-as much as the rest of the squad.

-We've been working hard over the

-winter and the season is upon us.

-The summer is coming and

-we want to play some good cricket.

-When I heard

-there was a job going...

-..I knew there

-was a good academy here...

-..and a lot of support for them

-in the coaching staff.

-I thought it was a good time

-to take on the job.

-What will you be

-asking of the players?

-I want Glamorgan to compete

-every time they take to the field.

-We want to win every game.

-That's a tough target to set.

-If the boys put everything into

-every game then it will go well.

-You have experienced players

-like Rudolph, the captain...

-..and Wagg who did

-so well last season.

-You also have quite

-a few youngsters breaking through.

-Best of all, some of them

-are Welsh, like David Lloyd.

-They are working their way in.

-We have a good mix right now.

-We want those academy players

-breaking through...

-..but they have to be good enough

-to play first class cricket.

-It's tough this year

-because only one team...

-..will be promoted in

-the four-day competition.

-There's a lot of work to do.

-It's perfectly clear what

-we have to do to gain promotion.

-It was close last year...

-..until we lost a bit of form

-at the end of the season.

-We have a stronger squad

-which gives us a great chance.

-I hope we're congratulating you...

-..on winning everything

-at the end of the season.

-Welcome back, Jacques. Your

-second stint as Glamorgan captain.

-Excited?

-Very much so.

-For the first time in all my years

-of playing county cricket...

-..It's nice to arrive earlier,

-even if it is quite cold.

-It's nice to settle in

-and spend some time with the guys.

-It's nice to get to

-know the wickets a bit...

-..rather than arriving

-and diving straight in.

-There's a great vibe at the club.

-Things are moving

-in the right direction.

-The guys are

-looking forward to the season.

-Last year, we played

-very well together as a team.

-We won a few games

-from potentially losing positions.

-Shaun Tait

-is a great signing for us.

-He's a very fast bowler.

-Nice not to have to face it?

-As a captain, it's nice to have...

-..a player like him available

-to see if he can get a wicket.

-He'll be a

-great addition to our team.

-You are confident

-of a successful season.

-100%.

-It's nice to be here early

-and settled in with the guys.

-Most of the batsmen

-are in good nick.

-The bowlers are bowling well.

-Hopefully, we'll get off to a flying

-start on Monday against the MCC.

-Good to see,

-even though you are shivering.

-You've made two very

-popular appointments pre-season.

-Robert Croft as the new coach and

-Alan Jones as the new president.

-Two Welsh speakers.

-Two great Glamorgan people

-through and through.

-Robert is one of the most

-successful cricketers...

-..that Glamorgan has ever produced.

-He's someone the players

-will respond to.

-He's started life as head coach

-in a very positive way.

-He's had good experiences...

-..as assistant coach

-in the last two years.

-He's also spent 12 days with England

-as part of the coaching team.

-We have high hopes of Robert.

-Alan is someone

-we've all looked up to.

-He has scored more runs

-for the club than anybody.

-No-one will beat

-some of his batting records.

-He's a fantastic man as well as

-being one of the club legends.

-We're delighted that

-he's going to be president.

-We've heard from the

-Chief executive, Hugh Morris...

-..the coach, Robert Croft

-and the captain, Jacques Rudolph.

-I think Glamorgan will finish third

-in the county championship.

-I hope they'll make at least the

-last eight in the T20 competition.

-Their new demon bowler from Holland,

-Timm van der Gugten takes his bow.

-They are hoping for

-big things from him.

-There's an age-old tradition

-being done away with this season.

-The pre-match toss

-is being eliminated...

-..to try and improve

-the standard of pitches.

-The visiting side now gets

-the option to bowl first.

-If they decline, then they do toss.

-That should stop counties doctoring

-pitches to suit their players.

-It should make for fairer cricket.

-As Dylan said,

-after this week's friendly...

-..Glamorgan get under way

-against Leicestershire next week.

-Yorkshire will be trying...

-..to win the county championship

-for the third season in a row.

-Since Jason Gillespie

-took over as head coach...

-..they've only lost four

-games out of sixty four.

-Quite a record.

-Tottenham have taken The lead.

-Jamie Donaldson has started his

-final round in the Masters.

-Liverpool have won by

-four goals to one.

-Joe Allen had a very

-good game today.

-It's a simple game sometimes.

-Netball next and

-the British Premier League.

-The only Welsh team,

-The Celtic Dragons...

-..clashed with favourites,

-Surrey Storm this weekend.

-Surrey had won

-their last four games...

-..whilst The Dragons

-had lost their last four.

-Dot Davies followed the action.

-Kelly Morgan is captain today

-because Suzy Drane is ill.

-The Celtic Dragons need some points

-as they trail 5-0.

-There has been some passing

-between Goal Attack, Rusivakula...

-..and Bethan Dyke on the Wing.

-The home team get a chance

-to secure the first point.

-Georgia Rowe prepares to take it

-and succeeds.

-The Dragons are on the scoreboard.

-The Dragons push on.

-What a pass from Bethan Dyke!

-Rusivakula takes it,

-succeeding to make it 5-2.

-Surrey have the opportunity now.

-They're third in the league.

-This is Georgia Lees

-taking it slowly.

-No problem.

-Surrey are in the lead 16-14.

-Is there an opportunity here

-for The Dragons?

-Kelly Morgan makes a simple pass

-to Rusivakula...

-..who discovers Rowe again.

-The Dragons are back

-within two points.

-Is there a hope for another point

-before the end of the quarter?

-A bit of pushing there.

-The quarter is over.

-The Dragons can go for the goal.

-That point brings the Dragons

-within a point.

-SECOND QUARTER

-Kelly Morgan is working hard

-as captain today.

-Bethan Dyke finds Afa Rusivakula.

-She levels the scores.

-It's 18-18.

-The Dragons are raising the tempo.

-They want to take the lead for the

-first time.

-Good interplay

-between Morgan and Rusivakula.

-They have a good understanding.

-Rusivakula will take her time

-and concentrate.

-No problem. It's 19-18.

-The Dragons

-are playing with confidence now.

-Georgia Rowe

-wants to extend the lead.

-She had a 100% shooting record

-in the first quarter.

-She makes it 20-18.

-Surrey will not give up easily.

-A good pass from Sophia Candappa

-to Pamela Cookey.

-Surrey are back in front.

-This is close.

-Surrey have an eye on the play-offs.

-They speed things up.

-The Dragons give Surrey a chance

-to regain the lead.

-Another opportunity

-for Pamela Cookey.

-She goes for the net and scores.

-The Dragons area point behind.

-Half-time is approaching.

-The Dragons are pressing here.

-Is there a chance here?

-No!

-The home team trail

-by 29-32 at half-time.

-SECOND HALF

-This is a poor period

-for the Dragons.

-Surrey seem

-to be going up the gears.

-Every pass seems

-to be finding its mark.

-Georgia Lees somehow

-finds Rachel Dunn.

-An easy score for her as they score

-their sixth consecutive point.

-Surely, they won't score again.

-The Dragons have had no answer

-to the last eight points for Storm.

-Dunn adds a ninth consecutive point.

-The Dragons have responded

-in this third quarter.

-Surrey are 15 points clear.

-Georgia Rowe

-will want to strike back.

-She's done it.

-Fourth Quarter.

-The damage was done

-in the third quarter.

-The Dragons are lifting

-the spirits of the Cardiff crowd.

-What a pass!

-Rusivakula cuts the lead

-to 10 points. 48-58.

-The victory has been secured.

-Pamela Cookey hits the net as the

-horn sounds the end of the game.

-Celtic Dragons 53-68 Surrey Storm.

-Disappointed that there was one

-passage of play in the third period.

-That let us down.

-We talked about coming out strong

-after half-time.

-Unfortunately,

-a few things didn't go our way.

-We didn't respond to that.

-A couple of errors resulted in

-a long run of points for Surrey.

-That victory secures Surrey Storm

-a place in the play-offs with...

-..Manchester Thunder, Bath

-and Hertfordshire Mavericks.

-The Celtic Dragons are still

-one off the bottom with six points.

-Tottenham Hotspur are now 3-0 up.

-They will be pushing Leicester City

-all the way at The Top.

-during the British and Irish Cup.

-Pontypridd and Bedwas met at the

-Brewery Field, Bridgend yesterday.

-Pontypridd have stolen the ball.

-After a promising start from Bedwas,

-Pontypridd are finding their way.

-They are claiming more possession.

-Harri Millard to the fullback,

-Geraint Walsh.

-He sidesteps and yes, it's a try.

-The opening try is scored

-under the posts.

-The former Blues fullback has scored

-to put Pontypridd in front 6-0.

-Pontypridd drove through the line

-before going wide to Sweeney...

-..before finding Geraint Walsh,

-who sidestepped...

-..leaving Garyn Payne

-on his backside to score.

-Clean ball at the front

-sets up the rolling maul.

-Is it a try?

-Yes, it is, the referee, Sean

-Brickell, has awarded the try.

-Matthew Pettit, the prop wearing

-three, has claimed it.

-A perfect move saw the second

-row claim the ball from the line.

-A training ground move.

-Sweeney looks for Lockyer.

-Dafydd Lockyer makes the break

-and offloads to Rhys Shellard.

-The former Wales sevens captain

-scores Pontypridd's second try.

-Sweeney played the scissors

-move with Dafydd Lockyer.

-Lockyer offloaded nicely

-to Shellard...

-..who, like ever flanker worth

-his salt, was there in support.

-Sweeney. Lockyer with the long ball

-over the top to Geraint Walsh.

-Two against one as it goes

-to the winger, Williams.

-Williams breaks the tackle.

-The ball is back inside

-and it's a try for Harri Millard.

-The try is awarded

-despite Bedwas' protestations.

-Maybe the defender was prevented

-from making the tackle.

-A great pass from Lockyer

-eventually came to Lewis I Williams.

-Williams broke the tackle from Garyn

-Payne before feeding Harri Millard.

-The star of the Wales U20 side

-scored.

-Pontypridd have fully controlled

-this first half.

-Raikes, the scrum half,

-takes responsibility.

-Sweeney to Millard,

-who goes outside his man!

-A chance for Harri Millard!

-Brilliant footwork

-gives him his second try.

-A fourth try for Pontypridd.

-Nothing looked on for Ponty

-before Raikes gave it to Sweeney...

-..who then found Harri Millard.

-His run completely fooled the

-defence as he went outside his man.

-A second try for the 19-year-old.

-Sweeney to Harri Millard,

-who breaks through the middle.

-Can he score his hat-trick?

-He sidesteps

-and scores under the posts.

-Out to Lee.

-The try has been awarded.

-George Lee, the flanker,

-emerges with the ball.

-and Bedwas are back in the game.

-and kicked into the corner.

-Geraint Walsh

-should have claimed it.

-The replacement

-won the race and scored.

-Dixon deep to Matthew John.

-Aled Brew finds the gap.

-Brew is through the tackle

-and what a try!

-That's why he is in the side

-and why he has played for Wales.

-Bedwas with some patient build-up

-and Brew had plenty to do.

-He forced his way through the tackle

-and did well to stretch and score.

-What a game. Ten tries were scores

-but Pontypridd are the champions.

-There were only two Principality

-Premier League games this weekend.

-Newport had set their sights

-on the top of the table.

-After a quiet start to the game

-between Cross Keys and Newport...

-..a period of pressure brought

-the first try after 30 minutes.

-The hooker, Ellis Shipp

-went over in the corner.

-Newport came back into the game.

-Good play in midfield created space

-for winger, Jon Morris.

-He showed his speed and strength

-to cross under the posts.

-In the second half, two penalty

-tries in five minutes...

-..gave Cross Keys victory.

-It was a huge blow for Newport's

-rise towards the top.

-With the sun shining...

-..Carmarthen Quins came to Cardiff

-with confidence.

-It showed in their play.

-The backs broke through the Cardiff

-defence much too easily.

-Scrum half, Kieran Hardy scored.

-It was Gavin Thomas's turn next.

-He collects the ball

-deep in his half.

-Some neat passing and

-the ball back in Thomas's hands.

-A great try for Carmarthen Quins.

-It was an afternoon

-to enjoy for the Quins...

-..but Cardiff showed

-that they can play too.

-A break down the blind-side

-followed by a cross-field kick.

-Morgan Sieniawski

-crossing for Cardiff.

-With Newport losing, there's

-no change to the top four.

-There's still only

-four points between the top four.

-Remember, nobody will be relegated

-from the Premier League this season.

-Four teams will be promoted from the

-championship...

-..in order to raise the total

-to 16 next season.

-This is How the championship looks.

-There are two promotion

-places up for grabs.

-There are two

-outstanding fixtures...

-..to be played in the

-SWALEC Cup Quarter-finals.

-Llandovery took on Ebbw Vale

-for a place in the semi-finals.

-Here's what happened.

-The Drovers of Llandovery

-travelled to Ebbw Vale in the Cup.

-Both teams were hoping

-for a semi-final spot...

-..and a big game against Pontypridd.

-The first chance for some points

-came to the visitors.

-The Ebbw Vale No.8, Cameron Regan...

-..was penalized for playing the ball

-in the ruck.

-Fly half Jack Maynard was accurate

-with his kick.

-Llandovery pressed and threatened

-the Ebbw Vale try line.

-Flanker Stuart Worrall

-was the first to try for a gap.

-This time the prop, Rob Sevenoaks,

-was penalized.

-It was for an offside decision.

-The infringement might have been

-different...

-..but Jack Maynard's kick

-was accurate once again.

-6-0 to Llandovery.

-It was the Ebbw Vale pack which was

-starting to control the game.

-Llandovery went down to 14 men.

-Prop Wyn Jones was penalized

-for not moving away in the ruck.

-Sevenoaks, the Ebbw Vale prop...

-..was happy to tell him

-he was in the wrong.

-Despite the protestations, it was

-10 minutes in the sin bin for Jones.

-Eight minutes later, Ebbw Vale

-scored their first points.

-The play was laboured,

-the say the least.

-Finally, it was a Llandovery

-flanker who infringed.

-Phil Day was penalized

-by the referee.

-Iain Smerdon kept his head

-from 35 yards.

-That's how it looked at half-time.

-3-6 and time for a breather.

-The second half was a bit more

-exciting.

-Scrum half, Rhodri Davies, found

-the gap and was over the gain line.

-Out then to the backs,

-who speeded up the play...

-..to allow Jacob Cowley to cross

-for the game's first try.

-Much better from the visitors.

-They gained confidence and now

-had the wind in their sails.

-Craig Woodall and Will Thomas

-led the attack...

-..from deep in their own half.

-Ebbw Vale did enough to stop them

-but when the ball emerged...

-..scrum half Rhodri Davies was in

-the right place to take advantage.

-Charging away for the second try

-of the game...

-..and the semi-final beckoned.

-The Ebbw Vale pack was strong,

-which led to a few infringements.

-One too many by Wyn Jones.

-He was up to no good again

-and a second yellow card...

-..meant a red card

-and an early shower for him.

-Ebbw Vale decided to go for touch

-rather than the posts...

-..to gain some precious points.

-Not a shock that the forwards

-scored their only try.

-Cameron Regan was in the pile

-of bodies to score...

-..but it was too little too late

-to change the result.

-Llandovery meet Pontypridd

-in the semi-finals.

-Pontypridd, Llandovery,

-Cross Keys and Carmarthen Quins...

-..are through to the semi-finals.

-London Welsh played in the final

-of the British and Irish Cup today.

-The final score was Yorkshire

-Carnegie 10-33 London Welsh.

-Lewis scored a hat-trick of tries

-for London Welsh.

-Here they are lifting the trophy in

-celebrating their success.

-There will be highlights of all the
