0:00:210:00:24

-No, not Dudley.

0:00:240:00:25

-We haven't turned into

-a cookery programme.

0:00:250:00:28

-Our guest will lead

-the Welsh cycling team...

0:00:280:00:31

-..at the upcoming Commonwealth Youth

-Games in the Bahamas next year.

0:00:310:00:35

-We've got something tasty

-for everyone on this show.

0:00:350:00:38

-No more food jokes, I promise.

0:00:380:00:40

-Wrexham taking on North

-Ferriby United at The Racecourse.

0:00:420:00:45

-The Dragons

-were looking for their...

0:00:450:00:47

-..first back-to-back

-league wins of the season.

0:00:480:00:50

-Cardiff Devils were looking to avoid

-back-to-back league defeats.

0:00:510:00:54

-Clwb 2 features their ice hockey

-encounter with Belfast Giants.

0:00:550:00:58

-And if you haven't seen

-enough ice this week...

0:00:590:01:02

-..we've also got figure skating.

0:01:020:01:04

-That's the sport for

-our featured club this week.

0:01:040:01:07

-There's also Cyclo-cross.

0:01:070:01:09

-We'll follow the Welsh cyclists...

0:01:090:01:11

-..competing for the British

-Championship in Bradford last week.

0:01:120:01:16

-Not a food chef but a Chef de

-Mission joins me, Gerwyn Owen.

0:01:180:01:23

-You will lead the Wales team

-at the Commonwealth Youth Games.

0:01:230:01:27

-Sorry for the bad jokes.

0:01:270:01:28

-It sounds like an exciting year

-for you.

0:01:280:01:31

-Absolutely, to lead the team

-to the Bahamas...

0:01:310:01:34

-..it's a good foundation

-for young athletes.

0:01:340:01:37

-We're hoping to take

-around 40 athletes over.

0:01:370:01:40

-I'm really looking forward.

0:01:400:01:41

-I'm really looking forward.

-

-Thanks for joining us.

0:01:410:01:43

-We start with rugby tonight.

0:01:430:01:46

-The Scarlets suffered heartbreak

-this afternoon.

0:01:460:01:49

-Their game with Saracens

-finished in a draw.

0:01:500:01:52

-The final score was 22-22.

0:01:530:01:54

-That means they're out of

-the European Champions Cup.

0:01:540:01:58

-Saracens scored a try in the

-final minute to secure the draw.

0:02:010:02:04

-We start with the

-Foster's Challenge Cup on Clwb.

0:02:040:02:07

-The pool games come to an end

-next Wednesday.

0:02:070:02:10

-It's quite a race to the semi-final.

0:02:100:02:12

-A win for Cross Keys at Pandy Park

-would give them the lead in Pool 1.

0:02:180:02:22

-The home team got off to the

-perfect start after just 60 seconds.

0:02:230:02:27

-Fullback, James McCarthy,

-with the well-timed little kick...

0:02:280:02:32

-..and Matthew Powell scoring.

0:02:330:02:35

-Bedwas struck back

-within five minutes.

0:02:370:02:39

-Good passing by the forwards...

0:02:400:02:42

-..leading eventually to a try

-for the centre James S Dixon.

0:02:420:02:46

-The home side weren't going

-to be denied though.

0:02:470:02:50

-Leon Andrews set up this chance

-for Phil Williams.

0:02:510:02:54

-However, four tries for the visitors

-meant they claimed...

0:02:540:02:58

-..two bonus points in defeat.

0:02:580:03:01

-Despite that victory for Cross Keys,

-Bedwas or Newport will progress.

0:03:010:03:05

-That depends on the result of

-the final pool match on Wednesday.

0:03:050:03:09

-Llandovery started well with a try

-for Joseff Powell under the posts.

0:03:100:03:16

-A win for the home team

-would have seen them progress...

0:03:200:03:24

-..but the visitors

-had different ideas.

0:03:240:03:27

-Richard Rees set up this chance

-for Jack Price.

0:03:270:03:31

-The centre crossed to frustrate

-the hopes of the Quins.

0:03:310:03:35

-These two were scrabbling about

-at the bottom of Pool 2...

0:03:370:03:41

-..but Will Lewis intercepted and

-scored to give Swansea the lead.

0:03:420:03:47

-Llanelli bounced back taking

-advantage of a Swansea mistake.

0:03:490:03:53

-Good handling by the backs set up

-Tom Howell for a sprint to the line.

0:03:530:03:57

-That gave Llanelli

-the lead at half-time.

0:03:570:04:00

-The Scarlets were reduced to 14

-after a yellow card for Nathan Hart.

0:04:020:04:06

-Swansea took full advantage.

0:04:060:04:09

-A great run by Tudor Hughes

-setting up Jon Bayliss...

0:04:090:04:13

-..who offloads to Rhodri Wells

-for the score.

0:04:130:04:17

-That ensured a win for the Whites.

0:04:170:04:20

-That win for Llandovery means the

-Quins still need to beat Llanelli...

0:04:210:04:25

-..to make sure of

-reaching the knock-out rounds.

0:04:250:04:28

-Ebbw were the visitors to The Wern

-to take on the leaders in Pool 3.

0:04:310:04:35

-Things looked promising for the

-home team when Jake Crockett scored.

0:04:350:04:42

-There was a yellow card awarded

-to both sides in this game...

0:04:450:04:49

-..but Merthyr won comfortably

-with several tries to their name...

0:04:490:04:53

-..including this one for Matt Dwyer.

0:04:530:04:56

-Bargoed beat Pontypridd which means

-Merthyr have already won the pool.

0:04:590:05:05

-Cardiff's final home fixture

-of the competition...

0:05:050:05:09

-..ended in disappointment

-for the Blue and Blacks.

0:05:090:05:12

-Scrivens and Murphy combining

-early on to score for Bridgend.

0:05:130:05:17

-Cardiff responded with a try

-thanks to the quick thinking...

0:05:170:05:23

-..of their debutant

-fly half Oliver Jenkins.

0:05:230:05:27

-A quick tap and a try.

0:05:270:05:29

-However, Bridgend eventually emerged

-as the victors.

0:05:320:05:37

-They also scored the

-best try of the game.

0:05:370:05:40

-A searing run

-down the middle by Joe Gatt.

0:05:400:05:44

-Matthew Edwards was there to

-give it back to him for the score.

0:05:440:05:48

-Neath took the early lead

-against Aberavon.

0:05:510:05:54

-The Wizards struck back after a good

-run by Matthew Jenkins on the wing.

0:05:540:06:00

-Shaun Pearce took full advantage

-to score under the posts.

0:06:000:06:04

-Neath were the next to score.

0:06:090:06:11

-Chris Morgans took a quick tap

-and offloaded to Gavin Evans.

0:06:120:06:16

-He was held up short of the line.

0:06:160:06:18

-Scott Hicks was there to score

-his second try of the game...

0:06:180:06:22

-..for the Welsh All Blacks.

0:06:230:06:24

-The visitors weren't

-going to be denied.

0:06:260:06:29

-A kick by Steff Williams

-found Shaun Pearce.

0:06:300:06:33

-The winger sped away

-for his second try.

0:06:340:06:37

-That sealed the win for the Wizards.

0:06:370:06:40

-It's all to play for in Pool 4.

0:06:410:06:44

-One point separates

-the two at the top.

0:06:440:06:47

-Lowri Wynn there. The final round

-will be on Clwb next week.

0:06:510:06:56

-I'm joined by Gerwyn Owen.

0:06:560:06:58

-He is the Chef de Mission

-for the Welsh team...

0:06:580:07:01

-..at the Commonwealth Youth Games.

0:07:010:07:03

-I remember we showed highlights

-of the Commonwealth Youth Games...

0:07:030:07:07

-..from Samoa two years ago on Clwb.

0:07:070:07:09

-It looks like a great occasion.

0:07:100:07:12

-It's certainly a good foundation

-for the young athletes.

0:07:120:07:15

-It teaches them how to cope

-in multi-sport events.

0:07:160:07:19

-Usually, they go to some games

-or competitions...

0:07:190:07:23

-..and it's just their sport.

0:07:230:07:25

-To be multi-sport, going to the

-Bahamas helps the trip too.

0:07:250:07:33

-The experience they get

-from these games...

0:07:330:07:36

-..helps them develop as athletes.

0:07:360:07:38

-The names who have competed

-there in the past say it all.

0:07:380:07:42

-Geraint Thomas is one.

0:07:420:07:44

-It's quite a stage

-for young athletes.

0:07:440:07:46

-Certainly, Geraint Thomas

-as you say.

0:07:470:07:49

-Elinor Barker, Jazz Carlin,

-Chloe Tutton, I could go on.

0:07:500:07:54

-We've competed at these games

-seven times...

0:07:540:07:57

-..since the first

-in Edinburgh in 2000.

0:07:570:07:59

-The foundation

-is the experience gained...

0:08:000:08:02

-..they can then develop

-into experienced athletes.

0:08:020:08:05

-That's particularly the case

-on the senior level.

0:08:060:08:10

-The people I've just named have all

-been seen at the Olympics too.

0:08:100:08:14

-They don't just compete for Wales

-but for Great Britain too.

0:08:140:08:18

-You're the Chef de Mission

-so take care of the team.

0:08:180:08:21

-What does that mean?

-A little of everything?

0:08:220:08:25

-Yes, I'm not Dudley,

-I don't cook for them.

0:08:260:08:28

-Chef de Mission means chief of

-the mission or head of delegation.

0:08:280:08:34

-You lead the team.

0:08:340:08:35

-I ensure they get there safely...

0:08:350:08:37

-..compete to their best ability

-and come home safely.

0:08:370:08:41

-We ensure that the atmosphere

-and environment is good for them.

0:08:410:08:46

-That's how they perform

-at their best.

0:08:460:08:49

-We certainly try

-to boost the athletes...

0:08:490:08:53

-..to ensure that they represent

-Wales and believe in Wales too.

0:08:530:08:58

-That's our hashtag, #creducymru...

0:08:590:09:01

-..it's to make sure they go there

-believing in themselves.

0:09:010:09:04

-I like that hashtag.

0:09:050:09:06

-I'm sure there'll be a chance

-for you to head...

0:09:060:09:09

-..to the Bahamas

-to keep an eye on things.

0:09:090:09:11

-Someone has to.

-I get that privilege!

0:09:120:09:14

-Unfortunately, I have to head out

-at the end of this month.

0:09:150:09:18

-It sounds good,

-but I fly in on Sunday night.

0:09:180:09:21

-I'm there for two days.

-I come back on Wednesday afternoon.

0:09:210:09:25

-I've got two and a half days to make

-sure everything's going to plan.

0:09:250:09:30

-I'll need to make connections...

0:09:300:09:32

-..and make sure we get the best for

-the team when we're there in July.

0:09:320:09:37

-We won nine medals last time.

0:09:370:09:39

-Everyone likes to count medals

-in any competition.

0:09:390:09:42

-Will Wales have a strong team

-this time?

0:09:420:09:45

-Absolutely, we don't give

-the youngsters a medal target.

0:09:450:09:50

-The experience they're gaining

-is the target.

0:09:510:09:53

-We took 15 athletes last time,

-we've got 40 this time.

0:09:540:09:59

-That includes

-a Women's Rugby Sevens Team.

0:09:590:10:03

-There are requirements for them...

0:10:030:10:07

-..to reach a certain standard

-to play for Wales.

0:10:070:10:11

-That's before they even

-go out to the Bahamas.

0:10:110:10:14

-Certainly there

-will be medals coming home.

0:10:140:10:17

-40 heading out, that's a big team.

0:10:170:10:19

-Thanks very much, we'll have more

-from Gerwyn later on.

0:10:190:10:23

-It's time for some ice hockey now.

0:10:230:10:25

-It's been going well

-for the Cardiff Devils this season.

0:10:260:10:29

-They're in the Elite League.

0:10:290:10:31

-Christmas and New Year

-have not been so kind.

0:10:310:10:34

-They had a huge game in the capital

-last night.

0:10:340:10:37

-It was 1st vs 2nd,

-Belfast Giants were the visitors.

0:10:380:10:41

-It was another big game

-in a packed stadium.

0:10:450:10:47

-Belfast got the first chance

-but the Devils held their ground.

0:10:480:10:51

-They scored one goal each

-in the first period.

0:10:520:10:54

-What a goal! Matthew Myers

-with this wonderful strike.

0:10:540:10:58

-It's no surprise

-that they celebrated.

0:10:580:11:00

-Myers had just stepped on to the ice

-and made an impression instantly.

0:11:010:11:05

-His puck whistled past the keeper,

-Jackson Whistle.

0:11:050:11:08

-The Devils picked up their second in

-the second period.

0:11:080:11:11

-Patrick Asselin

-finished another slick move.

0:11:110:11:14

-All was well in the capital city.

0:11:140:11:17

-Things changed with Belfast hauling

-them back within two minutes.

0:11:170:11:21

-The visitors kept possession

-for a long time.

0:11:210:11:24

-They didn't really

-threaten the Devils.

0:11:240:11:26

-With the defence

-dragged to the side...

0:11:260:11:29

-..there was space for Chris Higgins

-to get one back.

0:11:290:11:32

-Patrick Bordeleau was banned

-for the Devils.

0:11:340:11:37

-He's the usual enforcer.

0:11:370:11:39

-It was still

-a very competitive fixture.

0:11:390:11:42

-The crowd of 3,000 were over the

-moon with Gleason Fourmier here.

0:11:420:11:47

-The defender clearly trying

-to stamp his authority on the game.

0:11:480:11:51

-I think he succeeded.

0:11:510:11:53

-It's incredibly close between

-the two teams in the table.

0:11:550:11:58

-That was evident on the ice too.

0:11:580:12:00

-Belfast were pressing at the start

-of the final period.

0:12:000:12:03

-Anything the Devils could do,

-the Giants could too.

0:12:030:12:06

-A shot from distance by Jonathan

-Boxhill tied the game at 2-2.

0:12:070:12:10

-A beautiful shot by Boxhill.

0:12:100:12:13

-There was no doubt that Belfast

-were in charge by now.

0:12:130:12:17

-With the end of the game nearing,

-the Giants really went for it.

0:12:200:12:23

-They almost took the victory

-before overtime.

0:12:230:12:27

-The ice was red hot with the men

-and sticks all over the place.

0:12:270:12:30

-Somehow, the puck stayed out.

0:12:310:12:33

-It was 2-2 at the end of the game

-which meant overtime.

0:12:330:12:36

-The Devils got a chance...

0:12:360:12:38

-..but goalkeeper Whistle

-struck the right note.

0:12:380:12:41

-After that, it was a race between

-Fourmier and Chris Higgins.

0:12:410:12:45

-Despite the Devils man looking

-in control...

0:12:450:12:48

-..Higgins got to the puck

-and Belfast took the game.

0:12:480:12:52

-Despite us not wanting

-to see the Devils lose...

0:12:520:12:55

-..who doesn't enjoy

-seeing a moon walk?

0:12:550:12:57

-The defence was criminal,

-just not smooth enough.

0:12:570:13:00

-In the end, this thriller

-was bad for the Devils.

0:13:000:13:03

-Sorry about the puns.

0:13:070:13:09

-Despite the loss,

-the Devils remain top.

-Welcome back.

0:13:320:13:33

-Next up is cyclo-cross.

0:13:330:13:35

-It's had quite a bit of attention

-here on Clwb and S4C recently.

0:13:350:13:40

-The races happen

-on a cross-country course.

0:13:400:13:42

-There was excitement

-in Abergavenny last year.

0:13:430:13:46

-You might remember that

-the UK Series started in Wales.

0:13:460:13:49

-Wales was represented in Bradford

-at last week's British Championship.

0:13:490:13:54

-The Championships took place

-in the Pennines.

0:13:560:13:59

-There were races across two days

-to challenge the old and the young.

0:13:590:14:03

-The first Welsh rider to venture

-into the mud was Eluned King.

0:14:030:14:07

-The Queen of Towy Riders won silver

-in the Girls Under 16 Championship.

0:14:070:14:12

-It was good, better than I expected.

0:14:120:14:15

-I thought maybe if I was lucky,

-I could get top five.

0:14:150:14:19

-This course is quite technical.

0:14:190:14:22

-I'm not a technical rider but

-I have been working on my skills.

0:14:220:14:27

-It was only with half a lap to go

-that I realised I had half a chance.

0:14:270:14:32

-Second place in the race

-for Towy Riders is Eluned King!

0:14:320:14:37

-The race I did here last year

-was a complete mudbath.

0:14:370:14:41

-When I saw that the National

-Championships were in Bradford...

0:14:410:14:47

-..I thought "Oh, God, not Bradford

-again with all that mud".

0:14:470:14:50

-But it was a good course this year.

0:14:510:14:53

-Maddie Osborn from

-the Abergavenny Road Club...

0:14:550:14:58

-..finished eighth

-in the Girls U14 race.

0:14:580:15:00

-However, she is only 12 and seen

-as a future star of the sport.

0:15:000:15:04

-I did really well. I felt like

-I had a really good race today.

0:15:040:15:07

-My cleats were loose, I couldn't get

-clipped in and they kept slipping.

0:15:080:15:12

-After that, I felt that

-it went really well.

0:15:120:15:14

-I'm only first year...

0:15:150:15:16

-..so it's good to get the experience

-for my second year of U14s.

0:15:160:15:20

-One of the founders of the

-Abergavenny Club is Graham Edwards.

0:15:210:15:25

-He has mentored some big names

-including Rachel and Becky James.

0:15:250:15:28

-He was competing too, in

-the Men's Veteran 50+ Championship.

0:15:290:15:33

-National Championships are always

-good, wherever they're held.

0:15:330:15:38

-People from all over

-come together over two days.

0:15:380:15:41

-It's an amazing atmosphere

-and to ride in it is incredible.

0:15:410:15:45

-You'd never believe how

-tough it is out there today.

0:15:450:15:48

-To see Maddie do so well is amazing.

-She is only 12 years of age.

0:15:480:15:52

-A stunning ride.

0:15:530:15:54

-From the old to the young and

-to another Abergavenny rider...

0:15:550:15:59

-..Tom Crapper, who is 13.

0:15:590:16:01

-He loves riding his bike and

-obviously loves competing too.

0:16:010:16:05

-It was my kind of course because

-I'm a technical kind of person.

0:16:060:16:10

-We've got a lot of terrain by us.

0:16:100:16:13

-I've competed in roughly eight now

-and I'm really enjoying them.

0:16:150:16:20

-The Holy Spirit wasn't in the mud

-but the Son followed the Father.

0:16:210:16:26

-Paul Crapper won

-Community Coach of the Year...

0:16:260:16:29

-..at the 2016 Wales Sport Awards.

0:16:290:16:32

-Two of his pupils were here too.

0:16:320:16:34

-Two more from the James Dynasty,

-Megan and Ffion.

0:16:340:16:37

-It does suit me. I like the hills

-and I like technical, muddy races.

0:16:390:16:43

-It's pretty much

-the perfect course for me.

0:16:430:16:46

-I don't want to say too much

-before tomorrow.

0:16:460:16:48

-It suits Meg as well.

-She is really good technically.

0:16:480:16:52

-I think it's a great course

-but I'm not sure if it suits me.

0:16:520:16:55

-There's a couple too many hills.

-I'm just going to do what I can.

0:16:550:16:59

-Talking of the James family, doing

-the dirty work behind the scenes...

0:16:590:17:04

-..and clearing up the mud

-was the father, David.

0:17:050:17:08

-If anything happens to our bikes,

-he'll be there to change it.

0:17:080:17:12

-If it gets wetter overnight

-and gets muddier...

0:17:120:17:15

-..we'll have to change our bikes

-every couple of laps.

0:17:150:17:19

-He'll be in the pits

-helping us out at all times.

0:17:190:17:22

-The World Championships are

-in Luxembourg later this month.

0:17:220:17:26

-A lot of it goes

-on how we do tomorrow.

0:17:260:17:28

-If we get a really good result,

-we've a chance of being selected.

0:17:280:17:33

-That's the aim.

0:17:330:17:34

-The women are ready

-for the U23 race.

0:17:350:17:40

-This Bradford course, according

-to the men who raced earlier...

0:17:400:17:46

-..is a very technical one.

0:17:460:17:48

-Ffion and Megan James, the two

-sisters in the red of Abergavenny...

0:17:490:17:54

-..are at the front

-early in this race.

0:17:540:17:56

-In cyclo-cross,

-so much can change so quickly.

0:17:570:18:03

-Evie Richards has Ffion James

-right on her back wheel.

0:18:040:18:09

-Evie gets off her bike

-to go up the hill.

0:18:120:18:16

-She gets back on much quicker

-than Ffion.

0:18:170:18:20

-That shows the strength

-of Evie Richards...

0:18:200:18:23

-..who is wearing the rainbow colours

-of a world champion.

0:18:240:18:28

-She is starting to open up a gap.

0:18:280:18:30

-Here's a chance to see Megan James.

0:18:310:18:33

-Oh, she's fallen

-at the bottom of the hill.

0:18:330:18:36

-Maybe that is the end of Megan's

-hopes in the Junior race.

0:18:370:18:43

-She is back on and pushing hard...

0:18:440:18:47

-..but is it too late

-for a podium place?

0:18:470:18:51

-Despite the conditions, Evie

-Richards is showing her experience.

0:18:520:18:57

-She leads the way and Ffion James

-is now in third place.

0:18:570:19:02

-The blue shirt of Amira Mellor

-disappears around the corner.

0:19:020:19:07

-Evie Richards defends her British

-Championship here in Bradford.

0:19:070:19:13

-She'll defend the rainbow jersey in

-Luxembourg at the end of the month.

0:19:130:19:18

-I wonder if there will be a place

-in the team for Ffion James.

0:19:180:19:22

-She finishes third.

0:19:230:19:25

-It was a really tough course,

-both physically and technically.

0:19:270:19:31

-There was no rest on the descents...

0:19:310:19:33

-..because you were concentrating

-so hard to stay on your bike.

0:19:330:19:37

-Evie is the U23 World Champion

-and going really fast.

0:19:370:19:40

-She ended up getting away so I

-had a battle with Amira Mellor...

0:19:410:19:44

-..who ended up getting second.

0:19:440:19:46

-I got third so I was relatively

-pleased with that.

0:19:460:19:49

-There we go, plenty of excitement

-in the cyclo-cross.

0:19:550:19:58

-Ffion James mentioned hoping

-to be chosen for the British team.

0:19:580:20:02

-She has been chosen

-for the World Championship team.

0:20:020:20:05

-She'll be competing in Luxembourg

-at the end of the month.

0:20:050:20:09

-Good luck to her.

0:20:090:20:10

-I'm joined by Gerwyn Owen.

0:20:100:20:12

-He is in charge of the Wales team

-at the Commonwealth Youth Games.

0:20:120:20:15

-Gerwyn, we saw some cycling there.

0:20:160:20:19

-Geraint Thomas

-is one of Wales' stars.

0:20:190:20:22

-Disappointing news that next year...

0:20:220:20:24

-..he won't be competing at the

-Commonwealth Games due to a clash.

0:20:250:20:28

-No, it's a disappointment

-for the team.

0:20:290:20:31

-The good thing is that Welsh cycling

-has some good depth.

0:20:310:20:35

-What happened over the weekend

-showed that.

0:20:350:20:38

-I think it will be the women's turn

-on the Gold Coast.

0:20:380:20:42

-Elinor Barker and Becky James in

-particular will be going for medals.

0:20:420:20:47

-It's a shame but, I think

-there's strength in Welsh Cycling.

0:20:470:20:53

-I think we'll still make the podium

-at the Gold Coast games.

0:20:530:20:57

-You will be there too. Bahamas

-this year, Gold Coast next year.

0:20:570:21:01

-How close are the two competitions?

0:21:010:21:03

-You work on one and go

-to the other too...

0:21:030:21:06

-..how much help is that

-in your role?

0:21:060:21:08

-It's important.

0:21:080:21:10

-What we try to do with the Wales

-team is ensure that the image...

0:21:100:21:14

-..atmosphere and environment

-are good for the team.

0:21:140:21:17

-We're hoping whoever goes

-to the Bahamas...

0:21:170:21:21

-..and maybe break through

-to the Gold Coast...

0:21:210:21:25

-..can get the same support

-and atmosphere from Team Wales...

0:21:250:21:30

-..to ensure they perform

-at their best.

0:21:300:21:33

-We're trying to carry that image on.

0:21:330:21:35

-Our main aim is the Commonwealth

-Games on the Gold Coast.

0:21:360:21:40

-But every games is a stepping stone.

0:21:410:21:43

-But every games is a stepping stone.

-

-We're looking forward to that.

0:21:430:21:46

-We're off on the ocean waves now

-and the Vendee Globe sailing race.

0:21:480:21:53

-We've followed it since they set off

-around the world in November.

0:21:530:21:58

-Welshman Alex Thomson

-is hoping to create history...

0:21:580:22:01

-..as the first British sailor

-to win the race.

0:22:020:22:05

-In the Vendee Globe...

0:22:070:22:08

-..it's still a battle between

-Armel Le Cleac'h and Alex Thomson.

0:22:090:22:12

-The Frenchman

-crossed the Equator first...

0:22:130:22:15

-..but the Welshman was closing in.

0:22:150:22:17

-Champagne day at the moment,

-we're going pretty fast.

0:22:170:22:21

-It's a bit patchy

-but still going pretty good.

0:22:210:22:24

-Still working on the foil.

-You can see that down here.

0:22:240:22:27

-The routing is saying it's about 11

-or 12 days into the Sables d'Olonne.

0:22:270:22:32

-Hopefully, there will be

-an opportunity to catch up.

0:22:320:22:36

-Hopefully, Armel will be

-slowing down shortly...

0:22:360:22:39

-..and I will be still going strong.

0:22:390:22:42

-Keep your fingers crossed.

-I'm working hard. See what happens.

0:22:420:22:46

-Alex wasn't the only one

-in good spirits.

0:22:470:22:50

-Jeremie Beyon, in third place...

0:22:500:22:52

-..had cut 500 miles on the top two

-in three days...

0:22:520:22:56

-..before the weather

-slowed him down.

0:22:560:22:58

-It was a tough night.

0:22:590:23:00

-I watched the clouds gather above me

-and in time...

0:23:000:23:04

-..I was at a standstill

-for many hours.

0:23:050:23:07

-No wind at all.

-It wasn't an easy journey.

0:23:080:23:11

-Armel and Alex now

-have to conquer the Doldrums.

0:23:110:23:15

-It's another physical

-and mental challenge.

0:23:150:23:18

-Not all plain sailing at the moment.

0:23:180:23:21

-Had a terrible night last night.

0:23:210:23:24

-I did one or two knots for most of

-the night and into this morning.

0:23:240:23:29

-Today's not been too bad.

-There's been some wind.

0:23:290:23:33

-Hopefully, the next 24 hours won't

-be as painful as the model suggests.

0:23:330:23:38

-Fingers crossed.

0:23:380:23:40

-With Alex Thomson's Hugo Boss within

-64 miles of Banque Populaire...

0:23:400:23:45

-..Armel Le Cleac'h

-is getting worried.

0:23:450:23:47

-Nothing is easy. It's an unusual

-situation which is also worrying.

0:23:480:23:54

-I am at my wits' end as far as the

-weather forecasts are concerned.

0:23:540:24:00

-If things went Alex's way,

-it would be hard to take, mentally.

0:24:000:24:05

-But that's the way it is.

0:24:050:24:07

-Despite the fierce racing,

-Alex takes a moment...

0:24:090:24:12

-..to watch his new friend

-showing off his skills.

0:24:120:24:16

-This is my bird friend

-who is a flying fish hunter.

0:24:180:24:22

-There he goes,

-he'll dive down to a flying fish.

0:24:220:24:26

-Go on. Go on.

0:24:260:24:28

-Like a bird of prey.

0:24:280:24:29

-Oh, there he goes.

0:24:340:24:36

-Almost as remarkable is the fact

-that only about 100 miles...

0:24:410:24:45

-..separate Armel and Alex

-after 70 days of racing.

0:24:450:24:48

-There is less than

-a week's sailing...

0:24:480:24:51

-..before they return

-to Les Sables d'Olonne.

0:24:510:24:54

-Only a brave man would predict

-whether the Welsh or the French...

0:24:540:24:58

-..will be the first

-to cross the finishing line.

0:24:580:25:01

-Good luck to Alex Thomson

-as that race nears its conclusion.

0:25:070:25:10

-Gerwyn Owen will be at the Youth

-Commonwealth Games this summer.

0:25:110:25:15

-You'll be there as a volunteer but

-your main job is at Plas Menai...

0:25:150:25:19

-..as Academy Manager

-for Disability Sport Wales.

0:25:200:25:23

-Your officials are always on

-the lookout for talent in Wales...

0:25:230:25:27

-..even when shopping

-at the supermarket.

0:25:270:25:29

-Definitely.

-We've been looking at sailing.

0:25:290:25:32

-Stephen Thomas has been

-to the last three Paralympic Games.

0:25:330:25:37

-We found him

-whilst shopping at Tesco.

0:25:370:25:40

-Someone noticed that he

-had prosthetic legs.

0:25:400:25:46

-Here he is out in Rio.

0:25:460:25:48

-He was a rugby player before

-he suffered from meningitis.

0:25:500:25:53

-He had to have both legs amputated.

0:25:530:25:56

-We knew there was potential.

0:25:560:26:00

-He was over six feet tall

-and very muscly.

0:26:000:26:03

-Sailing was looking for someone

-with Stephen Thomas' profile.

0:26:030:26:08

-We went up to him and asked if he

-would like to try sailing.

0:26:080:26:12

-He said he'd never even

-been in a boat!

0:26:120:26:14

-He didn't like going on the water

-because it made him feel sick.

0:26:150:26:19

-We put him in touch with the British

-team and the rest is history.

0:26:190:26:25

-It strikes me that they achieve

-so much in the world of sport...

0:26:260:26:29

-..but every day is a battle

-for people with disabilities.

0:26:290:26:33

-It's a huge leap for them

-to step into the sporting world.

0:26:330:26:37

-They have many hurdles to overcome,

-whatever their disability...

0:26:380:26:43

-..just to live from day to day.

0:26:430:26:47

-When we at Disability Sport Wales

-ask them to take up sport...

0:26:470:26:50

-..it can be difficult for them.

0:26:510:26:52

-There is so much on the horizon and

-it's great to hear about your work.

0:26:530:26:58

-Gerwyn will stay with us and after

-the break, we have some football.

0:26:590:27:04

-Welcome back.

-Clwb Ni is next on the show.

0:27:140:27:18

-This week it's

-Deeside Ice Skating Club.

0:27:180:27:22

-The club was formed back in 1974.

-The year I was born.

0:27:230:27:28

-That's over 40 years ago.

0:27:280:27:30

-I started skating at the age of 11.

0:27:390:27:42

-Not long after the club started.

0:27:420:27:45

-It was started

-by a group of parents.

0:27:450:27:47

-We've gone on to do shows.

0:27:470:27:49

-I've gone from being in the shows

-to choreographing numbers...

0:27:490:27:53

-..and then on to directing

-the show for a number of years.

0:27:540:27:57

-It's great for the kids to

-get some experience of skating...

0:27:580:28:01

-..in front of audiences

-and getting more confidence.

0:28:010:28:04

-It's the first stage

-they'll have ever been on...

0:28:050:28:08

-..and it's a big stage to fill.

0:28:080:28:10

-When Dancing on Ice was on skaters

-just kept walking through the door.

0:28:110:28:15

-Now, it's a lot harder and you have

-to fight for every bit of business.

0:28:150:28:19

-We've done a lot of promotion this

-year.

0:28:190:28:22

-At the end of March we had 36

-skaters going into the new season.

0:28:220:28:26

-We've now got 75.

0:28:260:28:29

-We started an on-ice cheer-leading

-team for the Dragons hockey team.

0:28:290:28:34

-We are definitely the first in Wales

-and as far as we know...

0:28:340:28:37

-..the first on-ice cheer-leading

-team in the country.

0:28:370:28:40

-We started the synchronised skating

-a couple of months ago.

0:28:450:28:51

-Skating together and doing

-the same steps at the same time.

0:28:510:28:54

-It's proved quite popular.

0:28:550:28:58

-We're hoping to form teams

-and compete later on in the year.

0:28:580:29:02

-I saw some skating

-and I just wanted to try it.

0:29:040:29:09

-I started when I was eight.

0:29:090:29:12

-It's fun because it's totally

-different to everything else.

0:29:120:29:17

-You make friends quite quickly.

0:29:170:29:21

-I got a little bit nervous

-but then I made lots of friends.

0:29:220:29:26

-Then I got really good at ice

-skating and I just loved it.

0:29:260:29:30

-It's a getaway from it all.

0:29:300:29:32

-If you're getting upset about

-other people from school...

0:29:320:29:37

-..it's a nice place

-to get away from that.

0:29:370:29:40

-You get to see

-all your true friends.

0:29:400:29:43

-When you do comps

-you get cheers from everyone.

0:29:430:29:47

-The parents are fabulous.

0:29:480:29:49

-They run the committee and

-put in so much time and effort.

0:29:490:29:52

-There's aunties, uncles,

-grandmas and grandads.

0:29:530:29:57

-They all help out.

0:29:570:29:58

-It makes it a nice,

-friendly place to be.

0:29:580:30:02

-It's a great community for kids.

0:30:030:30:05

-Thanks to the Deeside Ice Skating

-Club for the warm welcome.

0:30:110:30:15

-They weren't at all frosty.

0:30:160:30:19

-We aren't moving

-very far away either.

0:30:190:30:22

-It's off to Wrexham next

-and The Racecourse.

0:30:220:30:24

-North Ferriby United

-were the visitors yesterday.

0:30:250:30:28

-Hare to Armstrong.

0:30:370:30:39

-Oliver is in support.

0:30:390:30:42

-Oliver got the ball back.

0:30:420:30:44

-He found Bateson in space.

0:30:450:30:47

-Bateson beat his man.

0:30:480:30:49

-That was an important tackle

-from Riley.

0:30:490:30:52

-Carrington to McLeod.

0:30:560:30:59

-Carrington continues his run.

0:31:270:31:29

-What a wonderful goal.

0:31:290:31:31

-That's a great first goal

-for Wrexham by Izale McLeod.

0:31:310:31:36

-After thirty minutes,

-the home team are ahead.

0:31:370:31:41

-I doubt you'll see a better shot

-than this one this weekend.

0:31:410:31:45

-Jennings.

0:31:480:31:50

-He spreads it to Carrington

-once more.

0:31:500:31:53

-Barry.

0:31:530:31:54

-Carrington collects the pass.

0:31:550:31:57

-The cross went in to the far post.

0:31:570:32:00

0:32:000:32:02

-That's another outstanding save...

0:32:020:32:04

-..from the young goalkeeper

-Rory Watson.

0:32:050:32:07

-Penn to Carrington.

0:32:090:32:11

-Rooney had more than enough time

-to turn.

0:32:130:32:16

-Rooney, he feints

-and almost fools himself!

0:32:160:32:19

-The shot was pretty simple

-for Watson in the end.

0:32:190:32:24

-SECOND HALF

0:32:240:32:26

-Carrington to Barry.

0:32:260:32:28

-McLeod offers himself.

0:32:290:32:31

-Barry gets the space.

0:32:310:32:33

0:32:360:32:38

-Jennings found White in space.

0:32:430:32:46

-Rutherford makes a run,

-the ball rebounds to White.

0:32:470:32:50

-It's an outstanding save

-by Rory Watson.

0:32:500:32:54

-At the moment, the young goalkeeper

-is the only thing...

0:32:550:32:58

-..between North Ferriby

-and a hammering by Wrexham.

0:32:580:33:01

-Rooney with the ball forward

-to Massanka.

0:33:040:33:08

-Massanka against Watson.

0:33:080:33:10

-a stormer, makes the save.

0:33:110:33:15

-Rooney takes it short.

0:33:170:33:19

-He gets the pass back.

0:33:190:33:21

-Rooney crosses to Jennings.

0:33:210:33:23

-Jennings mistimed his run.

0:33:250:33:27

-He almost scored with his chest.

0:33:280:33:30

-Hare, that's pretty slack

-from North Ferriby.

0:33:320:33:35

-Massanka has a chance to

-run at the defence.

0:33:350:33:38

-Massanka turns.

0:33:400:33:41

-He shoots!

0:33:410:33:42

-It's hit the post!

0:33:430:33:44

-Dear me, that would have been

-a wonderful goal on his debut.

0:33:440:33:48

-Rooney!

0:33:490:33:50

-His shot goes wide.

0:33:500:33:51

-Two more great chances for Wrexham.

0:33:520:33:54

-Massanka's shot

-was pushed out to the post.

0:33:550:33:59

-Rooney's curled effort

-just missed the target.

0:33:590:34:02

-Rooney has bags of room.

0:34:040:34:06

-He is enjoying himself

-this afternoon.

0:34:070:34:09

-He goes past the defence.

0:34:090:34:11

-The save from Watson.

0:34:110:34:13

-He's determined to try for a goal.

0:34:140:34:17

-Maybe he should have passed it, he

-did have a free red shirt near by.

0:34:170:34:22

-We asked the lads before the game

-for three points and a clean sheet.

0:34:230:34:28

-It was a chance to get back-to-back

-wins for the first time this season.

0:34:280:34:32

-They've gone and done it.

0:34:320:34:34

-If the goal had been scored

-in the Premiership...

0:34:340:34:38

-..you'd see it a few times.

0:34:380:34:40

-He needs to get match fit and sharp.

0:34:400:34:43

-I hope he's scoring goals

-like that on a regular basis...

0:34:430:34:46

-..before the end of the season.

0:34:470:34:49

-Wrexham are finally closer

-to the play-offs than relegation.

0:34:490:34:52

-They have a derby

-in Chester on Saturday.

0:34:530:34:55

-That huge derby match will be

-on Clwb 2 next Sunday night.

0:34:570:35:01

-Wrexham versus Chester,

-I can't wait.

0:35:010:35:04

-Gerwyn Owen has been

-keeping us company on Clwb 2.

0:35:040:35:07

-Thank you for sharing

-your valuable time with us.

0:35:070:35:10

-You're preparing for that big youth

-event with Wales in the Bahamas.

0:35:100:35:14

-The success of athletes

-like Tanni Grey-Thompson...

0:35:150:35:18

-..and Aled Sion Davies has

-given the impression that Wales...

0:35:180:35:22

-..is a leading light

-in the paralympic world.

0:35:220:35:24

-Do you agree with that opinion?

0:35:250:35:26

-Our aim is to make

-all sport inclusive.

0:35:270:35:31

-The challenge is to

-make it all-inclusive.

0:35:310:35:35

-Both at the lowest levels

-and at the very top.

0:35:390:35:42

-People like Tanni and Aled

-have been there waving the flag...

0:35:420:35:46

-..for people with disabilities.

0:35:460:35:49

-You have these

-exciting events coming up now.

0:35:500:35:54

-Aled Sion is an inspiration in

-either British or Welsh colours.

0:35:540:36:00

-Most athletes who have competed at

-that level tell me that they were...

0:36:020:36:06

-..most proud when they

-turned out in Welsh colours.

0:36:070:36:11

-I think we all feel

-something a bit special...

0:36:110:36:14

-..when we go out there

-and wave the Welsh flag.

0:36:150:36:18

-Aled Sion is quite a character.

-Tanni Grey was there first though.

0:36:200:36:25

-But you need role models and

-characters like Aled Sion Davies.

0:36:250:36:29

-A character is

-the best description of Aled.

0:36:300:36:33

-He never forgets his roots.

0:36:330:36:38

-He really encourages

-other athletes to excel...

0:36:380:36:41

-..and they don't have to be

-paralympic athletes either.

0:36:420:36:46

-He conveys a strong character.

0:36:460:36:50

-We have to cherish him and because

-of his particular discipline...

0:36:500:36:56

-..he could still be out there

-competing for twenty years.

0:36:570:37:02

-He's someone to be proud of.

0:37:030:37:05

-He certainly one of our current

-stars that children look up to.

0:37:050:37:10

-I know there's

-a lot of work still to do...

0:37:100:37:13

-..but do you see the landscape

-changing for Paralympic athletes?

0:37:130:37:17

-Absolutely.

0:37:170:37:19

-After we came back from Rio,

-everyone was proud of the team.

0:37:190:37:24

-The Paralympic team

-and the Olympic team.

0:37:240:37:27

-They are athletes

-at the end of the day.

0:37:280:37:31

-Thanks very much for joining us.

0:37:320:37:34

-Good luck this year and next year.

0:37:340:37:37

-It's a busy period for Gerwyn.

0:37:370:37:39

-It's a busy period of sport

-for S4C too.

0:37:390:37:41

-Sgorio is back tomorrow night

-and next Saturday.

0:37:410:37:44

-We'll see you next Sunday on Clwb.

0:37:440:37:46

-Goodnight.
