-Good evening and welcome.

-We're celebrating old heads...

-..thanks to Roger Federer

-and Serena Williams.

-Both have won the Australian Open

-tennis over the weekend...

-..and both are 35 years old.

-It reminds us

-that we're not too old!

-Maybe some of us are!

-Here's what we have for you tonight.

-On this weekend of Cups,

-we follow the WRU National Cup...

-..in the race for the last 16.

-We're are the Racecourse to see

-if Wrexham's recent good run...

-..could continue

-against Boreham Wood.

-We feature the family...

-..who are hoping to inspire the

-women's team in the Six Nations.

-In Clwb Ni, we meet a husky

-sleigh team from Cardiff.

-Welcome to Clwb 2 and welcome also

-to our guest, Huw Jack Brassington.

-He's a man who pushes himself

-to the limits.

-Welcome, Huw.

-Welcome, Huw.

-

-Hello.

-This is hoe you describe

-yourself on Twitter.

-"Hairy Welsh potato who loves bacon,

-rugby and any kind of race".

-Is that correct?

-You can't beat a bacon sandwich!

-You can't beat a bacon sandwich!

-

-That's a good point!

-The races that you take part in

-are very extreme.

-It's something I've done

-since I had a rugby injury.

-I needed something to fill that

-void and these races do the job.

-It's great to have you here and

-we'll chat later.

-You've mentioned rugby and that's

-where we'll start.

-In the National Cup,

-a place in the last 16 was at stake.

-We start with Wednesday's match

-at Rodney Parade...

-..where Swansea met Newport.

-Wells to Wilson.

-The offload out of

-the back of the hand.

-The referee is allowing

-the play to develop.

-The kick by Wells is being chased

-by the fullback, Rhys Williams.

-He's taken it and it's a try.

-A try from nothing.

-Wells with the left-footed kick

-and Rhys Williams won it in the air.

-The visitors have the opening try

-and they stretch their lead.

-Palmer aims and finds Jones.

-The rolling maul is checked as

-quickly as possible by Swansea.

-It's still going forward.

-The maul is trundling on

-with backs and forwards involved.

-Inch by inch they are getting there.

-The try has been scored

-by the man peeling away.

-Henry Palmer, who started it

-with the throw, has the final word.

-Great counter-rucking. They can

-counter-attack with Claypole.

-Can Jay Williams,

-the lock, go all the way?

-He's stretching those legs to score

-a length of the field try.

-Swansea have regained

-their advantage.

-SECOND HALF

-Newport need to turn this pressure

-into points as soon as possible.

-The referee has decided

-that the try was inevitable.

-It's a penalty try

-for the home side.

-A third penalty has led

-to a third try.

-The conversion means that Newport

-trail by 15 points to 18.

-Newport have plenty of space

-to spread the play and attack.

-That's a pretty heavy tackle.

-Was it legal?

-The referee says it was high.

-With 70 minutes on the clock this is

-their first chance to take the lead.

-O'Brien is accurate again.

-It's Newport 21-18 Swansea.

-This guy has plenty of pace.

-Gwion Jones has run away

-from his support there.

-The ball has been filched

-by Arron Quick.

-It goes to Rhodri Usher, Pontypool's

-leading try-scorer this season.

-Back it comes to Quick who scores

-the first try of the game.

-Completely against the run of play.

-SECOND HALF

-Head down and drive from Lloyd Pike.

-The try must come, surely.

-Jonny Lewis took on

-Tuipulotu on the inside.

-He nearly loses his head but the

-centre turned fly half has scored.

-Llanelli's first try takes them...

-..into the lead

-for the first time in this match.

-That's a great angle by Ben Sparks.

-It asks questions of the Llanelli

-defence on their weaker shoulder.

-Coundley strides away like a centre.

-Quick to Nash,

-with that loose, flowing hair.

-Five metres from the Llanelli line.

-They are inching their way

-to the try line.

-Llanelli dive in low.

-Fawcett with the tackle.

-Nash was trying to support him.

-He can applaud the try now.

-The all-important try

-has been scored.

-It should take Pontypool

-into the next round.

-Flynn tries to clear for Aberavon.

-That one is down the throat of

-Phil Day, the Llandovery captain.

-They spread the ball and

-it's a chance for Craig Woodall.

-Woodall cuts back inside

-and he's only a metre short.

-The ball needs recycling.

-Gibson, the scrum half, scores.

-The holders have opened the scoring

-after four minutes.

-Jones collects and Ieuan Davies,

-the hooker, spreads it.

-The Wizards are trying to unleash

-some training ground magic here.

-They spin it wide and

-David Evans crosses the try line.

-The first try for the team

-leading the Premiership.

-The Drovers are on the Aberavon 22.

-That was quite a hit on Jon Thomas.

-The play continues and Woodall

-is so strong in possession.

-Three men combined

-to bring him down.

-Llandovery want to

-spread the ball quickly.

-Eager out to Warren.

-Warren heads for the corner but

-the reverse pass puts Eager over.

-Llandovery open up a gap.

-Worrall sprints away

-and Llandovery have men to spare.

-Craig Woodall flexes

-his considerable muscles again.

-He's still going and Woodall

-wasn't going to be denied.

-Can Aberavon get a consolation try

-in the final two minutes?

-They've dropped it

-and Eager boots it away.

-Jack Parkinson, the sub,

-has fresh legs to chase it down.

-It's a kind bounce and Parkinson

-will score in the corner.

-Six tries for the holders

-in a thumping win.

-There were no shocks

-in the other matches.

-All the Premiership teams won.

-Five teams managed

-to rack up over 50 points.

-RGC 1404 took the honours with

-the highest score of the round.

-Plenty of rugby there, a sport close

-to the heart of Huw Brassington.

-He is our guest.

-The extreme races

-have taken you across the world.

-Where did the story begin?

-It started in Snowdonia

-with Always Aim High.

-There are triathlons in Snowdonia

-like the Slateman and Sandman.

-Here you are finishing.

-Here you are finishing.

-

-The Snowman triathlon.

-A huge grin on your face.

-That's where it all started.

-It has inspired so many people

-to get out into Snowdonia.

-Always Aim High organize

-some great races.

-We've noticed on this programme...

-..that there is so much interest

-these days in these races.

-The Welsh landscape certainly helps.

-You used to play rugby but an injury

-brought that to an end.

-It's something with which

-a lot of people can identify.

-It's a tough sport.

-So many people get injured

-and I was one of them.

-It leaves a huge void in your life.

-You don't know what to do

-with all your energy.

-I found this

-and I haven't looked back.

-In your day job, you're an

-Engineering lecturer...

-..but have travelled the world.

-You were in New Zealand

-for the Pioneer Race.

-It's one of the world's

-most extreme races.

-This is the superb scenery

-in New Zealand.

-What was it like? You weren't

-quite ready for this race.

-It was a complete accident.

-I received an email five days

-before the race...

-..to say that a competitor's wife

-was injured.

-They needed someone

-to take her place.

-I said yes, something I do

-all the time these days!

-I found myself on the start line

-five days later with a hired bike.

-Next to me was a world champion

-and a Commonwealth Games champion!

-The top dogs in this sport and I was

-just a hairy potato from Caernarfon.

-I was clueless about riding a bike!

-You did very well.

-This has opened a lot of doors

-for you.

-You write for a well-known magazine,

-Outdoor Fitness.

-They are publishing Welsh articles.

-Excellent.

-Fair play to them for giving

-the Welsh language a stage.

-Not many big companies

-would do that.

-It started when I wrote a piece

-about Ultimate Hell Week.

-That was a BBC2 series.

-They liked the way

-that I wrote it...

-..and allowed me to use their

-name to enter all the races...

-..and to see what happens.

-I started writing

-in English for them...

-..and at the same time,

-in Welsh for Golwg.

-I told Outdoor Fitness about this...

-..and they were willing to publish

-my Welsh articles on their website.

-Your story is very interesting.

-We'll chat more later

-but now for some more rugby.

-You love your rugby and the

-Six Nations starts next weekend.

-It's not only the men who are

-opening their campaign in Italy.

-The women also open up

-against the Azzurri.

-There's a family who are hoping

-to inspire Wales.

-We've been to meet the father and

-daughter planning Welsh success.

-I enjoy this role very much.

-Things have gone very well.

-The women want a more professional

-level.

-They want to train the same

-as the men do.

-That's easy for me

-because that's what I do.

-I prepare men

-to play in the men's squad.

-That was quite easy,

-but I've tried everything...

-..and I hope that shows

-in the way we've prepared.

-I know that as a team

-we still have a lot of work to do.

-No games in the Six Nations

-are going to be easy.

-We've gained confidence

-and we're growing as a team too.

-I started when I was eight years old

-up in Skewen RFC.

-My cousin and I were really close.

-I went to play with the under-eight

-boys at Skewen.

-Now I'm playing over

-the bridge in Bristol.

-She had a great interest

-when she was really young.

-I knew that this was she wanted to

-do.

-The problem for my wife and I

-was that both played on Sunday.

-One of us watched one of them and

-the other one watched the other.

-We'd switch over the following week.

-That's where the interest started.

-As a father, I've had the emotion of

-seeing her grow in the game.

-Playing with the Ospreys then Wales

-when she was young and playing now.

-Seeing her on The Gnoll against

-Scotland as captain.

-I've had all that emotion.

-Now, it's different

-because I see her as a player.

-Carys is just like all the other

-players in the squad.

-If she plays well,

-she'll get a chance.

-I'm not a favourite, I'm just part

-of the team like everyone else.

-I've got a lot of respect for Dad

-as a coach and a person.

-It's great to have

-someone like that coaching us.

-Every match is on the television

-this year.

-That shows how much the

-women's game has developed.

-That will be great because young

-girls can watch the games...

-..and get interested in playing the

-game themselves.

-If we get one young girl picking up

-a ball, we're doing things right.

-Once the Six Nations is over,

-we'll have a break of a day or two.

-Maybe more than that!

-The Six Nations is such an important

-tournament.

-The two biggest in the world are the

-Six Nations and the World Cup.

-We have both of those

-in seven months.

-There's a lot of rugby

-in my family...

-..so getting a chance to do this

-is a big thing for me and my family.

-I just hope I can

-make everyone proud.

-If we want to improve

-we have to play against the best.

-In the Six Nations we have a

-chance to do that.

-We have an opportunity

-to prepare well...

-..to go on and play

-teams like New Zealand.

-Good luck to the women in Italy.

-We'll be following the Six Nations

-closely over the next few weeks.

-It's an exciting time

-for rugby fans.

-Huw Jack Brassington is my guest.

-You say that you know

-Dyddgu Hywel well.

-She's a familiar name

-in the women's game these days.

-I taught with her for two years at

-Coleg Meirion Dwyfor in Dolgellau.

-She's a real leader

-on the rugby field.

-You would appreciate

-the amount of effort involved.

-The women's game is becoming

-a lot more professional.

-It takes a lot of dedication.

-Yes, they have to sacrifice

-a lot of their own time.

-When we were leaving to go home

-on a Thursday afternoon...

-..Dyddgu would be going to Llanelli

-to train.

-It's really tough for them

-and it's about time...

-..that the men and women's games

-were at the same level.

-I look forward to the Six Nations

-kicking off next weekend.

-Time for a break now but there's

-plenty more to come when we return.

-Welcome back.

-We were hoping to celebrate the

-successes of Lee Selby tonight.

-The boxer from Barry was all set...

-..to defend his IBF featherweight

-world title in Las Vegas last night.

-However, the bout was called off...

-..because his Argentine opponent

-failed a medical.

-Disappointment there for Selby.

-But his success

-and that of Nathan Cleverly...

-..another Welsh world

-boxing champion, in 2016...

-..was celebrated

-in Cardiff on Friday night...

-..at the Welsh Boxing Awards night.

-The Welsh boxing world gathered

-in Cardiff on Friday night...

-..to celebrate

-another successful year of boxing.

-Harry Carroll, Tony Borg and

-Charlie Pearson were honoured...

-..for their contribution Welsh

-boxing, and former referee...

-..and boxing historian,

-Wynford Jones announced...

-..who'd join

-Jim Driscoll and Joe Calzaghe....

-..in the Welsh Boxing Hall of Fame.

-I introduced Jimmy Wilde and Steve

-Robinson into the Hall of Fame.

-It was an honour

-to speak about both of them.

-I met Jimmy Wilde when I was a child

-and 60 years later...

-..I got the chance to speak about

-him in this situation.

-I refereed Steve Robinson

-three times.

-He's such a shy person

-and so unassuming.

-But he was so fit every time

-he stepped into the ring.

-Andrew Selby won the award

-for the most promising boxer.

-Craig Kennedy

-won fight of the year...

-..for his bout against

-Joel Tambwe Djeko.

-Of course, only one name was likely

-to win the main award of the night.

-Boxer of the year

-is Nathan Cleverly.

-He went through a bad patch.

-He made some wrong decisions

-in my opinion.

-But he then took the fight

-against Fonfara in America.

-I think that's the fight where he

-earned the chance to face Braehmer.

-They hadn't realised how strong and

-confident Nathan is at the moment.

-Two-time world champion now.

-We've got a long road ahead.

-I've got another good couple

-of years left in me...

-..and some of the best years ahead.

-We're so lucky

-to have so many champions...

-..and so many young talented

-boxers coming through.

-Overall

-the picture is looking strong.

-Wynford Jones with a big night

-for boxing in Wales.

-Andrew Selby, who won

-the most promising boxer award...

-..is Lee Selby's brother.

-Two Barry boys but only

-one of them won this weekend.

-We're headed for the ice next.

-We'll have news from

-the Cardiff Devils in a minute.

-First though, Cardiff Huskies.

-Clwb Ni is very special this week.

-When I was 18, I was diagnosed

-with Multiple Sclerosis...

-..also known as MS.

-I fractured my knee

-in five places ice skating.

-I lost my legs in Afghanistan

-in 2009 after standing on an IED.

-I was born with

-cardio and congenital myopathy.

-My disability

-is spina bifida from birth.

-I think what sledge hockey

-gives the individual...

-..is a sense of achievement

-and being part of a team.

-It gives you a sense of belonging,

-something you can attach to.

-Cardiff Sledge Hockey Club

-was set up in 1996.

-Andy McNulty approached the ice rink

-in the centre of town...

-..about setting up

-a sledge hockey team.

-They were given six weeks to see if

-they could get it up and running.

-Almost like one of those movies

-where everything comes together...

-..at the last minute, it was

-literally the last session that...

-..about half a dozen people

-turned up.

-From that they were able to form

-the Cardiff Huskies.

-The club just grew

-from strength to strength.

-In 2001, the British

-League was set up.

-In 2003,

-Cardiff Huskies won the league.

-Unfortunately in 2006,

-the club closed down.

-I think it was really important

-for us to re-establish the team.

-It was one of the strongest teams

-in the UK at the time.

-For me it was very important

-because it gave me something to do!

-I just found a love for the sport

-even though...

-..it's not the usual

-ice hockey I used to play.

-In my eyes it's exactly the same

-though you're sat on the sledge.

-Anything to get back on the ice

-is a bonus. I love doing what I do.

-It means a lot to me.

-It gives me an opportunity to play

-as part of a team.

-With other team sports like football

-it's obvious I can't play.

-I can't really run

-or take a bash to the side.

-We've been second in the league

-two years running.

-We'd like clearly to improve on

-that. We'd like to win the league.

-I like to think

-we play hard and we work hard.

-The banter we have

-on our away games...

-..the social side of it

-is really good fun.

-It's got me back into a team

-just like it was in the military.

-I'm working for people

-and they're working for me.

-It's great fitness,

-it keeps me occupied.

-It keeps my mind set on something

-to do for the rest of the week.

-Great to meet the Cardiff Huskies.

-We stay on the ice

-with the Cardiff Devils next.

-They've been at the top

-of the Elite League all season.

-The crowds are flocking

-to the games in the capital.

-Every game has 3,000 fans there.

-It was the same story last night

-against the Nottingham Panthers.

-There was a five star show for

-the manic Devil fans last night.

-The home team were on fire

-in the first period.

-The first goal

-took 15 minutes to arrive.

-Gleason Fournier

-with the long distance effort.

-Joey Haddad, right in front of

-the keeper, got the crucial touch.

-The next goal

-arrived 15 seconds later.

-The Devils stole the ball and Chris

-Culligan found the perfect pass.

-Matthew Myers took full advantage.

-Superb by Culligan

-and Myers doubling the lead.

-The Devils were in full control

-in front of a 3,000 strong crowd.

-The Panthers were chasing shadows.

-Sean Bentivoglio

-passed to Layne Ulmer.

-Mika Wiikman stopped

-the initial shot...

-..but he could do little to stop

-Joey Martin making it 3-0.

-Three goals in three minutes.

-Wiikman was replaced by

-Jindrich Pacl at this point.

-Pacl managed to halt the goal rush

-for the second period.

-There were more goals

-in the final period.

-The fourth came

-after great pressure.

-Possession stolen again

-and Ulmer setting it up again.

-Patrick Asselin making it 4-0.

-The Panthers had injury worries

-but the Devils showed them no mercy.

-There was time for one more

-when the Panthers tried attacking.

-Mark Louis spotted Patrick Bordeleau

-completely in the clear.

-The goalkeeper's save only increased

-Bordeleau's determination to score.

-A five star show from the Devils.

-Bowns was also on form completing

-his first shutout of the season.

-The Panthers skulk back to

-Nottingham to lick their wounds.

-The Devils care little about that.

-Here is the league table

-after last night's matches.

-It's still tight at the top

-but the Giants and the Devils...

-..are starting to open up

-a gap between them and the rest.

-Welcome back.

-I have two guests in the studio,

-two good looking guests...

-..in Huw Jack Brassington

-and the Welsh Cup.

-Huw pushes himself

-to the limits in extreme races.

-We'll chat with him

-about his future plans later on...

-..but first, we had shock results

-in the Welsh Cup and the FA Cup...

-..over the weekend.

-The smaller clubs have been having

-a ball in the Cup competitions.

-In the Welsh Cup, the Clwb cameras

-went to the borders to Guilsfield.

-They welcomed Cardiff Met.

-Cardiff Met are in the top half

-of the Welsh Premier League...

-..whilst Guilsfield are seventh

-in the Cymru Alliance.

-I've been looking forward

-to the game for weeks.

-It's a good game for us against

-a Welsh Premier League club.

-Our form has dropped

-in the league in the new year.

-This is a chance to improve

-and get a good result today.

-The corner kick

-is aimed at the far post.

-There's confusion in the six-yard

-box and the ball is in the net.

-Robbie James has given Guilsfield

-the lead.

-That's a mistake by the home side.

-This is a chance

-for the students to counter-attack.

-What a mess!

-Adam Roscrow has equalized

-for Cardiff Met.

-Guilsfield at sixes and sevens.

-Jordan Lam regains possession.

-Corsby has Eliot Evans

-sprinting down the right wing.

-Evans receives the ball but

-there's a hint of offside there.

-Evans gets the ball back.

-A minute after equalizing

-the students have taken the lead.

-Louie Irvine.

-What an effort! That's a great goal.

-Guilsfield have equalized.

-Irvine. McCarthy continues his run

-but Irvine perseveres.

-Irvine into the penalty box

-and he's going it alone.

-The ball is loose

-and the defence is a shambles.

-It's in the back of the net.

-Guilsfield have the lead again.

-The long ball forward. Litchfield

-to Cook and back to Litchfield.

-Great play by Guilsfield.

-The ball across the face of the

-goal is deflected into the net.

-It's an own goal by Emlyn Lewis.

-SECOND HALF

-Guilsfield are still pressing

-despite having the lead.

-Lewis clears and

-the shot is saved by Fuller.

-The danger is still there

-for Cardiff Met.

-Henderson hits the post.

-Irvine's effort deflects away

-for a corner kick.

-The long throw towards Baker.

-The ball has been cleared,

-but only as far as Emlyn Lewis.

-Evans, the sub,

-with a pitiful effort...

-..that sums up the student's efforts

-this afternoon.

-I said before the game

-that we have been poor this season.

-The boys wanted to show

-the club and the committee...

-..that we can take on

-the big boys and threaten them.

-We've done that now.

-Let's not talk about us but

-give Guilsfield the plaudits.

-They were fantastic.

-They bossed the game. We were

-second best. Good luck to them.

-There's a good vibe around the club.

-It's a nice break from the league.

-We're not doing

-that well in the league...

-..so we're looking forward

-to the draw.

-Cup football is brilliant.

-Who can argue with that?

-It's brilliant.

-Quite a few unexpected results

-this weekend.

-Look at the clubs

-from the Huws Gray Alliance.

-Prestatyn thrashed Aberystwyth.

-Caernarfon's superb

-game against Rhyl was live on S4C.

-Sgorio will have

-all the highlights tomorrow.

-Llanfair Utd beat Cefn Druids which

-means that in the last eight...

-..there are four Huws Gray Alliance

-and four Welsh Premier sides.

-TNS are there. Trundle's Magic Daps

-couldn't stop them.

-This is how the draw panned out

-live on S4C yesterday evening.

-Guilsfield's reward

-is a home tie against Bala.

-Caernarfon travel to Llanfair.

-Prestatyn, clear at the top of

-their division, play Connah's Quay.

-TNS play Bangor and one of

-those matches will be live on S4C.

-Lots of excitement in the Welsh Cup.

-Who will lift this majestic Cup?

-We're off to the Racecourse now

-as we feature Wrexham.

-It's been quite a good new year

-so far despite losing on 1 January.

-They've been on a good run since.

-Boreham Wood were the visitors.

-Ollie Shenton is on loan from

-Stoke City. This is Rutherford.

-Rutherford crosses looking for

-White. Kenny Davis heads clear.

-Only as far as Russell Penn.

-Penn shoots!

-Penn is still looking

-for his first goal for the Reds.

-Tilt with the free kick towards

-the giant, Jordan White.

-Inside to McLeod

-who's brought down by Devera!

-Anthony Barry. Smith had no hope.

-Anthony Barry's

-first goal of the season.

-Penn. Shenton. McLeod.

-McLeod on a run. Smith saves.

-White.

-Matthew Paine gets hit in the head.

-If anybody has an apt surname,

-it's Paine!

-Penn.

-He's controlled things in midfield.

-He spreads the play to Rutherford.

-The defender is Ilesanmi.

-He crosses. White!

-An excellent save by Smith.

-A great cross and a perfect header.

-Evans, the captain, is on as a

-substitute.

-To Shenton. Shenton has room

-to shoot! Excellent from Smith.

-It's a corner.

-Carrington out towards McLeod.

-It bounces back to McLeod.

-Loose from the defender, Ilesanmi.

-White is calling for it.

-White shoots! Smith saves!

-A good shot from White.

-Jeffrey.

-Boreham Wood are getting back into

-the game in the second half.

-There's a chance for Jeffrey!

-Just inches wide

-from Anthony Jeffrey.

-Jeffrey to Ferrier.

-Back to Anthony Jeffrey.

-He's past Riley. Danger here.

-There's no doubt that's a penalty.

-Carrington was the culprit.

-What on earth was he doing?

-This is Ferrier. Oh, Morgan Ferrier.

-That was a Panenka!

-It's all square at 1-1.

-Jennings. To Rutherford. Massanka.

-Smith stops it.

-Rutherford's in for it. It reaches

-White. Smith falls on it.

-He's not at all happy

-with Rutherford.

-Paul Rutherford

-had every right go for this.
