0:02:05 > 0:02:08- I knew plenty of people - who spoke Welsh...

0:02:57 > 0:03:03- It's hard to do all the time, - there's no incentive.
0:03:03 > 0:03:09- It's a greater incentive when you - know you're meeting up with others.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- That covers the social side - of the sport...

0:17:35 > 0:17:40- ..are often reluctant to take part - because of a lack of confidence.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44- Is that how you see it - or are there other reasons?

0:18:24 > 0:18:28- It's good for your body and soul.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- It also helps your mental health.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35- Charmine, Angharad mentioned - that traditionally...
0:18:35 > 0:18:40- ..only netball and hockey - are played in schools.
0:18:40 > 0:18:45- Do you think schools - should offer more?
0:18:46 > 0:18:47- Definitely.
0:18:48 > 0:18:54- I was lucky at school. - I played cricket and football.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58- We didn't have many chances - to play against other schools.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- We didn't have time to train.
0:19:01 > 0:19:06- If more schools offered - a variety of sports...
0:19:06 > 0:19:12- ..it would help the campaign - for people to choose a sport.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16- Was it only netball and hockey - you played at school?
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- Was there more of a variety?
0:19:19 > 0:19:22- They were the main sports...
0:19:22 > 0:19:28- ..but I did play basketball, - football and cricket.
0:19:29 > 0:19:34- I was quite sporty - so I played everything.
0:19:34 > 0:19:41- I wasn't too bothered - about playing hockey or netball.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44- It was the chance - to play other sports...
0:19:44 > 0:19:49- ..that kept me interested - throughout my life.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51- Thanks for the moment.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54- We'll chat more a bit later.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56- Ice hockey is next.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- It's been a tremendous year - for the Cardiff Devils.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- They're celebrating - their 30th anniversary...
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- ..they've already won - the Challenge Cup...
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- ..and despite losing to the - Sheffield Steelers last weekend...
0:20:07 > 0:20:12- ..they only needed one more victory - to win the Elite League.
0:20:12 > 0:20:17- Last night they faced - the Steelers once more.
0:20:21 > 0:20:26- After losing 6-2 a week ago, - the Devils wanted their revenge...
0:20:26 > 0:20:28- ..as they travelled to Yorkshire.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31- They didn't have to wait long - for the first goal.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36- Mark Richardson netted - after only 26 seconds.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43- Before the end of the first period, - the Devils were further ahead.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47- Slick passing found - the unmarked Patrick Asselin.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52- He started the move - and was there to finish it off.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- The Steelers were - last year's champions...
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- ..and weren't about to give up - their title easily on home soil.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- Ben O'Connor pulled one back - from distance.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08- That didn't worry the Devils - as they went for a third goal.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13- Andrew Hotham hit the bar and - Joey Martin was quickest to react.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- Hotham was unlucky with his effort.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- Before the Steelers could - work out where the puck had gone...
0:21:22 > 0:21:24- ..it was in the net.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30- The fourth was a great individual - effort from Sean Bentivoglio.
0:21:30 > 0:21:36- The Devils put their stamp on - the game early in the third period.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46- The Steelers' second goal - was ultimately just a consolation.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- Geoff Walker's effort couldn't stop - the Devils relishing...
0:21:50 > 0:21:54- ..the fact that the game and - championship was within reach.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59- Within a minute, - player-coach Andrew Lord...
0:21:59 > 0:22:04- ..saw his shot fly past - three defenders and the keeper.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- The party was about to begin.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11- There was one more to come - right at the very end.
0:22:13 > 0:22:18- Patrick Bordeleau stretched - to send the puck across the ice...
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- ..and into the empty net.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- 6-2 to the Devils this time around.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29- The capital side win the - championship with three games to go.
0:22:29 > 0:22:36- The players were delighted, as - were the 400 travelling supporters.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41- With three games to spare, it's - a different kind of celebration.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- We're used to a Challenge Cup final - or something like that.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48- So proud of these guys. - They've had an amazing year so far.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52- It's a long way from over but we're - really happy to win this trophy.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57- Confirmation that the Devils - have won the Elite League...
0:22:57 > 0:22:59- ..for the first time in 20 years.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02- They've won two out of three - trophies so far this season.

0:23:06 > 0:23:11- Angharad, you're going to watch - the Devils next weekend.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- Yes, this will be my first time. - I'm looking forward.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16- Have you heard about the atmosphere?
0:23:16 > 0:23:19- Have you heard about the atmosphere?- - It's meant to be a real show.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21- How much other sport do you watch?
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- Whatever is going on really.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- My friends suggest something - and I go for it.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- It's fun seeing new sports.

0:24:29 > 0:24:33- We'll come to the big game in Dublin - on Friday night in a moment...
0:24:33 > 0:24:37- ..but we turn our attention - to the National Conference first.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39- With nine games to go this season...
0:24:39 > 0:24:43- ..Wrexham were 10 points off - the play-off places.
0:24:43 > 0:24:50- A victory would have been a timely - boost and this is how it went.
0:25:01 > 0:25:06- Carter goes past Barry and passes - towards Noble, who shoots!
0:25:07 > 0:25:11- An early save from Chris Dunn.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15- Riley to Barry.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- That's a loose pass from Barry.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21- Woolery gets the ball back - from Noble.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26- Woolery is on a charge - and Penn is back defending.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28- But the pass finds Noble!
0:25:28 > 0:25:33- Another superb save from Dunn to - thwart Forest Green Rovers' captain.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- It's thrown towards Jordan White.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- The referee gives a free-kick - and White is furious.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45- Pinnock went down - like a sack of spuds.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51- The free kick is over everyone - and Dunn makes the save!
0:25:51 > 0:25:55- A chance for Wrexham to clear - but Carrington can't manage it.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- The danger is still there - Bennett!
0:25:58 > 0:26:04- Seconds before half-time, - Forest Green Rovers were pressing.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- Wrexham failed to clear...
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- ..and Dale Bennett - has put the home side in front.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17- SECOND HALF
0:26:17 > 0:26:20- Noble gets the ball - and charges forward.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23- He has support up front - but Noble goes it alone.
0:26:23 > 0:26:28- This time he decides - to pass the ball.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32- Woolery falls in the box - and it's a penalty.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- It was an untidy tackle - from Martin Riley.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- Noble to double Forest Green Rovers' - advantage.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- And he does just that - at the start of the second half.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47- Wrexham now have a mountain - to climb.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52- Noble.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55- What a pass towards Doidge.
0:26:55 > 0:27:00- A good save from Dunn but they - come again to force another save.
0:27:01 > 0:27:06- Jennings manages to clear - but Noble's pass split the defence.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10- Carter couldn't find a way - past Dunn.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14- Noble.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16- It's over the defence - to Christian Doidge...
0:27:17 > 0:27:23- ..who lifts the ball and sees it - drop into the back of the net.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26- The former Carmarthen player...
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- ..has crowned a perfect afternoon - for Forest Green Rovers.
0:27:36 > 0:27:37- Noble.
0:27:38 > 0:27:39- Woolery to Carter.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- Carter! It's a superb save by Dunn.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47- It speaks volumes that Dunn - has been Wrexham's best player...
0:27:47 > 0:27:49- ..despite losing 3-0.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53- First 35 minutes, I thought decent - enough shape, we frustrated them.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57- You could feel the tension - and the pressure on them to win.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01- They get a free kick - three minutes before half time.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05- Their player dives. Even their bench - said it wasn't a free kick.
0:28:06 > 0:28:11- Apart from Chris Dunn, - we weren't good enough.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16- To come to a team like this - who are obviously doing well.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19- We are a little bit disappointed.
0:28:19 > 0:28:20- A lot of things - didn't go our way today.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26- It appears that the faint hope - of reaching the play-offs is over.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30- Dean Keates will concentrate - on next season from now on.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35- A disappointing result for Wrexham - and there were further losses...
0:28:35 > 0:28:39- ..for Swansea in the Premier League - and Newport in Division Two.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43- Better news for Cardiff winning 3-1 - against Ipswich in the Championship.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47- Right then, on Friday night, Wales - will continue their campaign...
0:28:48 > 0:28:52- ..to reach the World Cup - in Russia next season.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56- On Thursday morning, - Chris Coleman announced his squad...
0:28:56 > 0:28:59- ..to play the Republic of Ireland.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02- There was one name - on everyone's lips...
0:29:02 > 0:29:06- ..and for once, - it wasn't Gareth Bale.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11- When he played for Liverpool - and he was on the bench...
0:29:11 > 0:29:14- ..and then he came on and he - scored on his debut at Anfield...
0:29:14 > 0:29:19- ..at the Kop End and everyone said, - "Take a look at Ben Woodburn."
0:29:19 > 0:29:21- "I don't need to look - at Ben Woodburn...
0:29:21 > 0:29:23- "..I've been watching for years.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25- "We know what a good player he is."
0:29:25 > 0:29:27- He's kept it going.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29- I'm looking forward - to bringing Ben in...
0:29:29 > 0:29:32- ..and giving him experience - with the first team squad.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36- Good for him - and he deserves his chance.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39- The Republic Ireland are not - a team of stars but they're a team.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43- The managerial team leading them, - it's some combination.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45- Martin O'Neill and Roy Keane.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47- I have a lot of respect - for Martin O'Neill.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49- I think he's an excellent manager.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53- I think they are top of the group - and they deserve to be there.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56- When you look at the games - that they have won...
0:29:56 > 0:30:01- ..you wouldn't call it - swashbuckling football...
0:30:01 > 0:30:03- ..but they get the job done.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07- Qualifying in the Euros - and getting to the tournament...
0:30:07 > 0:30:10- ..getting out of the group, - great job by Martin.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14- He's kept that going, - they've kept the momentum going...
0:30:14 > 0:30:18- ..and there's fine margins - where they win in Austria 1-0...
0:30:18 > 0:30:20- ..and we go there and draw 2-2.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23- We were in the lead twice - and we let it slip.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25- They beat Georgia at home 1-0.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28- Georgia hit the bar, hit the post.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31- We're 1-0 up against Georgia - at home.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33- We let it slip, draw 1-1.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36- That's where we've slipped up - in games.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39- Hats off to Martin - and the Republic of Ireland.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42- He's doing a fantastic job - and he's an excellent manager.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45- The experience - and people forget where he's been..
0:30:45 > 0:30:47- ..and what he's achieved.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50- I'm going to have my hands full - and we have our hands full...
0:30:50 > 0:30:53- ..going into this game, - that's for sure.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57- I'm sure Chris Coleman, his coaching - staff and all Welsh supporters...
0:30:58 > 0:31:00- ..will have breathed - a huge sigh of relief...
0:31:00 > 0:31:07- ..when Gareth Bale tweeted last - night that he was fully focused...
0:31:07 > 0:31:10- ..on Friday's international.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13- Real Madrid won against - Atletico Bilbao yesterday...
0:31:13 > 0:31:16- ..and you can catch highlights - of that game on Sgorio...
0:31:16 > 0:31:19- ..tomorrow night at 6.30pm.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23- In terms of the rest of the squad, - there were no injuries...
0:31:23 > 0:31:25- ..but there were a few goals.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28- Hal Robson-Kanu - scored against Arsenal...
0:31:28 > 0:31:31- ..a minute after coming on - as a replacement.

0:31:40 > 0:31:45- Another squad member playing for - Villa yesterday was Neil Taylor...

0:31:50 > 0:31:52- ..earlier in the week.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57- Neil, good to see you, mate, in this - impressive Aston Villa facility.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59- New club, how's it going?
0:31:59 > 0:32:01- It's going great, to be honest.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04- It is a massive football club.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06- A really big team - when I was growing up.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08- I made my debut against them - for Wrexham.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11- When the opportunity came - to come to this football club...
0:32:11 > 0:32:14- ..I wanted to challenge myself - and I'm happy to be here.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17- Moving down from the Premier League - to the Championship.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20- Did you consider not coming here - because of that?
0:32:20 > 0:32:22- Were you just at a stage - where you just wanted to play?
0:32:23 > 0:32:26- It didn't even cross my mind - dropping down a league.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29- I thought about it briefly but when - I knew about this football club...
0:32:29 > 0:32:31- ..it was a different challenge - for me.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34- I could have stayed at Swansea.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37- I had a couple of years - left on my contract.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41- As a footballer, when somebody - wants you it makes a big difference.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44- As soon as I knew - it was this football club...
0:32:44 > 0:32:46- ..I had no issues - with dropping down a league.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49- To come to Aston Villa - you had to leave Swansea.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51- You had seven years at the club.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54- In that length of time, you grow - an affinity with the people.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56- How hard was it to leave?
0:32:57 > 0:32:59- It was really difficult.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02- The deadline day - was on the Monday or Tuesday.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05- I only got the call on the Friday - before which gave me the option.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08- The club was doing it - as a swap deal.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11- At the age of 28...
0:33:11 > 0:33:16- ..I thought to myself that I was - in my comfort zone at Swansea.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19- I was one of the senior lads there.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21- I felt like going - to challenge myself again...
0:33:21 > 0:33:24- ..whilst I'm supposed - to be in my prime.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26- To go and have a go - at something new.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29- The club had also gone through - a massive transition phase.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32- It was difficult for some of us - who had been there for years...
0:33:32 > 0:33:35- ..and the way we played football - and had been working.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39- The club had changed a lot - from top to bottom.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41- The game on the weekend before...
0:33:41 > 0:33:44- ..had fourteen new lads - playing for the club.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47- The club was in that - transition phase.
0:33:48 > 0:33:53- I was a player who had been - there in the last phase of success.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56- I thought it was right for me to - move on and try it somewhere else.
0:33:56 > 0:34:00- Coming to a new club, do you contact - the gaffer, Chris Coleman?
0:34:00 > 0:34:03- Is he supportive of whatever - decision you make?
0:34:03 > 0:34:05- I did contact him - and spoke to him about it.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07- For any international manager...
0:34:07 > 0:34:09- ..as long as you're playing - football, they're happy.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12- It's when you're not - playing football...
0:34:12 > 0:34:16- ..it's not beneficial - for an international manager.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19- As long as I was happy and it - was right for my family and me...
0:34:20 > 0:34:22- ..then Chris Coleman has always been - supportive of every player.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25- I've done my research - coming here to interview you.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29- Wikipedia, 160 appearances - for Swansea, 0 goals.
0:34:29 > 0:34:35- Big Olsson has come in at left back - and has two goals already.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37- How does that make you feel?
0:34:37 > 0:34:40- I don't know. - How many crosses come into the box?
0:34:40 > 0:34:42- That's what I look at.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45- Not bothered one bit.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48- The happiest I've been - in the last three weeks...
0:34:48 > 0:34:50- ..is the fact that we've got - four out of five clean sheets.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53- That tells you how boring - a footballer I am!
0:34:53 > 0:34:57- I should definitely - score more goals.
0:34:57 > 0:35:01- Four in ten years isn't great.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03- The last one.
0:35:03 > 0:35:07- That one was on a half-decent stage. - I'm not sure anyone saw it.
0:35:07 > 0:35:11- It's one I can pull out of - the locker whenever I need to.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14- Has Olsson scored in the Euros, - that's the question.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16- It's a question for a lot of people.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20- I'm not sure Ronaldo scored in - the third game of the group stage.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24- I'm not sure a lot of people - can shout about that one.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28- I should definitely score more - goals but it's not my No.1 priority.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31- As long as the football team wins, - I'm not too bothered.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34- A big game is coming up next week.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36- It's been a bit of a break - since the Serbia game.
0:35:36 > 0:35:40- Have you been in touch with the lads - or did you need a break from them?
0:35:40 > 0:35:43- The lads are always in touch. - We've got a group chat.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46- We often take the mick out - of each other.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49- We are pretty much family - after that last summer.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52- We struggled, - especially after the Euros.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55- Quite a lot of us - had deep depression.
0:35:55 > 0:36:00- Them lads will always be mates now - until the end of life...
0:36:00 > 0:36:02- ..because of the summer - we spent together.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05- We always look forward - to joining up together.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09- How do you see the game against - Ireland who are top of the group?
0:36:09 > 0:36:11- It's a position we'd like to be in.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13- What is your assessment of them?
0:36:13 > 0:36:15- They're quite similar to us.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18- They've got a great work ethic - throughout their team.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20- They've got a game plan - they stick to...
0:36:20 > 0:36:23- ..and they know - what they need to do.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25- The lads seem to get on really well.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28- That's the basis for any good team.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30- You've got to take - your hat off to them.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33- To come off the back of what was - a good Euros for them as well.
0:36:34 > 0:36:35- They started well again.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39- This is a game where we have to make - sure we get a result.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41- At least a draw and hopefully a win.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45- If they win, the group is in - the hands of others, not ours.
0:36:45 > 0:36:50- You want to be going into next - season in the mix.
0:36:50 > 0:36:56- That would give us a chance to - push on like in the Euro campaign.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58- It's a big game.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01- A Friday night for Welsh fans - to travel over to Dublin.

0:37:13 > 0:37:17- Wales are currently in third - position in their qualifying group.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21- They trail the Republic of Ireland - by four points.
0:37:21 > 0:37:26- As Neil Taylor suggested, they - need a positive result on Friday...
0:37:26 > 0:37:29- ..or matters - could be taken out of their hands.
