0:00:19 > 0:00:23- The clocks have gone forward, - the sun's been shining across Wales.

0:00:23 > 0:00:26- It's Mother's Day - - that's all the good news.

0:00:26 > 0:00:29- The bad news - we'll be - discussing Welsh football...

0:00:29 > 0:00:32- ..and the fall-out from the game - on Friday night in Dublin.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34- Here's what's coming up.

0:00:35 > 0:00:38- The semi-finals - of the WRU National Cup.

0:00:38 > 0:00:42- Rygbi Gogledd Cymru v Merthyr - and Pontypridd v Cross Keys.

0:00:44 > 0:00:46- We head to Holyhead for Clwb Ni...

0:00:47 > 0:00:49- ..to join - Holyhead Celts basketball team.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56- Geraint Hardy puts his best foot - forward as he goes for a walk...

0:00:56 > 0:01:00- ..with British and Welsh race - walking champion Bethan Davies.

0:01:02 > 0:01:03- We're also at The Racecourse.

0:01:03 > 0:01:07- Highlights of Wrexham against - Torquay in the National Conference.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16- Plenty to come. I'm joined by - former Wales striker Malcolm Allen.

0:01:17 > 0:01:19- We'll be discussing - the Republic of Ireland game.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22- Nice to have you here, - nice to be home.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25- I wouldn't have been here - had we won the game.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27- We're glad you're here, I think!

0:01:28 > 0:01:30- We're not happy about the result - though.

0:01:30 > 0:01:34- There's been a lot of debate - after that scoreless draw...

0:01:34 > 0:01:38- ..against the Republic of Ireland - and Neil Taylor's red card.

0:01:38 > 0:01:42- Let's hear the reaction - after the game in Dublin.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45- It was a competitive game.

0:01:45 > 0:01:49- We knew it was going to be tight, - it always is.

0:01:49 > 0:01:53- We knew what the atmosphere - would be like.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56- It turned out to be - a very close match.

0:01:56 > 0:02:00- When it was 11 v 11, there was - one team controlling the game...

0:02:00 > 0:02:01- ..and that was us.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05- We've had Bale and Rambo back, - they're a bit rusty...

0:02:05 > 0:02:07- ..they've not been playing much.

0:02:08 > 0:02:12- We lacked that little bit - of ruthlessness in the last third.

0:02:12 > 0:02:15- Hal Robson-Kanu - has not been playing that regularly.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17- Neither has Sam Vokes.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20- That's international football. - It's the same for Ireland.

0:02:20 > 0:02:24- We didn't create too much. - We made it difficult for us.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27- Second half we played better, - we had a lot of chances.

0:02:27 > 0:02:33- Obviously, we had the sending-off - but the boys fought very hard...

0:02:33 > 0:02:37- ..and to play the last 20 - with 10 men, a point's not too bad.

0:02:37 > 0:02:41- Of course Neil's upset, - for two reasons...

0:02:41 > 0:02:44- ..the red card - and the injury to Seamus Coleman.

0:02:45 > 0:02:49- We knew he was a good player, - the Republic's captain.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51- I hope it's not a nasty injury.

0:02:52 > 0:02:57- Of course it's never nice to see. - It's an unfortunate tackle.

0:02:58 > 0:02:59- I wish the best for Coleman.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03- For us, going down to 10 men, - we dug in well.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06- We're going to miss him - in the next couple of games.

0:03:06 > 0:03:10- We have a strong team - and we'll be back for the next one.

0:03:10 > 0:03:14- I think it's very tight, - I don't think Wales are out of it.

0:03:14 > 0:03:19- Anyone who finishes ahead of Serbia - will probably win the group.

0:03:19 > 0:03:24- It was always going to be tight. - Austria have won tonight as well.

0:03:24 > 0:03:29- Plenty of debate after the scoreless - game in Dublin on Friday.

0:03:29 > 0:03:33- As both teams walked out, - you said it was a must-win game.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35- Do you still believe that?

0:03:36 > 0:03:40- We'll see at the end of - the campaign if I was right or not.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43- Three points would have made - the group a lot tighter.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46- Four points is still a big gap.

0:03:46 > 0:03:51- We're only halfway through the - campaign and we're still unbeaten.

0:03:51 > 0:03:55- We missed a trick - against the Republic on Friday.

0:03:55 > 0:04:00- They defended deeply and we - didn't take advantage of that.

0:04:00 > 0:04:04- We didn't create enough chances - in the final third of the pitch.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07- The passes weren't quick enough...

0:04:07 > 0:04:10- ..the accuracy was lacking - for the first 20 minutes.

0:04:11 > 0:04:17- Looking back, I think we should - have got hold of that game.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20- Joe Allen did everything - he could on his own...

0:04:20 > 0:04:23- ..to grab the game - and go on to win it.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25- One or two players - were off form on Friday.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29- Let's look at the table - after the weekend's games.

0:04:29 > 0:04:33- It's still close, - as Martin O'Neill pointed out.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35- There are four teams - towards the top.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39- Austria are level with Wales - after losing two games.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41- There's four points in it.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44- I said at the start - of the campaign...

0:04:44 > 0:04:50- ..whoever takes points off Austria, - the Republic, Serbia and Wales...

0:04:50 > 0:04:55- ..whoever takes points from those - four teams will win the group.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57- I still believe that.

0:04:57 > 0:05:01- We've taken three points off - Austria, the Republic and Serbia.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04- Three drawn games. - That's not been good enough.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06- We needed to win one of those.

0:05:06 > 0:05:11- Yes, it's still wide open but they - have momentum, especially Serbia.

0:05:11 > 0:05:15- We're going there in June - without Gareth Bale.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18- We've only won one game - in six years without him.

0:05:18 > 0:05:23- That's a negative but when one door - closes, another one will open.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27- Why not take a chance - on an uncapped player?

0:05:27 > 0:05:31- Ben Woodburn and Harry Wilson - are still young...

0:05:31 > 0:05:36- ..but there are players there who - are waiting for their best games.

0:05:36 > 0:05:40- We need a challenge, we need - something to ignite the squad.

0:05:40 > 0:05:44- Chris Coleman has had - a lot of success...

0:05:44 > 0:05:48- ..and he's stuck with the players - who've helped him succeed.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51- One or two should be looking - over their shoulders.

0:05:51 > 0:05:55- There are players coming up behind - them who could take their places.

0:05:55 > 0:06:01- There will be changes in Serbia, - Bale's out, Taylor's out.

0:06:01 > 0:06:04- What about the reaction - after Taylor's tackle?

0:06:04 > 0:06:10- The players have been roundly - criticised in the newspapers.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13- It's unfair, it's unfair.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16- We know it's a serious injury.

0:06:16 > 0:06:22- I wish Seamus Coleman a speedy - recovery, as does everyone in Wales.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24- He's a quiet, unassuming player...

0:06:25 > 0:06:29- ..but he's a very influential player - for Everton and the Republic.

0:06:29 > 0:06:33- Psychologically, it's going to be - a long journey for him.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36- I hope he can get his career - back on track.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40- For Neil Taylor, - he'll be scarred by that incident.

0:06:40 > 0:06:44- He'll never get over that tackle. - He has to learn to live with it.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47- The way it's all been reported...

0:06:47 > 0:06:51- ..we've only had three players - sent off in eight years.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54- None of the tackles - were nasty tackles.

0:06:54 > 0:06:59- He mistimed this challenge, he knows - what he did better than anyone.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02- It was a messy game by then too, - for both countries.

0:07:03 > 0:07:07- There were one or two things - I didn't like about the first half.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10- We rolled up our sleeves - and came back out.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12- Every game - is going to be competitive...

0:07:12 > 0:07:17- ..when you play England, Scotland, - Northern Ireland or the Republic.

0:07:17 > 0:07:21- We're Welsh, we want to win - the right to win every game.

0:07:21 > 0:07:25- We crossed the line and - it's a pity it all ended like that.

0:07:26 > 0:07:30- The way they're trying to tarnish - Wales at the moment is wrong.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33- It's odd reading - some of the reports.

0:07:33 > 0:07:37- You said it was a must-win game. - Is Serbia in June a must-win game?

0:07:38 > 0:07:41- The four teams at the top - of the group play one another.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44- That's going to be some day.

0:07:44 > 0:07:49- I said before the Republic game - that it was a must-win game.

0:07:49 > 0:07:54- We had a scoreless game - and finished the game with 10 men.

0:07:54 > 0:07:59- We have to take that - and it could be a precious point.

0:07:59 > 0:08:05- The next game is as important as - the semi-final against Portugal...

0:08:05 > 0:08:08- ..last year in the Euros.

0:08:08 > 0:08:12- This one, without Gareth Bale, - is one we must win.

0:08:13 > 0:08:17- If we don't win this one, - what's going to happen next?

0:08:18 > 0:08:21- Questions will be asked - of Chris Coleman.

0:08:21 > 0:08:22- I don't want to see him go...

0:08:23 > 0:08:26- ..but he's already said he's leaving - at the end of this campaign.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29- What would be the point - of letting him manage Wales...

0:08:30 > 0:08:33- ..with four games to go, - you'd have to change things.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36- We'll talk further - before the end of the programme.

0:08:36 > 0:08:40- We could talk for hours - after everything that happened.

0:08:40 > 0:08:44- Ice hockey next and the Cardiff - Devils success story continues.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47- They're celebrating - their 30th anniversary this year.

0:08:47 > 0:08:51- They're going for the treble, - they've already done the double.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53- The Belfast Giants - were in town last night.

0:08:56 > 0:09:01- After winning against Fife last - weekend, it was celebration time...

0:09:01 > 0:09:06- ..as the Devils won the Elite League - for the first time in 20 years.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09- The champagne really was on ice.

0:09:11 > 0:09:15- One team that's pushed them - all season is the Belfast Giants.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18- The Devils went ahead - in the first minute.

0:09:18 > 0:09:22- Sean Bentivoglio rounds off - a slick move.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26- The goalie gets his hand to the puck - but can't keep it out.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30- The Giants roared back - after 13 minutes.

0:09:30 > 0:09:33- It was some effort by Chris Higgins.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36- The Devils stood fast in defence...

0:09:37 > 0:09:41- ..but Higgins improvised - to bring the scores level.

0:09:42 > 0:09:43- Some effort by Higgins.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48- Into the second period - and the Devils were back in front.

0:09:49 > 0:09:52- Asselin isolated but retained - the puck in the Giants' half.

0:09:53 > 0:09:59- The tactic paid off as Layne Ulmer - set up Bentivoglio for his second.

0:10:04 > 0:10:05- The second of the night...

0:10:05 > 0:10:08- ..and no problem - for the star man on the night.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12- Don't blink or you'll miss this one.

0:10:12 > 0:10:16- Jim Vandermeer with the shot - that caught everyone napping...

0:10:16 > 0:10:19- ..from the goalie to the cameraman.

0:10:21 > 0:10:27- That made it 2-2 but the Devils - struck back through Bentivoglio.

0:10:27 > 0:10:31- A hat-trick for Bentivoglio - who's scored 19 this season.

0:10:31 > 0:10:35- The home team were ahead - for the third time.

0:10:36 > 0:10:39- When Matthew Myers struck - to make it 4-2...

0:10:40 > 0:10:42- ..it seemed like it was all over.

0:10:44 > 0:10:48- Myers in the right place - at the right time to pounce.

0:10:51 > 0:10:55- In such a competitive game, - it was never going to be easy.

0:10:55 > 0:10:58- Before you ask, - you can hold the puck...

0:10:58 > 0:11:02- ..as long as you drop it - or place it right away.

0:11:02 > 0:11:06- David Rutherford with the final goal - but it was only a consolation.

0:11:06 > 0:11:11- The next challenge for the Devils - is trying to win the Play-off cup.

0:11:14 > 0:11:14- .

0:12:38 > 0:12:42- We're well into the game - and the ball has been lost there.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44- Pontypridd have it - through Dafi Davies.

0:12:45 > 0:12:49- Davies is tackled but - Shellard is there in support.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52- Shellard carries the ball - powerfully.

0:12:52 > 0:12:55- Ponty will spread it.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58- Hemi Barnes has it now.

0:12:58 > 0:13:01- Barnes is stopped in his tracks - but Sweeney is there to spread it.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05- Joe Popple breaks the tackle.

0:13:05 > 0:13:10- Ceri Sweeney, with all his - experience, gives Ponty the lead.

0:13:15 > 0:13:21- Cross Keys are inches short here - as the Pontypridd forwards dig in.

0:13:23 > 0:13:28- The ball comes out to Prosser - who launches the cross-field kick.

0:13:28 > 0:13:32- Matthew Powell is there - to score for Cross Keys.

0:13:58 > 0:14:02- Evans to Sweeney who slips through - the defence with Lockyer in support.

0:14:07 > 0:14:12- Out to Cameron Lewis who dummies and - finds the gap to score for Ponty.

0:14:16 > 0:14:18- SECOND HALF

0:14:18 > 0:14:21- The two teams are - only separated by six points.

0:14:21 > 0:14:25- Ceri Sweeney out to Gary Williams.

0:14:27 > 0:14:31- Williams' long boot downfield - is collected by Josh Prosser.

0:14:33 > 0:14:37- Prosser's skyscraper is difficult - for Joe Davies in the sunlight.

0:14:37 > 0:14:38- He's done well there.

0:14:38 > 0:14:44- This an excellent run by the winger.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47- Davies back inside to Dafi Davies.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49- Dafi Davies goes under the posts...

0:14:49 > 0:14:53- ..for an explosive start - to the second half by Ponty.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56- Leonard to Darren Hughes.

0:14:56 > 0:15:02- Corey Hewlett has been tackled. - The ball has been knocked-on.

0:15:02 > 0:15:06- Ponty can turn defence - into attack here.

0:15:07 > 0:15:11- Evans and Sweeney want to - spread the play as soon as possible.

0:15:13 > 0:15:18- Joe Davies on the right - uses the little chip over the top.

0:15:18 > 0:15:22- Leon Andrews makes - a mess of clearing that one.

0:15:22 > 0:15:27- Davies created the last one and now - he's created and scored the next.

0:15:29 > 0:15:33- Sweeney. - The ball went forward from Sam May.

0:15:33 > 0:15:38- Ponty are down to 14 men - with Gary Williams in the sinbin.

0:15:39 > 0:15:41- Can Cross Keys take advantage?

0:15:42 > 0:15:47- Excellent play - by Barney Nightingale.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50- Right through the middle - and he may go all the way.

0:15:50 > 0:15:55- He's tackled but Rhys Fitzgerald - is there to score the try.

0:16:01 > 0:16:05- Cross Keys have a glimmer of hope.

0:16:05 > 0:16:11- Scott Matthews, the captain, - goes on a very powerful run.

0:16:11 > 0:16:15- Excellent by Matthews - as Leonard grabs the ball.

0:16:16 > 0:16:21- Cross Keys have the wind in their - sails. Nightingale out to Powell.

0:16:21 > 0:16:25- Powell will score his second try.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27- Two tries in two minutes - for Cross Keys.

0:16:31 > 0:16:34- Cross Keys are - certainly back in this game.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39- The Ponty defence - looks pretty shaky.

0:16:41 > 0:16:44- Owain Leonard to Scott Matthews.

0:16:44 > 0:16:48- Matthews is leading by example - out on the field.

0:16:50 > 0:16:54- Leonard has it for Cross Keys.

0:16:54 > 0:16:59- Prosser spots the gap and throws - the perfect pass to Joe Goodchild.

0:16:59 > 0:17:04- Goodchild cuts inside - as he is tackled.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08- He's been shoved over the try line.

0:17:08 > 0:17:11- Three tries in four minutes - for Cross Keys. Amazing.

0:17:15 > 0:17:18- There's a minute left here - and Ponty are in control.

0:17:19 > 0:17:22- It's advantage to the yellow shirts.

0:17:24 > 0:17:25- It's a penalty.

0:17:25 > 0:17:28- Cross Keys were penalised - for arguing with the ref.

0:17:32 > 0:17:36- Ceri Sweeney, at 37 years of age, - will take the kick.

0:17:36 > 0:17:38- It sails through the posts.

0:17:38 > 0:17:42- Ceri Sweeney, the former Welsh - international, has 22 points today.

0:17:44 > 0:17:50- We have to praise Cross Keys for - their revival but it's nearly over.

0:17:51 > 0:17:55- The referee has looked at his watch - and Ponty are being patient.

0:17:55 > 0:17:59- Dane Blacker is in control - at the back of the breakdown.

0:18:00 > 0:18:03- The ball is kicked dead.

0:18:03 > 0:18:08- Pontypridd are through to - the final of the WRU National Cup.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13- Cross Keys came - right back into that game.

0:18:13 > 0:18:18- Given another five minutes - they might have won.

0:18:18 > 0:18:24- Our boys did enough today - and we look forward to the final.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27- We'll have to focus - on the league now.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29- We just wanted - to make the final today.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33- We've proved a lot of people wrong - this season.

0:18:34 > 0:18:38- Another semi-final defeat for us - against our nemesis, Pontypridd.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40- They blew us away for sixty minutes.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43- They thoroughly deserved their lead.

0:18:43 > 0:18:48- Our boys showed massive heart - to scare them in the final twenty.

0:18:48 > 0:18:49- We made a game of it.

0:18:51 > 0:18:55- Defeat for Cross Keys there. - Ponty vs RGC 1404 in the final.

0:18:55 > 0:19:00- Plenty of cup excitement and next - weekend the football takes over.

0:19:00 > 0:19:03- Sgorio will feature one - of the Welsh Cup semi-finals.

0:19:03 > 0:19:07- Live on Saturday, Caernarfon against - Bala Town in that semi-final.

0:19:07 > 0:19:12- We're looking forward to that.

0:19:12 > 0:19:15- It'll be played - at the Belle Vue in Rhyl.

0:19:15 > 0:19:19- Malcolm Allen will be there. It - promises to be a serene afternoon.

0:19:20 > 0:19:22- There'll be a huge atmosphere.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24- The place will be - bouncing with fans.

0:19:25 > 0:19:28- Caernarfon - is closing down for the day.

0:19:29 > 0:19:32- Neither side - has ever been to a final.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35- History will be made.

0:19:35 > 0:19:40- I think Caernarfon would have wanted - Bala from the three in the draw.

0:19:43 > 0:19:46- Bala like to get the ball down - and try to play.

0:19:46 > 0:19:50- That will suit - Caernarfon's style of play.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53- They have beaten - Rhyl and Carmarthen already.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57- I don't know if they can turn up - and play the game of their lives.

0:19:58 > 0:19:59- Bala are strong favourites.

0:20:00 > 0:20:06- I expect Caernarfon to have - a real impact on these semi-finals.

0:20:06 > 0:20:10- They need Jamie Breese - and Darren Thomas on top form.

0:20:10 > 0:20:14- They lifted their game to beat Rhyl - to get to this game at Rhyl.

0:20:14 > 0:20:19- They know how to do it. It'll be - a feast if it's like this match.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22- It's being played on grass, - that's a factor.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25- Bala are battling - well for second in the league...

0:20:26 > 0:20:28- ..on these new synthetic surfaces.

0:20:31 > 0:20:37- Playing on grass will be different. - Carl Owen's legs were gone here.

0:20:37 > 0:20:42- He found one last surge of energy - to score that historic goal.

0:20:42 > 0:20:46- Iwan Williams and his team - look delighted there...

0:20:46 > 0:20:48- ..but he won't be - pitch-side on Saturday.

0:20:49 > 0:20:50- No, he's been banned.

0:20:50 > 0:20:53- The other semi-final is - between gap Connah's Quay and TNS.

0:20:54 > 0:20:57- We'll cover it all - on S4C next weekend.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00- Off to Holyhead next for Clwb Ni.

0:21:00 > 0:21:04- We're not catching the Irish ferry - like the Welsh fans this week...

0:21:05 > 0:21:09- ..but rather meeting up with the - Holyhead Celts Basketball team.

0:21:15 > 0:21:18- The new club's been here - for three years.

0:21:18 > 0:21:20- We reformed the club - that was here in the past.

0:21:22 > 0:21:26- We have 40 children here, - from the age of six up to eighteen.

0:21:28 > 0:21:32- Our Under 12 team plays - in the regional league...

0:21:32 > 0:21:36- ..against teams from Mold, - the Wirral and Flint.

0:21:36 > 0:21:40- We're doing really well. We only - started competing this season.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44- Basketball's been a part - of Holyhead for a long time.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47- It's been going since the 1990s.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49- Tony Roberts started the club.

0:21:50 > 0:21:55- He's had hundreds, if not thousands, - of kids come through this club.

0:21:55 > 0:21:57- It's a very exciting game.

0:21:57 > 0:22:01- It's action packed, there's lots - of scoring, lots of baskets.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05- Everyone comes up and attacks. - Everyone goes back in defence.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08- It's for everyone, - it's for boys and girls.

0:22:09 > 0:22:13- They play separately or together. - It's an inclusive sport.

0:22:13 > 0:22:16- With the social media - and the Internet now...

0:22:17 > 0:22:20- ..they see players like - LeBron James and Stephen Curry...

0:22:20 > 0:22:24- ..playing with an excitement - and they want to do the same.

0:22:24 > 0:22:27- I've played for the Celts - for the past year.

0:22:28 > 0:22:34- We've learnt so much, lots of - skills, how to shoot, everything.

0:22:36 > 0:22:40- We also play in the league - and we're unbeaten.

0:22:40 > 0:22:41- We've done really well.

0:22:42 > 0:22:47- I've played basketball - for the Celts for two years.

0:22:49 > 0:22:53- I like basketball because there are - lots of different skills.

0:22:57 > 0:22:58- It's a very social sport.

0:23:00 > 0:23:03- There's more time to do things - than in soccer or rugby.

0:23:04 > 0:23:09- I was one of these kids when - I was their age, playing basketball.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12- I was lucky to go - through to university and...

0:23:12 > 0:23:16- ..to play for the Chester Jets, - a professional basketball team.

0:23:17 > 0:23:21- From there, I've been able - to play and coach at a high level.

0:23:22 > 0:23:25- Basketball is increasing every year.

0:23:25 > 0:23:27- In 2015, for 11-15 years olds...

0:23:28 > 0:23:32- ..basketball was the second - most popular sport in the UK.

0:23:34 > 0:23:38- The club has been concentrating - on getting ready to compete.

0:23:39 > 0:23:41- We've done a good job of it - this season.

0:23:42 > 0:23:45- The next challenge is to get - more groups within the club.

0:23:45 > 0:23:49- Under 14, Under 16, - Under 10 and so on.

0:23:49 > 0:23:51- We want to grow from there.

0:23:51 > 0:23:54- It's been three years - but it doesn't feel like that.

0:23:55 > 0:23:57- It's been a honour for me - to be involved.

0:23:58 > 0:24:01- One, two, three.

0:24:06 > 0:24:07- Great to meet the Celts.

0:24:08 > 0:24:11- We're going for a stroll - after the break.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13- You'd better be ready though...

0:24:13 > 0:24:16- ..because Bethan Davies - won't be hanging around.

0:24:16 > 0:24:20- She's the current Welsh - and British race walking champion.

0:24:20 > 0:24:21- .

0:24:31 > 0:24:31- Subtitles

0:24:31 > 0:24:33- Subtitles- - Subtitles

0:24:36 > 0:24:40- As the weather improves, a pleasant - walk becomes much more appealing.

0:24:40 > 0:24:43- That isn't the case - for next item however.

0:24:43 > 0:24:46- Trying to keep up with Bethan Davies - is far from pleasant.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50- She is the current Welsh and - British race walking champion.

0:24:51 > 0:24:52- Geraint Hardy went to meet her.

0:24:56 > 0:25:00- Bute Park is always a nice place - to come for a walk with the family.

0:25:00 > 0:25:02- Today I'm here to learn - how to really walk.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06- I'll be taught by the best.

0:25:06 > 0:25:11- Bethan Davies from Cardiff is a - Welsh and British walking champion.

0:25:11 > 0:25:15- She has been the sport's leading - exponent in Wales for decades.

0:25:17 > 0:25:20- Before we start training, - explain the rules to me.

0:25:20 > 0:25:22- There are two rules.

0:25:22 > 0:25:26- You have to have one foot - on the floor at all times.

0:25:26 > 0:25:29- If you don't do that you get shown - one of these cards.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31- This is a lifting card.

0:25:31 > 0:25:33- You must also keep a straight leg.

0:25:33 > 0:25:35- You land with a straight leg...

0:25:35 > 0:25:39- ..and it stays that way - until it goes underneath the body.

0:25:39 > 0:25:42- There are judges around the track.

0:25:42 > 0:25:44- You get a warning card first.

0:25:44 > 0:25:46- If you break the rule - you get a red card.

0:25:46 > 0:25:49- Three red cards - means disqualification.

0:25:50 > 0:25:51- What's first?

0:25:51 > 0:25:54- Let's start with - an everyday walking style.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56- Not a catwalk, a normal street walk?

0:25:56 > 0:25:58- Not a catwalk, a normal street walk?- - How do you normally walk?

0:25:58 > 0:26:01- I think I walk like this.

0:26:03 > 0:26:06- Now you know - what a normal walk feels like.

0:26:06 > 0:26:10- Next, walk with - nice long arms and long legs.

0:26:10 > 0:26:11- Everything long.

0:26:15 > 0:26:17- Now we add in race walking arms.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19- Just the same as running arms.

0:26:19 > 0:26:22- I'm going to stand behind you - as you backward punch.

0:26:23 > 0:26:25- Move your arm back - and try to hit my hand.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31- That's how you should be - using your arms.

0:26:33 > 0:26:36- The rules say you have to - land with a straight leg.

0:26:37 > 0:26:41- A good way to practise is to stand - on one foot and gently go down.

0:26:41 > 0:26:42- One...

0:26:43 > 0:26:44- ..two...

0:26:44 > 0:26:46- ..three.

0:26:46 > 0:26:49- On the third one - we'll go into a walk.

0:26:50 > 0:26:54- For everything to work well - lower down you need good posture.

0:26:55 > 0:26:57- You need really good posture drill.

0:26:58 > 0:27:03- One I use all the time before races - and training is aeroplane drill.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05- You walk around the park like this.

0:27:06 > 0:27:09- Definitely. Nice good posture - and race walking.

0:27:11 > 0:27:13- Let's sort out your hips.

0:27:13 > 0:27:17- There's a common misconception - about race walking.

0:27:17 > 0:27:20- The hips do wiggle - but they don't sideways wiggle.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23- You're rotating - forwards and backwards.

0:27:25 > 0:27:27- This one is quite tricky.

0:27:27 > 0:27:31- You move your hips one way and - your upper body the opposite way.

0:27:33 > 0:27:35- You're going like this.

0:27:36 > 0:27:38- Now, you are making me look stupid.

0:27:40 > 0:27:42- I would like to race.

0:27:42 > 0:27:46- Let's race. - On your marks, get set, go.

0:27:52 > 0:27:56- Look at her go. - I'm running and I can't catch up.

0:27:58 > 0:28:02- Most kids dream about being - a Usain Bolt or a Jessica Ennis.

0:28:02 > 0:28:06- How did you end up race walking - from all the events?

0:28:06 > 0:28:08- It happened by chance.

0:28:08 > 0:28:12- I was in university and - I had been a cross-country runner.

0:28:13 > 0:28:15- I'd done a few athletic events.

0:28:15 > 0:28:17- I did race walking - a few times at school.

0:28:18 > 0:28:23- At university, they needed someone - to do the race walking event.

0:28:23 > 0:28:25- I said I'd give it a go.

0:28:25 > 0:28:30- Leeds Met happened to have the - national centre for race walking.

0:28:30 > 0:28:34- After the race the centre's coach - asked me if I fancied having a go.

0:28:34 > 0:28:35- I said yes.

0:28:36 > 0:28:38- You did quite well in that race?

0:28:38 > 0:28:39- You did quite well in that race?- - I did OK.

0:28:40 > 0:28:43- The commonwealth champion - was in the race and she lapped me...

0:28:43 > 0:28:45- ..and it was only a mile.

0:28:45 > 0:28:47- I can't have been going that fast.

0:28:49 > 0:28:53- You race roughly over - the distance of a half-marathon.

0:28:53 > 0:28:56- My fastest time running - that distance is 1 hr 45 minutes.

0:28:57 > 0:29:00- I'm very proud of that. How quickly - would you walk that distance?

0:29:00 > 0:29:03- I can do 20K in 1hr 33.

0:29:05 > 0:29:09- A half marathon is another kilometre - so add on five minutes.

0:29:09 > 0:29:12- You'd beat me walking.

0:29:12 > 0:29:14- That's good to know.

0:29:14 > 0:29:17- It's not the most popular sport - or event.

0:29:17 > 0:29:19- How does it work with funding?

0:29:19 > 0:29:24- Is balancing a real life with - your professional career a battle?

0:29:24 > 0:29:27- I'm currently funded - by Welsh Athletics.

0:29:28 > 0:29:30- That's my only funding source.

0:29:30 > 0:29:35- They give me a small amount of money - for travelling to races and kit.

0:29:35 > 0:29:42- That support is fantastic. - but it doesn't fund me to live.

0:29:42 > 0:29:44- I do need to get jobs...

0:29:44 > 0:29:49- ..and it's quite difficult - balancing them with my athletics.

0:29:49 > 0:29:53- I have a neuroscience degree - but since graduating I've been...

0:29:54 > 0:29:57- ..in and out of work - doing more admin style jobs.

0:29:57 > 0:30:02- Getting a part-time job - in that field is very difficult.

0:30:02 > 0:30:04- Things are going well. - Welsh and British champion.

0:30:04 > 0:30:08- You have success behind you - and Tokyo 2020 must be the target.

0:30:08 > 0:30:10- What's before that?

0:30:10 > 0:30:12- The World Champs - is in the UK this year.

0:30:13 > 0:30:15- That's what I'm aiming for.

0:30:15 > 0:30:17- I've already got - two qualifying times.

0:30:17 > 0:30:19- I have to come top two in the trial.

0:30:19 > 0:30:21- The trial is in June.

0:30:21 > 0:30:25- As long as everything keeps going in - the right direction I'll make that.

0:30:26 > 0:30:28- The other big aim - is the Commonwealth Games.

0:30:29 > 0:30:33- I'm ranked around No.6 - but I'm aiming for a medal.

0:30:33 > 0:30:38- It will be tough because the Aussies - are very strong in the event.

0:30:38 > 0:30:40- On the day, anything can happen.

0:30:41 > 0:30:44- Especially with the technical side - of race walking.

0:30:44 > 0:30:47- I have to push forward - and go for it.

0:30:47 > 0:30:51- We're crossing our fingers for you. - Thanks for all your tips.

0:30:51 > 0:30:55- They should get me to the front - of all those shopping queues.

0:30:55 > 0:30:57- Thank you, Bethan.

0:31:01 > 0:31:05- Good luck to Bethan. - I loved the moves, Geraint!

0:31:05 > 0:31:08- The end of the programme - is within sight tonight...

0:31:09 > 0:31:11- ..as is the end of Wrexham's season.

0:31:11 > 0:31:15- Once again, they have to look - to next season for any real success.

0:31:16 > 0:31:20- Despite that, 3,000 fans were at - the Racecourse for Torquay's visit.

0:31:30 > 0:31:33- Mark Carrington has - plenty of space ahead of him.

0:31:34 > 0:31:36- Leo Smith asks for it.

0:31:36 > 0:31:39- George Harry with the run and shot.

0:31:40 > 0:31:43- The 18-year-old is starting - his first game for the Dragons.

0:31:45 > 0:31:47- Damon Lathorpe to Luke Young.

0:31:47 > 0:31:50- Young looks up and shoots.

0:31:50 > 0:31:55- It was an easy save for Chris Dunn - but that's Torquay's best effort.

0:31:57 > 0:32:01- Wrexham start the second half - as this 3,000 strong crowd...

0:32:01 > 0:32:03- ..pray for a better 45 minutes.

0:32:03 > 0:32:06- Carrington to McLeod.

0:32:06 > 0:32:09- The referee points at the spot.

0:32:09 > 0:32:15- Wrexham have a penalty - 20 seconds into the second period.

0:32:15 > 0:32:18- Did McLeod handle that ball?

0:32:18 > 0:32:22- George Harry, the 18-year-old.

0:32:22 > 0:32:27- He's given Wrexham the lead - in his first start for the club.

0:32:27 > 0:32:30- He looked so confident.

0:32:31 > 0:32:34- Young has three goals - from his last five games.

0:32:35 > 0:32:37- It was nearly four in six.

0:32:37 > 0:32:41- Dunn had to get two solid hands - on that effort.

0:32:44 > 0:32:48- Keating. Young's early pass - forces the Wrexham defence to turn.

0:32:48 > 0:32:52- The ball falls to Sparkes.

0:32:52 > 0:32:57- The effort from Sparkes - was anything but flashy.

0:33:00 > 0:33:03- Sparkes is being - chased down by Carrington.

0:33:04 > 0:33:06- Carrington blocked the shot.

0:33:08 > 0:33:10- Young has space - on the edge of the box.

0:33:10 > 0:33:14- Penn dived in - and gave away the penalty.

0:33:14 > 0:33:18- Penn is claiming - it happened outside the box.

0:33:18 > 0:33:20- I don't think so.

0:33:21 > 0:33:23- Jamie Reid versus Chris Dunn.

0:33:24 > 0:33:27- Dunn got a hand to the ball.

0:33:27 > 0:33:29- Torquay have equalized.

0:33:32 > 0:33:36- Iffy Allen hurdles the tackle - and releases Massanka.

0:33:36 > 0:33:40- McLeod is the only man in the box - and Massanka displays his skills.

0:33:40 > 0:33:44- The support arrives from Barry. - Allen, over the crossbar.

0:33:44 > 0:33:47- It was a great run by Massanka.

0:33:47 > 0:33:50- Wrexham couldn't - make the most of it.

0:33:51 > 0:33:54- Massanka beats McGinty in the air.

0:33:54 > 0:33:56- McLeod in completely free.

0:33:56 > 0:33:59- His shot went straight - to Brendan Moore.

0:34:00 > 0:34:02- It was poor. It wasn't good enough.

0:34:03 > 0:34:08- Jordan White did a job for me - after we lost players to concussion.

0:34:08 > 0:34:13- Player welfare has to come first.

0:34:13 > 0:34:17- Jordan was outstanding but - otherwise it was a poor performance.

0:34:18 > 0:34:21- Great to get a goal, - especially on debut.

0:34:21 > 0:34:25- It was a poor performance - from the boys.

0:34:25 > 0:34:29- Especially at home against - a struggling team. We should win.

0:34:30 > 0:34:33- Six games left and Wrexham are - 14 points short of the play-offs.

0:34:34 > 0:34:36- They are also 14 points - clear of the relegation zone.

0:34:37 > 0:34:40- There's always next season!

0:34:42 > 0:34:46- Next season, Wrexham may well be - in the same league as Newport.

0:34:46 > 0:34:49- They won't go up - but Newport might be coming down.

0:34:49 > 0:34:50- What are your thoughts?

0:34:50 > 0:34:54- What are your thoughts?- - I think Newport will be going down.

0:34:54 > 0:34:56- It's a difficult task - for Mike Flynn.

0:34:56 > 0:35:00- Dean Keates has done well - at Wrexham, he's steadied the ship.

0:35:00 > 0:35:02- Things weren't going well.

0:35:02 > 0:35:06- Will he suffer from a lack of funds - over the summer?

0:35:06 > 0:35:09- He needs to get his squad sorted - early doors.

0:35:09 > 0:35:13- He has connections within the game - to bring new players in.

0:35:13 > 0:35:15- He'll need a good pre-season - with them.

0:35:16 > 0:35:20- Cardiff are comfortable, Swansea - play Middlesbrough next week.

0:35:20 > 0:35:22- How do you see that one going?

0:35:23 > 0:35:25- How do you see - the end of the season going?

0:35:25 > 0:35:29- Every game is a challenge for them.

0:35:29 > 0:35:33- I don't like the word pressure - but they could still go down.

0:35:34 > 0:35:38- After their last two games, - they know they're in a real battle.

0:35:38 > 0:35:41- Middlesbrough are a worse side - than them.

0:35:41 > 0:35:43- Are there three - worse sides than them?

0:35:43 > 0:35:46- Yes, I see Sunderland, - Middlesbrough, I see Hull...

0:35:47 > 0:35:49- ..and I see Crystal Palace - as worse teams that Swansea.

0:35:50 > 0:35:54- You must win games. - They have Middlesbrough next week.

0:35:54 > 0:35:59- Then Tottenham, Watford and West Ham - away. They must beat Middlesbrough.

0:36:00 > 0:36:04- We're talking about the clubs - but let's go back to the country.

0:36:05 > 0:36:08- The next game is in Serbia - and if Wales lose that game...

0:36:09 > 0:36:13- ..we know Chris Coleman leaves - at the end of the campaign...

0:36:13 > 0:36:15- ..you think he might leave early.

0:36:15 > 0:36:18- I don't want him to go - but he said he was going.

0:36:18 > 0:36:21- Five games to go, 15pts to play for.

0:36:22 > 0:36:26- You want 20pts to win the group, - maybe 19pts for the play-offs.

0:36:27 > 0:36:30- Five games, 15pts, - we only have seven points.

0:36:30 > 0:36:35- If we lose in Serbia, I don't see - the point of Chris staying.

0:36:35 > 0:36:37- We need to build for the future.

0:36:38 > 0:36:40- We could bring some new, - younger players in.

0:36:40 > 0:36:44- Chris has been faithful to those - who brought him success.

0:36:44 > 0:36:46- Fair play to him for doing that.

0:36:46 > 0:36:50- Everything is cyclical and this - might be the end of the road...

0:36:50 > 0:36:52- ..for some of these players.

0:36:53 > 0:36:54- There are some in their 30s.

0:36:55 > 0:36:58- Then again, a win in Serbia - and it's party time in Belgrade.

0:36:58 > 0:37:03- Don't invite me back if we - win in Serbia. I won't be here.

0:37:03 > 0:37:06- It's just the way - things have gone recently.

0:37:06 > 0:37:10- Maybe a change is the right thing.

0:37:10 > 0:37:14- If we beat Serbia, - we have a chance of going to Russia.

0:37:14 > 0:37:17- It's all there for the taking.

0:37:17 > 0:37:19- With the performances up to now...

0:37:19 > 0:37:22- ..there's been no spark - in this campaign.

0:37:22 > 0:37:25- I agree. - We need to get the spark back.

0:37:25 > 0:37:28- Malcolm, thanks for bringing - the spark to Clwb2.

0:37:29 > 0:37:33- We're both back next weekend - on Sgorio on Saturday...

0:37:33 > 0:37:37- ..and on Sunday, we're in Blaenau - Ffestiniog with Antur Stiniog.

0:37:37 > 0:37:42- Also Sgorio tomorrow night on S4C. - We'll see you next week. Ta-ra.

0:38:08 > 0:38:10- S4C Subtitles by Adnod Cyf.

0:38:10 > 0:38:11- .
