-Good afternoon

-and welcome to Clwb 2.

-It's the weekend where...

-..Swansea City flew off

-the bottom of the Premiership.

-The Swans kept their heads in trying

-circumstances against Sunderland.

-Cardiff City

-lost their heads in Ipswich.

-Sol Bamba was more like La Bamba.

-There won't be any

-manic arguments on this show.

-Here's what we have for you.

-A derby game for the Dragons.

-Wrexham vs Tranmere

-in the FA Trophy.

-And a rugby derby too...

-..as Carmarthen Quins travel to

-Llandovery in the Foster's Cup.

-We'll feature gold medal

-winning athlete Rob Davies...

-..who has rebuilt his life

-following a rugby injury.

-Welsh Sports Personality

-of the Year, Jade Jones...

-..visits her first club in Clwb Ni.

-I'm joined by someone

-who reported from the ceremony...

-..for Welsh Sports

-Personality of the Year...

-..and almost every

-major sporting event this year.

-If it's on,

-Catrin Heledd will be there.

-Welcome to the show.

-I do feel a bit like

-a stalker sometimes.

-I do follow people around.

-You've had a very busy year?

-It was one of those years

-when Wales had so much success.

-It was an honour to be able

-to follow them as they did it.

-No-one expected us to go so far in

-Euro 2016 and stay there so long.

-A quick rest and then

-straight out to Rio.

-It was an amazing experience

-with more Welsh success.

-It's great for a journalist to bring

-back good news once in a while.

-We'll talk about all kinds of things

-this afternoon.

-First today, sailing, and Catrin

-Heledd isn't the only globetrotter.

-Welshman Alex Thomson has been

-leading the Vendee Globe race...

-..but now he faces

-some stiff competition.

-And things are hotting up

-behind the leaders too.

-Emyr Davies has the details.

-Armel Le Cleac'h and Alex Thomson

-have long passed through...

-..but most of the teams

-are now in the roaring forties...

-..the strong winds

-of the Southern Hemisphere.

-Some were enjoying

-quite unusual food...

-..with Romain Attansio

-having found some pancake mix...

-..and Kojiro Shiraishi from Japan

-having caught a squid.

-The two leaders still neck and neck,

-leading in turns.

-There is Armel Le Cleac'h

-on Banque Populaire.

-He's slowly catching up

-with me overnight.

-He's obviously come

-with a bit better breeze...

-..but I'll be back on starboard

-in less than a day...

-..so we look forward to that.

-In the meantime I'm going

-to push as hard as I can...

-..and try and stay in touch

-with this guy.

-Far behind the leaders,

-Conrad Colman from New Zealand.

-If you thought you were having

-a bad day, look at mine.

-His boat capsized after a fire

-destroyed the steering equipment.

-He managed to overcome the problem,

-righted the yacht and carry on.

-There were also problems

-for Thomas Ruyant.

-Unfortunately, four of the main

-sail's masts have broken.

-And I have prepared everything ready

-to complete the work.

-There was nothing for it but to

-glue all the pieces back together...

-..and re-raise the sail.

-But Kito De Pavant was less

-fortunate after his yacht...

-..collided with something hard

-in the sea, breaking the keel.

-With the yacht about to sink,

-he had to call for rescue.

-In less than 24 hours,

-he was lifted from his yacht...

-..and taken on board

-the Marion Dufresne.

-Misfortune for one Frenchman,

-fortune for another.

-Armel Le Cleac'h is the first

-to sail past Cape Leeuwin.

-It was a great feeling to pass the

-second cape in the lead.

-It's not important but it's

-always good...

-..to be the first past

-one of the three legendary capes.

-The Vendee Globe race is a true test

-of character and perseverance.

-After four weeks of non-stop

-sailing...

-..they're not even halfway..

-..and there is nothing to separate

-Armel Le Cleac'h and Alex Thomson.

-Sports Correspondent,

-Catrin Heledd, is here with me.

-She's been all around the world

-following sport...

-..not in a boat though.

-Describe the life

-of a sports correspondent.

-It must be interesting, but you

-can't spend much time at home.

-No, you tend to live

-out of a suitcase.

-If you're as disorganised as me...

-..your clothes stay in the case

-from one trip to the next.

-Sometimes you don't get much notice.

-It might sound exciting, being on

-a plane all the time, but it isn't.

-There's a lot of waiting around,

-and attempting to be organised.

-But when you arrive at a sporting

-event, the excitement begins.

-You look forward to going

-to a sports event...

-..you wouldn't go to otherwise.

-We're going to see

-a few of those events now.

-From the Euros to Rio,

-it's been quite a year for Catrin.

-Great pictures, especially

-that last one with Gareth Bale.

-We'll discuss the Euros more later,

-but that was a special picture.

-That is THE picture.

-When I went to the Euros

-I just had to meet Gareth Bale.

-I didn't want to seem too keen...

-..but after the interview

-I asked for a quick selfie.

-That was the picture I wanted.

-It was surreal, meeting someone

-you've watched for years...

-..who's a world star and a hero

-to me and everybody in Wales.

-I look very happy.

-These selfies happen quite often.

-It started in Wimbledon

-about 2 or 3 years ago.

-I was there on my own.

-I said the producer

-needed a photo for the website.

-But really, I wanted it

-for my personal collection.

-I began Tweeting them

-and it became a bit of fun.

-It's an excuse

-to get these pictures.

-Now I go through my phone...

-..remember who I've met

-and the memories come flooding back.

-It's nice to do that sometimes.

-It's the modern day autograph book.

-We'll take a selfie

-during the break.

-When we come back, we'll be

-looking at Catrin's sport - rugby.

-Welcome back.

-Rugby for you now and there was a

-midweek derby in the Foster's Cup...

-..as Carmarthen Quins travelled

-down the A40 to play Llandovery.

-Owain Gwynedd was there for us.

-The Foster's is a chance for boys

-on the peripheries of our squad.

-It's a chance for them

-to show what they can do.

-Most of the backs

-are around 18 or 19 years old.

-It's a good platform for them...

-..to play their first games

-for Llandovery or the Quins.

-We always get a really tough game

-against the Quins.

-This is the game that will decide

-who goes through to the next round.

-Plenty on the game and I'm looking

-forward to it.

-Llandovery keep pressing.

-Alex Davies out to Shaun Miles.

-Davies to James Davies

-with the little kick.

-Craig Woodall is there first.

-Out to Steffan Rees.

-Rees has support on both sides.

-Craig Woodall has it

-but he's not going to get there.

-Quins are trying

-to reset the defence.

-Emyr Price will drive for the line.

-James Davies almost dropped it

-but it's a cross-field kick.

-Is there anyone there?

-Shaun Pearce is the first

-to the ball and he scores.

-That's a great score.

-James Davies almost dropped it.

-The kick was collected by Pearce.

-He only had the tight-head prop,

-Steffan Llyr Thomas to beat.

-Carmarthen are pressing

-with their forwards.

-George is waiting for it.

-The forwards are happy to hold on.

-George wants the forwards

-to go right again.

-Will he eventually

-unleash the backs?

-He looks left.

-That's another

-good drive by the forwards.

-Evans out to Banfield.

-Is there space for Banfield.

-He's an elusive runner.

-He's found his way to the line.

-That's Chris Banfield's 34th

-career try for Carmarthen Quins.

-There isn't much of this half left

-with Llandovery leading 10-5.

-Morgan Griffiths

-gets involved for the visitors.

-The forwards are to the right.

-They grind onwards

-and set up another ruck.

-George is at the base

-waiting for it.

-The forwards are doing

-all the hard work.

-The dummy run and

-Evans spreads it to Banfield.

-Has the fullback crept in again?

-Simon Mills has given the try.

-The dummy run

-opened up the space there.

-Elliott Davies with the trick...

-..and Banfield

-snaked his way under the tackle.

-SECOND HALF

-Evans out to the wing.

-Elliott Davies makes the break.

-He doesn't have support

-to pass back inside.

-Shaun Miles is Llandovery's saviour.

-They are trying to counter-attack

-but it's pretty messy.

-Play continues

-and Llandovery can clear.

-Back to Davies who pumps it

-as far downfield as possible.

-That's the best chance

-of the half wasted.

-The disappointment is clear

-on Elliott Davies' face.

-The line-out is untidy but the

-replacement scrum half claims it.

-The cross-field kick

-by James Davies again.

-Jack Parkinson collects

-and finds support on the inside.

-Steffan Rees has

-Jake Jenkins in support.

-The ball finds the second row but

-the referee has blown the whistle.

-Crossing is the call.

-I think that's right.

-Quins have controlled

-this aspect throughout the game.

-The referee has given the penalty.

-This is a chance to go for goal.

-The backs come in

-to congratulate their forwards.

-The coaches will be happy too.

-Craig Evans to seal the victory.

-It's an accurate effort and that's

-700 points for him for the Quins.

-The visitors will win this one.

-We started well with a good mix.

-We used the kick well to turn them.

-It went well and I thought

-we might win it at the end.

-They had a bit more strength

-and experience in their squad.

-The Quins deserved to win it.

-We had to be physical to challenge

-the Llandovery defence.

-They are well-coached

-and have a clear game-plan.

-I was delighted that our two

-fledgling centres created chances.

-It was great to get

-the tries and a victory.

-Halfway through the pool and the

-Quins in the box seat to qualify.

-More Foster's Challenge Cup action.

-This competition is set up to give

-young players the opportunity...

-..to develop and

-gain first team experience.

-Here's Lowri Wyn.

-On a filthy night at Pandy Park,

-Cross Keys had the early upper hand.

-They scored the opening try in this

-Pool 1 match of the Fosters Cup...

-..thanks to Matthew Powell.

-Newport fought back with a dummy

-and a try from Aaron Bidgood.

-Before the two teams could enjoy

-their half-time orange segments...

-..Cross Keys

-had scored two more tries.

-The first by Danny Hodge and

-then this by Nathan Trowbridge.

-Early in the second half,

-flanker, Max George...

-..went over for his

-first ever try for Cross Keys.

-Newport replied with a

-Haydn Palmer interception try...

-..thanks to some

-slack passing by the home team.

-He sprinted away

-to score under the posts.

-Cross Keys had the final word.

-Trowbridge with a

-clever kick and chase...

-..to set up Darren Hughes

-for the final try.

-Newport are top of the group

-but they have played more games.

-Merthyr's brilliant season continues

-as they walloped Ebbw Vale in Pl 3.

-Hooker, Matthew Dwyer, made full use

-of his pack's power to score first.

-Dan Parry displayed footballing and

-acrobatic skills to score a second.

-A slick move by the backs

-set up a third Merthyr try.

-Richard Carter

-grounding under the posts.

-The Merthyr maulers continued

-to dominate in the second half.

-Number 8, Tom Daley,

-benefitting here.

-The win was crowned off by a

-length-of-the-field extravaganza.

-Matthew Trowbridge

-scoring at the end of it.

-Merthyr are now strong favourites

-to finish on top of Pool 3.

-Josh Guy out to Aaron Grabham.

-He breaks through and

-Grabham may go all the way.

-It's a try for Neath

-after less than three minutes.

-The pass is for Chris Morgans.

-Morgans is tackled

-but that's a great offload.

-Aaron Grabham scores his

-15th try of the season.

-Codey Rees. Lloyd Chalke

-breaks through the tackle.

-The forwards won't catch him now.

-It's a try for Cardiff

-with Paul King on the end of it.

-Great play by the visitors.

-That's far too long and

-a try on a plate for Geraint James.

-It's a powerful scrum by Neath.

-Tom Lucas carries it away.

-Montague's kick

-goes straight to Ed Howley.

-Howley slices through the defence

-like a hot knife through butter.

-It's as easy as that.

-Chris Morgans

-has changed position again.

-It's a powerful scrum.

-Morgans spins and grounds it.

-Ben Thomas.

-Paul King

-has timed his run to perfection.

-The centre

-will score his second try.

-There are men on the left.

-Leon Ward to Aled Morris.

-The substitute rounds off

-a great night for Neath.

-Bridgend's run in the cup

-has come to an end.

-Aberavon were too strong

-for the Ravens.

-Jonathan Phillips made a

-determined run to open the scoring.

-Sam Williams, the captain...

-..showed some silky skills to set up

-a second try for David Pritchard.

-Aberavon managed

-to claim a penalty try...

-..before the hooker, Ieuan Davies...

-..added a fourth try

-thanks to the power of the pack.

-There was a consolation try

-for Bridgend...

-..but the Wizards responded with

-prop John Bamsey scoring the fifth.

-With six games still to play...

-..Aberavon climb above Bridgend

-in the most competitive pool of all.

-Catrin Heledd is still with me.

-The autumn internationals have

-been part of your work this year.

-Does that mean you don't get

-a chance to relax and enjoy them?

-I can't remember the last time

-I enjoyed a game with my mates.

-I had one of the best seats on the

-field during the Euro 2016 games.

-I was right next to Chris Coleman.

-When goals went in

-I couldn't celebrate with anyone.

-I was doing little

-solo jives on my own.

-You have to be thinking about the

-questions you'll ask afterwards.

-Wales didn't celebrate much

-during the autumn internationals...

-..despite winning three out of four.

-Why is everyone so disappointed?

-The performances weren't really

-that inspirational.

-There weren't that many players...

-..putting their hands up

-for Lions' places.

-The football

-has been going so well...

-..and the rugby has done well

-in the World Finals recently.

-We beat England, of course.

-I think we expect more

-and expect to compete.

-England have improved massively

-in the last twelve months.

-Ireland and Scotland

-appear to be getting better too.

-Wales haven't improved so we're

-worried about the Six Nations.

-It's going to be

-a fantastic championship.

-Wales may struggle a bit.

-It all ends

-with England out in Ireland.

-There might be more Welsh coaches

-than players on that tour.

-Have any players caught your eye?

-Liam Williams is the star.

-When he gets the ball

-there's a flash of hope.

-Until recently, I feared that Liam

-Williams would make a mistake.

-Recently,

-that hasn't been a concern.

-Alun Wyn Jones

-is the standard-bearer.

-Those two are in

-any Lions' team right now.

-Jamie Roberts.

-We all know what he can do.

-Luckily for him, Warren Gatland

-also knows what he can do.

-Sam Warburton is battling

-for his place in the Wales team.

-There are a lot of injuries too.

-You get to know

-the players quite well.

-Too well sometimes!

-Look at this.

-Working on Clwb Rygbi here.

-Did you know what was going on?

-Four times before that

-I managed to stay upright.

-That's what happens when a cameraman

-tells Liam Williams to go for it.

-That's awesome.

-The Welsh squad seem to be

-a great gang of lads.

-We did a similar thing

-with Ross Moriarty.

-People said he was a no-nonsense

-forward and not to mess with him.

-He was actually a pussy cat.

-He was refusing to tackle me at all.

-It was lovely to meet them and

-speak to them when they're relaxed.

-A lot of sportsmen really

-dislike those sit-down interviews.

-They think you're there

-to catch them out.

-You have to find ways

-of making them relaxed.

-Liam Williams hates them.

-When he's relaxed he's happy to talk

-and give you something interesting.

-Catrin gets the best out of them.

-It's Ice Hockey next.

-The Cardiff Devils team has just

-celebrated its 30th anniversary.

-Did they celebrate a bit too much?

-Eight wins in a row

-was the record...

-..as they took on

-Nottingham Panthers last night.

-The Devils were behind

-after less than a minute.

-Brian McGrattan scored

-after just 51 seconds.

-There was worse to come -

-a lot worse.

-It was 2-0 to Nottingham

-within the next minute.

-Stephen Schultz this time.

-With only five minutes on the clock,

-it was 3-0. Schultz struck again.

-Great work from Schultz, but the

-Devils were completely destroyed.

-When a rare opportunity arrived...

-..Nottingham's goalie,

-Miika Wiikman was solid.

-By now, the Devils had

-substituted their goalie.

-Thomas Murdy replaced Ben Bowns,

-but the goals continued.

-Andy Sertich made it 4-0.

-With Nottingham dominating,

-it was soon 5-0 thanks to Dan Spang.

-The heaving arena

-could hardly believe their eyes.

-Remember, this all happened

-in the first period.

-Things got worse

-when Matt Carter made it 6-0.

-The Devils' frustration

-was obvious by now.

-Six became seven.

-Brad Moran scored this one.

-As I have said,

-it was a very frustrating evening.

-This became more and more obvious

-as the game continued.

-Neither the supporters

-nor the Devils were happy.

-The Officials were also

-in the thick of it.

-It was unbelievable, considering the

-Devils won eight consecutive games.

-The Panthers have lost 9 out of 11

-games, but the final score was 8-0.

-It truly was a nightmare

-for The Cardiff Devils.

-There was defeat

-for Sheffield too...

-..allowing to Belfast

-to rise above them to second place.

-The Devils play Sheffield tonight.

-Welcome back.

-We all know that life

-can change in a heartbeat.

-That's what happened to Rob Davies.

-He was paralysed after playing rugby

-for Brecon over a decade ago.

-His life changed entirely after

-he was confined to a wheelchair.

-But he was determined it wouldn't

-stop him participating in sport.

-He started playing table tennis and

-he's now number one in the world.

-Three months ago he was crowned

-Paralympic Champion in Rio.

-Clwb has been to speak

-to this amazing man.

-Winning the gold medal in Rio

-was unbelievable.

-The gold medal's special to me...

-..because of all the ups and downs

-I've been through.

-I wasn't going to put all my hopes

-on getting gold...

-..but it turned out pretty good

-for me.

-I couldn't be happier.

-All the hard work paid off.

-Despite Rob's unbelievable success

-in Rio...

-..his every day life is challenging,

-to say the least.

-It's been a tough eleven years

-since I had my accident.

-I don't have any dexterity

-in my fingers.

-I use a trick movement

-to pick things up with my wrist.

-It makes things difficult,

-but I'm coping.

-I've got tools to help me

-with some things as well.

-My teeth are really important.

-I use my teeth to do everything -

-to undo things and to do things up.

-I am actually making

-my own tea here.

-Morning, Rob.

-Cup of tea?

-Yes please, mate. Milk, two sugars.

-You know where the kettle is.

-Like that, is it?

-Guy is one of the team of helpers

-who help Rob from day to day.

-Is he a nice guy to work with?

-He's not too bad. He's alright.

-We get along, don't we?

-Just.

-The moment I won gold was disbelief.

-That fourth game that I won.

-He served it short

-and it went into the net.

-He put his bat over his head

-and leant on the table.

-I just had to bring myself back

-and focus on my match and tactics.

-It was an ecstatic moment

-when I won.

-Having never beaten him before...

-..to beat him in that final

-was unbelievable.

-Every morning, before travelling to

-Cardiff to train, he must stretch.

-It's an important part

-of Rob's daily routine.

-I get tight after being in the chair

-all day.

-You do it before your games as well.

-Yeah.

-How many years

-have you been with me now?

-Nearly ten years now.

-Is it? Oh, my God.

-At first it was a challenge...

-..because I'd never done anything

-like this before.

-But the chance to go around the

-world, and seeing him win medals...

-..it didn't get much better

-than that.

-He's got to make the most of it now,

-the golden boy.

-The medal.

-It's pretty heavy, that's the first

-thing that strikes me.

-It's not so much what it is,

-it's what it stands for.

-All the battles I've been through.

-People are worried about it

-scratching and denting...

-..but it doesn't bother me.

-I know what I've done to get

-that medal and that's what counts.

-The most important thing for me is

-going into schools...

-..and seeing the kids' faces

-when you show them that gold medal.

-Hopefully it will encourage them

-to try and achieve their goals.

-This place is huge to me -

-Brecon Rugby Grounds.

-This is where I played

-my youth and senior rugby.

-I had an accident playing rugby

-and that's why I'm in a wheelchair.

-The accident happened in Ynysybwl.

-It was in the first two minutes

-of the game...

-..and was purely an accident.

-Some guys went into the scrum

-and some didn't.

-All the weight of Ynysybwl

-came onto my neck and paralysed me.

-It's a C6 spinal injury...

-..which has left me with

-limited hand and arm movement...

-..and I'm paralysed

-from my chest down.

-When the injury happened, all I felt

-was a shiver down by body.

-I remember the helicopter

-was called.

-It had been cancelled for my brother

-who was in a road accident...

-..on the way to watch me,

-and it was able to come to myself.

-The consultants told me

-I may not walk again...

-..and that I had a spinal injury.

-I stayed positive.

-I thought I was going to walk again

-and have been trying since.

-It wasn't to be.

-I find it hard watching the boys

-because I want to be on there.

-But on the positive side, I'm

-competing in a different sport now.

-The pros of having a gold medal?

-Coming back on the plane from Rio,

-we got Club Class.

-Putting your feet up...

-..and having a lot more room

-than when we were going out there.

-We were like sheep

-in the back of the plane.

-It was an amazing experience.

-I'm not sure if I'll see that again.

-It's been an amazing journey

-and that was one of the highlights.

-After arriving in Cardiff,

-Rob is looking forward...

-..to meeting his coach, Neil,

-for the first time since Rio.

-How are you?

-I'm fine, thank you.

-How have you been doing since Rio?

-Following his disappointment in

-2012, he announced he was finishing.

-I said there's a gold medal waiting

-for him in Rio.

-You're not going to make me jump

-all over the table, are you?

-No, I'll be kind.

-No, I'll be kind.

-

-I'm sure you will - not.

-Ready? 1, 2, 3.

-I started playing in hospital.

-My nan took me in there

-because I didn't want to.

-I called it a girly sport

-and wasn't interested.

-It took a bit of persuasion, but

-they strapped the bat on my hand...

-..with a bandage, I gave it a go,

-and I'm still playing now.

-Maybe if I take you side to side.

-In all the paraplegic classes

-we go from 1 to 10.

-Up to class 10, which is virtually

-able-bodied guys...

-..I'd say he's one of

-the most skilful players there is.

-For Rob to get gold in Rio...

-..beating an opponent

-he had never beaten before...

-..was an incredible achievement.

-In the celebration after the game...

-..you could see how much it meant to

-him.

-For me personally, I felt immensely

-proud to see him bring it home.

-That's very good.

-Thank you, Neil. Ta for coming in.

-There's a lot of things to come.

-I've got a wedding to look forward

-to in July.

-I can safely say I'm going to go

-for the Paralympics 2020 in Tokyo...

-..and hopefully bring another gold

-back.

-That was a small glimpse

-into Rob Davies' life.

-Catrin Heledd is with me.

-What an inspiration to us all.

-His story is incredible.

-I was in London in 2012

-for the Paralympic Games.

-He spoke about the disappointment

-of not winning a medal.

-London was a turning point

-for the Paralympic Games.

-Since then, Paralympic athletes,

-especially in Wales and the UK...

-..are being seen on the same level.

-People like Aled Sion Davies...

-..is on the shortlist for BBC Wales

-Sports Personality of the Year.

-No-one is discriminating.

-That's how it should be.

-Rio wasn't as good. Aled himself

-said it wasn't quite like London.

-It's a shame the

-rest of the world don't...

-..see Paralympic athletes

-the way we do in Britain.

-We don't see how difficult

-their daily lives are.

-Although he doesn't complain...

-..when we see them competing,

-every day is a challenge.

-I watch them compete

-and I'm astounded.

-You forget that making a cup of tea

-can be a challenge.

-He has to warm up

-in a different way.

-It's amazing to see how they live

-their lives from day to day.

-It's more than just winning medals,

-it's a personal battle.

-Rob's quite a character,

-there's no doubt about that.

-It's time for a break.

-When we come back

-we'll discuss football.

-Perhaps we'll talk about The Euros?

-I think something may have happened

-over the summer. Catrin was there.

-We'll be back after the break.

-Subtitles

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Football next and it's been a

-pretty mediocre year for Wrexham.

-They had a chance to forget

-their league woes yesterday.

-They were taking on Tranmere in

-the first round of the FA Trophy.

-A tough task against the league

-leaders and their neighbours.

-Harris with the dummy,

-Hughes crosses.

-The header is cleared by White,

-but only as far as Kirby.

-He crosses to Connor Jennings.

-Jalal collects the ball.

-Harris with the dummy again.

-Hughes with the cross.

-This time Sutton

-has given Tranmere the lead.

-Twenty-four minutes played.

-The cross by Jeff Hughes...

-..and Ritchie Sutton

-jumped higher than the rest.

-Kai Edwards,

-with support from Barry.

-Jordan Evans, Carrington,

-back to Evans.

-Carrington is under pressure,

-does well to find John Rooney.

-He shoots but misses the target.

-Barry, Rooney,

-Kai Edwards has space on the wing.

-Back to Rooney,

-who crosses towards Jordan White.

-That was a tremendous save

-by Scott Davies.

-It was a perfect cross from Rooney.

-Jordan White came so close to

-scoring his first goal for Wrexham.

-Tranmere clear.

-That was a loose pass

-from Rob Evans...

-..allowing Jay Harris

-to sprint into Wrexham's half.

-Harris shoots wide.

-He's a former Racecourse favourite.

-SECOND HALF

-Carrington. Smith.

-Support from Barry.

-Kai Edwards has plenty of space

-on the right wing.

-He receives the pass

-and look at the space he has.

-Edwards crosses towards Rob Evans.

-That was so close

-to levelling the scores.

-Tollitt. Ihiekwe.

-Tollitt to Norwood.

-Tollitt receives the pass back.

-The substitute does well and shoots

-but is denied by Jalal.

-Fantastic work by the substitute

-avoiding the defence.

-Rooney. Caught by Jay Harris.

-Tranmere can counter-attack.

-Cook to Hughes,

-on the edge of the penalty box.

-It rebounds off the defender.

-A lucky escape for Wrexham.

-That could have gone anywhere.

-A long throw.

-Tilt - that was loose again by Tilt.

-Tollitt releases to Ihiekwe,

-who has plenty of space.

-Harris and Tollitt

-are offering themselves.

-The pass to Harris,

-he does well to turn and shoot.

-Jalal saves the day once again.

-Rooney, to Edwards. The crowd

-encouraging Edwards to attack.

-Time is running out for Wrexham.

-Powell, back to Kai Edwards,

-look at the space he's in.

-He goes for the early cross.

-He wins a corner

-but he had so much space.

-Davies clears.

-Will this be the last chance

-for Wrexham?

-A second chance for Evans

-but a solid tackle from Harris.

-Now a chance for Tranmere

-to counter-attack.

-Tollitt is unmarked on the right.

-But Harris is going for it himself.

-But the shot is high.

-That all stemmed from a solid tackle

-by Jay Harris...

-..but he couldn't finish the move.

-First half, I thought we'd did well.

-First ten minutes of the second,

-we had a couple of half chances.

-I think big Jordan set up a free

-header.

-John put a good ball in the area.

-A yard either side, it's a goal.

-I think that changed the game.

-And a couple of chances

-in the second half.

-A bit better quality in the box

-and I think we would have scored.

-It didn't happen. Disappointing

-that we conceded from a set piece.

-A free header - something to look

-back on and see where it came from.

-I think we went out to give it our

-all and improve on Tuesday.

-When we were playing well,

-it was better.

-We played poorly at times but when

-we started to keep possession...

-..and pass the ball,

-we were a much better team.

-It was a game we wanted to win.

-It's not happened and

-we've got a week now to prepare.

-We're going into a massive period

-over Christmas.

-We have some massive games where

-we need to be picking points up.

-Nothing going right for Wrexham

-at the moment.

-Welsh clubs are not having a good

-time of it.

-Catrin Heledd is with me.

-What a summer for the Welsh team.

-Are you still pinching yourself?

-I've been working on a programme

-looking back on the tournament.

-So many memories came

-flooding back...

-..it's impossible

-to choose a highlight.

-The anthem in the first match,

-the victory in the first match...

-..Bordeaux itself.

-Robson Kanu turning against Belgium.

-Who'd have imagined beating them

-in such a fashion.

-We lost to England

-but maybe we wouldn't have had...

-..that performance against Russia

-if we'd won.

-Interviewing people

-like Gareth Bale, Ashley Williams.

-You stayed in Brittany

-where the Welsh team were based.

-We've heard a lot about the spirit.

-Was it as strong as everyone says?

-Definitely. I met Joe Allen

-at the beginning of the week.

-He said that it was just like being

-on a stag do.

-For those of us there,

-we were working...

-..but that's

-the closest thing I can imagine.

-A group of people who

-get on well and work together...

-..who are really Welsh fans

-and want them to do well.

-We were out there for five weeks...

-..but it was also lots of fun

-watching Wales do so well...

-..for the first time in 58 years.

-When we see those shirts

-saying 'Diolch'...

-..we remember what it meant to them

-as well.

-They still say that.

-And being able

-to interview Chris Coleman.

-I could listen to him talk

-for hours.

-He's so easy to listen to

-and so much fun.

-Then the bus.

-Yes, you were in the middle of

-the Cardiff celebrations.

-France was incredible but we didn't

-realise what was happening here.

-What did it feel like to be with the

-players in Cardiff?

-I thought they'd

-put us on the bus...

-..and say that a player would come

-and talk to us when they're ready.

-No, they told us to do

-whatever we wanted.

-I found myself sitting by Sam Vokes

-having a nice chat.

-I was nearly wanting to wave

-to people.

-One of my friends made a poster

-saying 'Welcome home Catrin Heledd'.

-I'd been away so long but I felt

-like I was gate-crashing a party.

-I was trying to keep out of the way

-because it was their moment.

-They could take stock of what had

-been happening in Wales.

-How it had captured

-the nation's imagination.

-I was finding it hard to appreciate

-how much excitement we'd had here.

-So you think it hit them?

-Footballers can be above things

-like this.

-In every interview...

-..I'd ask them if they knew

-what was happening at home.

-Villages changing their names -

-Bale of Glamorgan, Gwaelod-y-gareth.

-Social media kept them in touch.

-They were starting to see what it

-meant to people.

-I showed Hal Robson a video

-of supporters in Bordeaux.

-He started to see the excitement

-that history was being made.

-We could talk about this all day but

-we don't have time!

-My favourite is TregAaron Ramsey.

-Another event which Catrin

-was correspondent for...

-..was the Olympic Games in Rio.

-One of the stars of Rio

-was Jade Jones.

-On Monday, she won Welsh

-Sports Personality of the Year...

-..after winning gold in Rio,

-her second Olympic gold.

-And during this weekend...

-..she's won gold at the Taekwondo

-Grand Prix in Baku, Azerbaijan.

-She recently revisited

-her first club - here's Clwb Ni.

-A few days before

-a busy week...

-..there was a special day in

-the Flint Taekwondo Club...

-..when Jade returned to the place

-where it all began for her.

-A chance to inspire

-the next generation.

-It really is satisfying to see

-people here from 4 and 5 years old.

-We've also got people here

-who are fourth degree black belts.

-They've been training

-many, many years.

-It's great to have

-a range of ages and grades.

-People coming through the classes.

-It's really inspiring.

-It's a Korean martial art.

-It consists of

-punches, kicks and blocks.

-It's a great method of self-defence.

-In our style of sparring

-which might be a bit different...

-..from what

-people saw in the Olympics...

-..we score with punches and kicks.

-Punches to the head are a point

-and punches to the body.

-A kick to the body two points, a

-kick to the head three points.

-We also have a patterns tournament.

-It's a routine of movements

-like kata in karate.

-The top scorers are the winners...

-..and they can

-win medals in that too.

-It's great for the family.

-I brought the children here first...

-..but after years of watching

-I felt like joining in.

-It's a great way to keep fit.

-There's a bit of

-role reversal with the kids.

-I usually tell them what to do...

-..but in Taekwondo

-they tell me what to do.

-It's amazing to come back

-to my very first club.

-Martin was my first instructor.

-Seeing that the younger ones

-have been inspired.

-Seeing their little faces

-trying hard gives me a real buzz.

-I've been working really hard

-and I'm tired out now.

-All the training really

-makes you short of breath...

-..and all the kicking

-makes you feel really tired.

-I've been doing

-Taekwondo for about five years.

-I started as a Little Ninja.

-That's the introduction

-to Taekwondo.

-When I first came

-we didn't know about Jade Jones.

-It's always been one of my goals

-to get to the Olympics.

-It's amazing what she's done.

-It brings the sport to the area,

-knowing there's a local Olympian.

-It's an inspiration for the younger

-generation to take up the sport.

-One day

-I want to be like Jade Jones.

-It's crazy to think

-that I went down to my club...

-..literally to see what it was like

-and to enjoy a sport.

-I remember Martin saying,

-"You're a natural."

-He was putting me into competitions

-quite early.

-It's mad to think it's gone from

-going down to the local club...

-..to being

-a double Olympic champion.

-I'll definitely never forget

-where I've come from.

-This is the first time

-I have seen this.

-There are some very frightened

-people in these shots.

-I don't want to see this in January.

-You can see that show

-in the New Year.

-I'm better at cooking

-than I am at that kind of thing.

-I'll be up in Scotland in the

-first week of the New Year.

-The Pro 12 will Be Carrying On.

-I may be off to Wimbledon

-later in the year.

-I will of course be in

-the six Nations.

-I expect to be on a trip to the

-southern Seas with Wales...

-..or following the Lions tour.

-That's all for tonight.

-Don't forget about

-Sgorio tomorrow at 6.30pm.

-We'll have Welsh cup and league

-action and the best from La Liga.

-See you next week on Clwb 2.

-S4C Subtitles by Testun Cyf.
