BBC Three: Day 5: 09:00-14:00 Commonwealth Games

If you want to succeed in sport you have got to aim high? How high

If you want to succeed in sport you you prepared to go? How about 195

feet? This is the Finnieston Crane, one of only 11 cantilevered cranes

anywhere in the world. For some it is a fitting tribute to the city 's

I love Glasgow for the character of an

I love Glasgow for the character of aid. I am looking at the place as a

sort of giant playground. Street trials for me is a very individual

thing and also it is really good to trials for me is a very individual

do with friends, as a group. -- character of it.

do with friends, as a group. -- writing. It is important for me to

feel I have done my very best and I make it look as easy as possible. --

perfection in riding. I am not competitive with other people but I

feel competitive with myself. I think I have got a pretty good grasp

in my head of what is possible for me to do on a bike. For some reason

I always seem to know what my 100% is. I am in control of my own body.

It does not matter if it is 15 feet or 200 feet.

You want to live in a city that allows you to kind of be creative.

When I feel that I have landed a trick perfectly it is really a

feeling of relief because it is something I have been thinking about

the long before it happened. Unbelievable, he was riding a bike

up here, I am walking and I am not very happy. It is rusty, wobbly, and

frankly unsteady on its feet. That is just me. Below me, 195 feet,

who's counting? Here is another number, five, that is what day it

is. Yesterday was absolutely sensational. Sophie Thornhill, the

English Tandem win. The gold medal goes to England. Superb ride by the

English pair. She takes the gold medal.

She is miles ahead, this is utterly stunning, gold to England. It is

gold to Siobhan-Marie O'Connor, look what it means. He claims the gold

medal. Another British Commonwealth record and gold against the Fran

Halsall, what a double. What a finish, Laura Trott delivers again

when it matters, right at the end. England's top the table, I beg your

pardon, Australia topped the table with England is not far behind.

Charlotte Kerr would got her fourth Commonwealth gold, Laura Trott

climbed out of her sickbed to deliver an extraordinary medal on

the track and Fran Halsall doubled her golden moments in the pool. The

home nation did not increase their goals tally but did add a bronze

banks to their youngest team member ever, 13-year-old Erraid Davies

making the podium. It is absolutely amazing up here. That's table will

be changing today and already just past 9am, we had been walking up

here, exhausted, but all of the competitors today have already been

involved in the action. At the International hockey Centre, at

Glasgow Green, South Africa are taking on Australia, that is on the

red button. And this is what else we have got coming up this morning. At

Kelvingrove Northern Ireland are chasing their first gold medal of

2014, their men's triples are in action. We will be bringing you

netball as Wales take on Barbados. And there is another busy morning of

swimming in store at Tollcross. But now we will head to Kelvingrove,

about a mile in that direction but I don't want the cameraman to turn

very quickly because we are a bit precarious. Northern Ireland in

action, they will retire after this event but can they go out on a high?

We can join Paul Mitchell and John Price and I am going onto terra

firma. COMMENTATOR: Skip of the pairs. Mark McHugh playing in the

fours this week. The players get to play in two disciplines. Two

opportunities at a medal. The good ends building here. They lie three.

Checking his bank balance on his mobile. He would need a tablet for

that. It must be seven minutes after the

hour, the University clock is chiming. BELL

Oh dear, it is in the road. Difficult bowl to get around.

Neil looking to defend. No danger here. Hi line. Just popped it out

too far. -- that is close to being in that you

would expect a very beatable. Needs the push and gets it. If that

is not shot that is certainly second. Still Northern Ireland. But

a good save by Bobby Donnelly. Neil Booth has the right to reply. Harry,

made! A good effort. -- hurry mate. I cannot see him changing, really.

Same sort of strength Pushing again, looking to push the

bowl. Just a little bit too far. Good effort again. Couple of good

bowls from Bobby Donnelly for South Africa. Yes, he is very good at

that, Bob. Just when he is in trouble he produces a really good

bowl. Did that a few times in the group match against Northern

Ireland. Quite frustrating for the guys. He was probably the

Ireland. Quite frustrating for the in a close match. When is down to

the last end. Not a good indicator for this game, every day is

different but it is psychological. As you mentioned both teams

different but it is psychological. through so an element of relaxation

but always the realisation you could meet the same team again. And here

they are in the final. Northern Ireland in the quarterfinals

disappointed the home support beating Scotland. That was an

excellent win. Very good, followed it up against the Welsh

trio. They were seven points behind in that game and against the very

useful Welsh trio. I thought they would do well. They are in the

bronze medal play-off. And there we have it after four ends. Very

cagey. Certainly is. You mentioned the comeback against

Wales. Northern Ireland, the pairs were on the wrong end of a comeback

with Martin McHugh and Ian McClure looking semifinal bound, leading

against England but could not see it out. Just when you think something

is safe and you have the momentum. It can change.

He dropped a second bowl then again there. Missed a chance.

This is good. APPLAUSE That is well played, good adjustment

from his first bowl. Leading with two you can get one close and one

past that is acceptable from the skip's point of view.

He nearly got the Jack round the corner, playing well, Neil

Mulholland. Started well. Both middlemen playing really good bowls.

It is inside line with this. If the weight is good, it won't be too bad.

It was good. Three shots. Still a good chance, here, for Neil Booth,

anything on the Jack is good. He does not want to be too heavy, just

enough, get it through. The Northern Ireland bowls are waiting.

Really searching for this. The weight is good but it is just inside

it. He will settle for the second bowl. That is a good shot. It would

not have been his first tries. It looks like second. -- first choice.

The wavy red bowl has come through, resting on top of the two Northern

Ireland bowls, they will be waiting for it.

Well underway, Bobby. -- well under with that, Bobby.

Just inside it again. He needs a kick back of that but does not get

it. It is a spare bowl, for Bobby

Donnelly, and a chance to add another. Getting it to come in. Just

running through. When we talk about the spare shop, you know your

opponent has no right of reply and you have a chance to draw, to add

another. Not too much danger, but just missing out on that occasion.

It is very tight, isn't it? South Africa, just nudging ahead, but as

yet, no one has had a chance to craft a big score. No, no

opportunities. The closest was Northern Ireland on the last end but

no one has had a really good chance, yet.

APPLAUSE That is worth the chalk it is going

to get. He has started to play quite well, this young man.

We're going to leave the match on BBC Three but you can see the end of

it on BBC1. It is a beautiful day in Glasgow, still on top of the

Finnieston Crane and baloney, the River Clyde. The city was built

around the river and the water looks warm and inviting, doesn't it? But

at Tollcross, it certainly does and Helen Skelton is there for us.

We are shaping up another morning of swimming after an exciting night

last night, Andy and a dream come EU where the commentators and I have

prized you out of the commentary box. You are worried your mum is

going to tell you offer not having a shave. Completely, if she is

watching this, I'm dead. I love this, multimodal winning grown up

with your own family and you still came on and went, "I wonder what my

mum will say". Talk us through yesterday. Erraid Davies, the

13-year-old youngest member of team Scotland pages because we had no

idea it was going to shape up to be so exciting. Fantastic, firstly, she

was lovely in the interview and watching her body language, she is a

kid in a sweet shop. She is doing the race, starts quite slowly, a bit

of a crowd-pleaser, so the first lap of the 100 metres, fairly decent

pace and then she just built up and built up. By the end, she did really

well, qualified second, and he wondered if it was too good to be

true. But she came back in the wondered if it was too good to be

final, unbelievable and the crowd went utterly nuts. It was fantastic

to be there. It is great to hear how excited you get because you have

both been there, eight Commonwealth medals, four Commonwealth Games

medals. Do you ever medals, four Commonwealth Games

wrong word but blas? about what is going on? No, we don't. Simply

wrong word but blas? about what is You can probably tell.

wrong word but blas? about what is job but we come and watch the

summing once a year and just have a lot of fun. We have

summing once a year and just have a 14. Only about ten years, obviously!

30! We sit with a mate and have a chat about a sport we love and see a

different generation, chat about a sport we love and see a

three generations since, now. chat about a sport we love and see a

watching talent in sport is chat about a sport we love and see a

fantastic, talented people getting it out on

fantastic, talented people getting brilliant. It must be great to be

fantastic, talented people getting part of it because you were involved

in Edinburgh in the Commonwealth Games, and it feels like the glory

days have come back. Last night was a great night in the pool and a good

sign for produce winning for the future. It is wonderfully exciting

to watch excellence. Being serious for a couple of seconds, I love

excellence, and seeing Fran Halsall, winning the 50 free, 24.96, a time

that would have won the Olympics, that would have won the World

Championships, it was utterly brilliant. And then to come back on

the 50 fly, she is really flat, staying lovely and flat so her

energy is just going forwards rather than up and down. You tend to try to

use your energy to go down to your breath but look at our flat she

is. Hardly breathing at all. Again, and you Commonwealth record, to do

the double, fly and free, no Commonwealth Games woman has ever

done that. Is it difficult for people to appreciate how significant

this is, when unfortunately, in some of the other sports, people who

should be here are not here, but not in the pool, this is a world-class

field. Yes, the Aussies, especially the Campbell sisters, are real

threats. We have got a chance today of Ben Proud, I know we are

previewing, but he has already done the 50 free and has the 50 fly,

today. A great chance for him. A lot of people tune into summing during

the Olympics and keep an eye on the World Championships and comeback for

the Commonwealth Games. The Olympics was not great, being is changing in

terms of the funding and a bit of a hangover. Are we getting rid of that

now and moving out of that period? I hangover. Are we getting rid of that

think we are. We have got some good youngsters coming through.

Siobhan-Marie O'Connor, yesterday, we say she

Siobhan-Marie O'Connor, yesterday, medal but she is only 18. She got a

silver medal in the 203, and then a silver on the 100 fly, lost the race

by 0.05 seconds and most people would be utterly delighted to get a

silver medal but she was gutted would be utterly delighted to get a

did not win it. But on the medley last night, she took on the fastest

in the world and became the fastest woman in the world in the 200 medley

by two seconds and won the gold. Adding together the Scots, the

Welsh, English, if you put the British results together and compare

Welsh, English, if you put the against Australia, because that is

what happens in the World Championships and the Olympics, put

it together and there are some great swimmers in there, 18-20 -year-olds

who will be there for another five or six years. Talking of putting

things together, can we group together the home nations medals and

beat Australia? It would be close. We keep a running tally every meat

and we're not quite there. What we're almost there, head to head

with the Australians which is great place to be. In the 200 free relay

last night, the Australians won it pretty easily but if you took the

best times of the British nations, Calum Davidson of Wales, a couple of

Scots and an Ingush guy, we would have won by 0.2 seconds. Australia,

if you are watching... We are coming for you! Different lanes but we

still beat them. You say that really impressively and then those big

Australians come out. We have a table in the press room to keep them

quiet. What can we expect in the pool this morning? Craig McNally in

the 200 backstroke. He was at the World Championships last year, going

up against the great in the semifinals and beat him and

qualified fastest for the final. It did not pan out but he's got a good

chance of winning the gold medal. It is the heat this morning and the

finals this evening. Georgia Davies back in the pool, can she turned

silver into gold? I think so. In the past, she has not swum particularly

well under pressure, she sticks head up and goes too fast and does not

hold in the water. You know it was a long time since we did it, right?

Great technique. Things have changed! But on the 100, she was

fantastic, 59.5, just stunning. Having said that, I am really

looking forward to the men's 50 freestyle, getting their guns out.

It is probably worth looking at and the's Twitter account to see what

he's talking about. For the ladies, it is purely professional reasons

that we have an interest in that race. Some of them have an

incredible physique. Yet the full range of ages, so Ben Proud, having

won the 50 fly, is only 19 and is a good-looking chap, nice and strong.

I think you agreed this morning. And then Roland Schoeman... News also

good-looking. -- he is also good-looking. He is ripped! Don't

worry, you used to be in great shape. Mark Foster is still a bit

like that. Get him to take his shirt off this afternoon. That makes it an

entirely different show. Getting series, Ben Proud can do what Fran

Halsall did. He has a chance of a double. I'm pretty excited about

that. And Ollie Hind, massive name, Paralympic and world star, European

style, could get the full set. That is really important. We have not had

too many home nations Paralympic and is, which is a bit of a shame, but

talking to Marc Woods about it, they are focusing on the Europeans. He is

the Olympic and Paralympic champion, world Paralympic champion. Not many

swimmers, we were trying to work it out yesterday, not many have got the

full set of European, Commonwealth, world and Olympic medals. Jade

Wilkie, Rebecca Adlington. I am very bitter about it because I got three

and I got disqualified after winning the world title. Look at his face.

Lets not talk about it any more. On that solemn note, let's go back...

Thank you for joining us. No one will be getting their tops off in

the commentary team but in the pool, some fantastic swimmers and

fantastic figures to look out for. The gang will be here this morning.

You can join us a bit later, as we get underway, kicking things off

with a swim off so it is going to be exciting.

We have come off the crane and we are going to the SECC now. Any idea

where that might be that way? I'm sure someone will find it. It is

live netball now, pool B, Barbados against Wales. Against second

bottom. Let's join the commentary team. -- bottom against second

bottom. COMMENTATOR: The scene is almost

set. The players are just waiting for the introductions from the PA.

And the music will start to build up. The atmosphere and the crowd

will be asked to stand on their feet, and clapped the players.

Welcome the feet, and clapped the players.

Welcome athletes onto Court for the start of the first match of day

five. Stand up, on your feet, Glasgow! Let's bring them onto court

excavation knock -- onto court! So the atmosphere starts to build and

we await the start of this game between Wales and Barbados. Let's

just enjoy the atmosphere in the SECC. And we can hear the

introduction of the two teams. Wales! Chelsea Lewis. Wing attack,

Suzie Drane. Kyra Jones, centre. Wing defence, Nayar Jones -- Nia

Jones. Goalkeeper Kelly Morgan. And head coach Laura Williams. Barbados!

Goal shooter, Laurel Browne. At goal attack, Sheniqua Thomas. Wing

attack, Samantha Browne. Centre, Jeneice Clarke. Wing defence,

Shanice Rock. Goal defence, Rhe-Ann Niles. At goalkeeper, Shonette

Azore. And head coach Anna Shepherd. Emily Young from Kilmarnock delivers

the match ball. CHEERING WHISTLE

COMMENTATOR: Barbados get is underway, attacking the posts to the

right-hand side in the orange and blue. Wales in red. Joining

right-hand side in the orange and the commentary box for this one is

our residents netball expert Anita. It is important for Barbados to get

a good start and they do, the 16-year-old Sheniqua Thomas

a good start and they do, the the opening goal. Thomas not afraid

to put the ball up but I am interested to see the busy nature of

Azore at interested to see the busy nature of

major influence in the defence. She has a heavily strapped right wrist.

Good work from Samantha Browne. Moving fluently through to the

circle edge. Good retrieval by Wales. There she is, she needs all.

-- Shonette Azore. Somebody stood on her wrist accidentally. Important

interception from Azore, keeps it on centre pass. One of the highest

scoring defenders in terms of interceptions, rebound. She really

does moves well around the shooters and pick off the rebound. 14 rebound

is already in this competition. -- rebounds. A great stat. As a

spectacle it will be much more gripping if these sides stay within

a couple of goals in the first quarter. They need to use Sheniqua

Thomas at goal attack a bit more, Sheniqua Thomas held onto it too

long. She works hard, scoring percentage slightly down but lots of

opportunity. percentage slightly down but lots of

position she needs the ball. percentage slightly down but lots of

Wheater, if you are a netball coach, I know you have been. If you had a

16-year-old shooting 73% be happy. But at the Commonwealth

Games she is playing against the likes of Australia and South Africa

just one game, superb percentages. I think that was almost two Welsh

players there, Nia Jones and Prichard. Collision between

players there, Nia Jones and and Jones. The ball was up there

everyone to take. Actually Barbados did not need to do too much. Right

elbow to the chain of Prichard. -- did not need to do too much. Right

chin. And gets to work. -- Adam gets to work. Prichard of the oldest

player, phenomenal falls in Superleague, taking a break for

international duty but returned for this campaign for the Commonwealth

Games. Couple of injuries from defence for Wales in the build-up,

Stefanie Williams, Sara Hale and Prichard finds herself in the

squad. Really a driving force for the Welsh defensive unit. She has

been having difficulties with her knees, numerous time-outs in

matches. Sam I am sure are real issues, others I am sure going down

to try to take the sting out of the game. I was talking to Catherine

Harvey Williams, about whether or not netball should introduce

time-outs into the game to get away from the cynical time-out. I will

get your views on that in a second. It is level. Probably something that

game will look to do. There are tactical time-outs for sure. Not

defined in the rules. Certainly they are taken at convenient points in

the game, so it just makes sense. A good pick-up by Nayar Jones -- Nia

Jones. Putting lots of pressure on around the circle, Nia Jones. She is

a strength for Wales. This is where Prichard is of great value,

communicating strongly, opening up the court. The first goal against

centre pass? Lewis cannot make it stick. Azore gets the last touch so

Moseley will inbound. Lewis has had a good confidence start. Moseley

backs that up with this as well and Azore mops up. It is not a goal

against centre pass. You can see Laurel Browne heavily strapped right

leg. Three intense games in three days. Surely that will take its toll

on Barbados. Search a talented set of individuals. When they play with

some structure in attack and defence it is incredible what they can do. I

am sure with just some work over the next year particularly with Sheniqua

Thomas, this certainly will be a force on the world stage. It is busy

and congested in the circle for Wales and Lewis, credit to her,

managed to move around Azore. A good take from Niles, it was

behind her. Drane has been penalised. Jeneice Clarke just

pitched herself way back there to the circle, leaving Sheniqua Thomas

to do a little bit more work than you would expect for a goal attack.

She is coming very deep, almost to the centre circle to pick up the

ball. Thomas, then, her first shot at goal. Rebound to Wales. Second

opportunity for Wales to take the lead against the centre pass. Thomas

holding her right shin. She will get a time-outs. In fact it is the calf

I think she is going for now. I think that his sweat, not sure

those are tears. I am not surprised, she has been working incredibly

hard, almost covered Wing attack. Jeneice Clarke and Centre for

Barbados just caught to fire back in the pocket. Really does need to pull

out. Just a challenge with Prichard, as that's long ball came

through. -- Pritchard. It is the right leg that is getting some

attention. Not sure Nikita Piggott will be too

keen to take to the court after the injury, she was helped from the

court against Australia yesterday. She could not walk from the court.

APPLAUSE Not sure whether she will play a

part today. Piggott was definitely struggling in the warm up at the

start of this game so I am sure this is the combination Barbados will not

want to alter much. There are some mid-court players that might offer

some relief but that is a better start from Chelsea Lewis after the

time-out. Wales with the lead for the first time and an opportunity to

get some daylight between themselves and Barbados but Drane cannot keep

it in play. I think she feels the last touch was of Rock. Gary Burgess

does not agree. That has to be close to three seconds. It has been blown

by Sharon Kelly on this nearside. Similar error from Jeneice Clarke,

when the player is on the front she needs to deliver the ball. Just to

open up the court. It is having the belief in your ability and your

team-mates ability to collect at this level. The opportunity to pass

is only there for a split second. Wales retained possession, they lead

by two. Can they apply the pressure and turn possession over once again?

Better work from Samantha Browne. Good movement through from Sheniqua

Thomas. That opens up for that ball into Browne.

Laurel Browne came into this game shooting at 88%. She is four from

four so far. She has had a good tournament but has not had enough

opportunities. Only 46 attempts now in three and a big games. Great ball

into space from Suzie Drane. Kept in by Lewis. Not afraid to look to the

back shooter, Suzie Drane. She by Lewis. Not afraid to look to the

really sees both shooters even in the congested circle. Moseley once

more. Good three over the line from Wales, stopping the forward centre

pass but great recovery from Samantha Browne. Linking well with

Thomas on the goal attack for Barbados.

Lovely pass. From Pritchard on the move. If Barbados can just put some

pressure on in the mid-court area on defence I am sure they would come up

with more ball. It is free flow through two thirds for Wales. It is

a lead of three and possibly four depending on this possession. Good

switch of leas depending on this possession. Good

Lewis. -- Barbados managed to keep it tight for the first half of the

first quarter but Wales now pulling away. Timeout called for Kyra Jones.

That is an umpire 's time-outs. Potentially a cut needing to be

covered. On her left wrist. Kyra Jones, formerly Kyra Neill, came

over from Australia to play for the Celtic Dragons in the Superleague.

As the name would suggest, her married name would suggest, she is

now married to a local man. Laura Williams, I am sure she will

be happier now that they have a 3-goal lead. Knowing, nodding smile.

be happier now that they have a it seemed like there was an awful

lot of Vaseline on her wrist. That will make the ball all fully

tactile. -- awfully tactile. Lewis, that is the thing with her, she has

those moments when she does not get the shots that she really should,

unopposed, there. It is just about the shooting routine, setting for

the shot the shooting routine, setting for

consistent. At times, she rushes, changes her release point. Prichard

does well. Sitting down, taking a bit of a break, entertaining the

crowd. Almost gets caught out of position and realises that actually,

she should probably get back on the court because it was not a penalty.

Had it been a penalty parcel shot, she would have had the time. Thinks

about it, and the smile from Laurel Browne. The full tour of the ring

before it drops. If Prichard had stayed off court and Barbados had

taken the stayed off court and Barbados had

been a foul throw, and a throw into Wales, so that is a tricky one. You

have do have Wales, so that is a tricky one. You

board. Though she did have the time to sit there. But she realised and

got herself back on otherwise the umpire may not have been too happy.

Good pressure by Shonette Azore again, but just finding herself

behind. She needs to keep moving on Lewis. And the ball into space is

much easier with Shonette Azore which is behind. -- pitched kind.

When she is busy and moving around, moving sides of the shooter, she is

coming out with more possession. Doing a great job, there, stopping

the movement. There she goes. That is a lovely shot from the

youngster. They have just steadied the ship, Barbados.

Wales have a four goal advantage, or a two centre pass advantage, if you

like. That was unlucky from Morgan. Trying to get in front of Laurel

Browne. Better pressure from Rhe-Ann Niles,

keeping Moseley out of play at the second phase of the centre pass.

Almost turnover ball. Just a replay, to give Wales the free pass.

Moseley, missing from distance. And a chance for Barbados to get one of

the two centre passes back. Better structure, Jeneice Clarke, playing

the role through the mid-court. Barbados play better when they are

structured. When they get behind and they get tired, they lose all sense

of structure and it becomes very scrappy. But they have passed up the

opportunity to get a centre pass back on this occasion. That was

close. They will get another chance, Barbados. Good cover by Morgan, the

Welsh goalkeeper. Just forcing them of the circle edge, Wales, a good

trio in defence, with Jones, Prichard, and Nia Jones at wing

defence. -- Billy Pritchard. Barbados really need to finish this

quarter strongly, otherwise the game could slip away from them. They have

had two opportunities to get one of the centre passes back and passed

them up. Yes, it is just about consistency through the court, not

taking the risks, just playing the ball and being patient in the

attacking third, for Barbados. Such talent in the side. It is just the

structure that they need. The ball carrier just sees the wall

of red for Wales. Forcing the error, by the pressure outside the

circle. So, a chance, here, for Wales to get another goal against

the centre pass. And they could have... Now varies a collision.

Rhe-Ann Niles on Suzie Drane with Shanice Rock in error as well. -- in

there as well. I think they want the floor mopping. That is what the

umpires are waiting for. Suzie Drane takes it upon herself. Just giving

the floor a good polish, there. Just trying to recover that, Kyra

Jones but again, a good pick-up by Rhe-Ann Niles and a better

transition through the court for Barbados. This is their centre pass

and they need to take it through to goal if they can as we enter the

final minute. That is a force pass towards Sheniqua Thomas which Kyra

Jones intercepts but the whistle had orally blown. Thomas, over the top.

-- had already blown. That is some take on the right hand by Laurel

Browne but she has missed a rather straightforward attempt on goal.

Full extension but no rhythm to the shot. Very stiff in her body

position. Shonette Azore vary again. -- Jeanette is all, there again.

Good cover on the back by Shonette Azore on Lewis. But you can see the

contest between the two, better movement by Shonette Azore. In the

end, she was penalised, and Wales have a chance to get the last goal

of the quarter. Lewis has missed. Well, that is the end of the first

quarter. Keenly contested. Barbados had a chance at the end to get back

into the contest, certainly, closer to Wales and Wales had a chance to

pull further away. Neither side took their opportunities.

So, let's have a look at the stats behind the school. -- score. The

shooting attempts for Wales, increasing in tally compare to

Barbados. Shooting percentages, it is interesting, Wales will be

looking to up that but some good service from Jones and Suzie Drane

to the shooters. Defensively, you can start to see, it is interesting,

still some errors in the Welsh play as well as Barbados, but individual

on forced errors for Barbados. -- on forced errors. Let's look at the

highlights from the first quarter. Great start by Barbados. Shonette

Azore very busy, creating congestion in the circle and some good work

using the width of the court for Barbados, getting the ball through

to Laurel Browne. Moseley, just gaping wide in the circle, not

afraid to take a long shot. -- keeping wide. But this is where it

starts, and Barbados just a little shaky, and missing the shots under

the posts. So, let's see what is being said. She will do the job at

wing attack. You can do the job at wing defence. Focus on that. Goal

attack needs to challenge. Really put the pressure on the shot. Good

from you. Rest up. Go again. So, not everybody is on the bench

for Barbados. There is shooters are out, having a go. Latonia Blackman

is shooting. She usually plays at the back of the court but maybe she

will make an appearance at the far end.

A couple of changes to tell you about for Wales. Suzie Drane has

moved from wing attack to centre. Bethan Dyke has come in at wing

attack. And Kyra Jones has dropped to wing defence. Nia Jones, dropping

into the circle, two gold events. Ursula Pritchard is having a rest.

-- to gold events. There is Suzie Drane. -- goal defence.

Everything seems Barbados. Certainly, Prichard.

Everything seems with her legs. Good to see Nia Jones

in the gold events position. She with her legs. Good to see Nia Jones

a worker. She denies an awful lot of space. It is the space that Sheniqua

Thomas is getting that could be a potential threat to Wales. Thomas,

two Samantha Browne. Jeneice Clarke. Sheniqua Thomas spends a lot of time

out of the circle which makes the Welsh defence that much easier, only

having to deal with one inside the shooting circle. Laurel Browne seems

to be telling Sheniqua Thomas to go out on the circle, creating a

one-on-one situation but the defence is coping well. Barbados need to mix

it up. We are seeing flashes of brilliance. So Barbados to get the

opening goal of the second quarter. The opportunity to make it a 2-goal

game. Good support by Rhe-Ann Niles, finding Laurel Browne. Now, she

missed one from almost this exact spot at the end of the first

quarter. This time, she gets it. Barbados back to within two and they

have one of their centre passes back. She is incredibly high on the

balls off her feet before she has even prepared for the shot, Laurel

Browne. Some adjustment on that technique. Mosley has missed and

Rhe-Ann Niles picked up the rebound. This is a good start for Barbados.

Rhe-Ann Niles picked up the rebound. Wales need to get back in the zone

and now the opportunity to get a five goal advantage at the end of

the first quarter becomes all that -- that much more important. Good

the first quarter becomes all that work by Barbados, keeping the width

on the court. Just with Laurel Browne's shooting action, if we get

on the court. Just with Laurel a chance to see... Very high on her

toes. That was a chance to see... Very high on her

was a Barbados centre pass. a chance to see... Very high on her

Barbados centre pass, next. Oh, that is a harsh call against Laurel

Browne. It just hit her right hand. Samantha Browne is limping around.

Shinnie get on is trying to bring the umpire's attention to the fact

their wing attack is injured. A good fake by Bethan Dyke, and she

distributed the ball well through to Lewis but a contact call gives Cara

Lea Moseley the chance. Which she takes. Wales back up to a 3-goal

lead. Barbados with a missed opportunity. It is good to see that

we have not had another time-out and Samantha Browne has run off that

injury. Here she is. Rock. Laurel Browne comes back out. Via

Samantha Browne, a good feed into the space at the back. Yes, Nia

Jones was just caught with their head down. Laurel Browne, very quick

to see the space with the goal-line run.

Clark, penalised for the challenge on Suzie Drane. She has certainly

tightened up the defence, coming through the court.

Cara Lea Moseley with no problem at all, reclaiming the 3-goal lead.

Ursula Pritchard is on the exercise bike. Space for Laurel Browne but

that is not on. Samantha Browne, trying to find Laurel Browne. It is

a low release point from Samantha Browne. Just not placed well enough

for Laurel Browne. Better defence by Barbados. Yes, good positioning by

Rhe-Ann Niles. She read it well. She could see that she was hunting...

Oh, two people running into the same space.

Again, another opportunity for Barbados, not taken. Good movement

through the top of the circle by Cara Lea Moseley. Coming back out to

the transverse line, Suzie Drane. need to force it. Rhe-Ann Niles

dropping back the support a Azore and bad paid dividends, but pressure

on Lewis. Is or having a good game at the back for Barbados at the

moment. on Lewis. Is or having a good game

at the back for -- that paid dividends. Plans the four goal lead

restored and an opportunity to make it five for the first time. Good

ball from Suzie Drane. It would have been easy to look for Lewis but she

just sees the crafty movement of Moseley entering the circle. Good

pressure in the middle channel from Wales. Clarke. Managed to find

Browne but Morgan came up to punch it away, illegally, says Gary

Burgess. Thomas the Browne. Browne makes it a four goal game once

again. Like Chelsea Lewis penalised. They need

player movement off the ball, Barbados, one player to pull the

defence of the other one to move into mid-court. Clarke is on the

ground. Important shot. Back to three.

Centre pass to Barbados. Another really important passage of play for

the Caribbean islanders. This is the best game we have seen Barbados play

by a long stretch. Clarke working hard, starting the pull some width

on the cord and use that ball side position. Better played by Barbados.

Clever feed by Browne and it is Sheniqua Thomas again. Bajan flag

waving high in the stands. That has worked three times now, Moseley

staying wide. Lucky. Good movement from Chelsea Lewis,

she recovered well. She was caught behind Azore, switched her footwork,

got herself in front. Clarke taking the ball that was the

Browne but that is good work again, having a great game and goal

defence. Superb ball through to Sheniqua Thomas. Well played,

Rhe-Ann Niles, for Barbados. And I think Sheniqua Thomas losing your

hair band which is why there is a pause in play at the moment. -- they

hairband. We continue, just under six minutes

remaining in the half, this is a close one. Having disposed of

Trinidad and Tobago fairly easily I think Wales might have thought this

one would be slightly easier with Trinidad and Tobago beating

Barbados. But it has not been so far. They are being made to work.

Yes. There you go. Nayar Jones with a great interception. Telegraph

ball, Jones will take all of those in wing defence or goal defence as

she is now. That is what she has trained to do through those

positions. Bethan Dyke on the edge of the circle to Lewis. Important

shot. The youngster has missed it. Good boxing out by Azore for

Barbados. Patiently building up. This is where they get stuck.

Thought she was going to get blown for three seconds. Slowed to move

from the defensive third. Fortunately for Wales, Cara Lea

Moseley has got the radar zoned in. Lewis just a little bit out at the

moment. Body language from Lewis a little bit negative at the moment.

Yes, it is tough in there. Shonette Azore, impressive goalkeeper. That

is the problem for Barbados, it is about where the players track to

from that defence. Yes, but unlikely, Rhe-Ann Niles, shoulders

dripped when she saw the pass fell to Moseley. Good recovery from

Lewis, that is better from Chelsea Lewis. -- drooped. It has just

suddenly happen for Barbados, struggling to get it out of the

defensive third. Azore turning the ball over but it is about transition

into the mid-court. They need to keep their wits but use a lot of

preliminary movement. Having gone so close for almost a half, the final

four minutes of the second quarter could be their undoing in this

match. Unlucky. From Niles once again. Lewis have added the link but

it does not matter, six goal lead. Timeout, Niles I think? Azore? Both

of them don't look great. As all will be receiving treatment. Wales

will breathe a sigh of relief that they have just opened up their

largest gap on Barbados. It is the wrist, where she was stepped up on.

She has been a real strength for Barbados. Just driving out of the

circle for the intercept. Getting in a good strong position on the

rebound but some great delivery from the bag on her an attack as well.

rebound but some great delivery from And quick to TrackBack and cover

Chelsea Lewis, the goal And quick to TrackBack and cover

Wales, even when she is And quick to TrackBack and cover

fit to continue for Barbados. It has been hard work for Wales so far. An

opportunity to go up by seven, but still plenty of time to inflict

lasting damage on the Bajan in this first half. A two-minute break for

this injury time-out. Sharon Kelly blows the whistle on the injury

time-out. Azore can continue. Jones. Nia Jones the Kyra Jones and

back to Nia Jones. Penalty against Clarke. Drane. Bethan Dyke on the

edge of the circle, feeding Lewis. That is a really good jump from

Azore. Now they get it out of the defensive third. Just that first

pass out of defence that is a problem for Barbados. Pressure on

Laurel Browne, needed to go in. A bad mess. Kyra Jones, Nia Jones,

lovely ball. She is an incredible force, Shonette Azore, reads the

ball coming through the court. You can see how she repositions. But

this is the crucial phase for Barbados. Nowhere to go. Right on

the edge. Trying to keep it alive. Really difficult for Barbados,

they'll have to take the shot at some stage, they are not any closer.

But they are now courtesy of the foul. We enter the final 90 seconds

of the first half and it Barbados can put this one away it will be a

level second quarter. Good patients from Rock on wing defence. Thomas

rushed the shot that it was a good one. 9-9 in this quarter. Moseley

the Bethan Dyke. Keeping the ball on the same side, Wales, straight-line

ball through to Moseley. Moseley makes the shot. That is her

favourite spot in the circle. This is crucial. Was not the nicest of

passes to Niles but she does well. Clarke does really well to pick that

up because she saw it at the very last minute out of her peripheral

vision. Good work at the back from Morgan. Sheniqua Thomas just a

little bit disappointed she did not come out with the ball again. Again

she is on the front position, just the Barbados players wanting to

force the ball across. Is all got a clash on the head. On the mouth, by

the looks of things. -- Azore. A coming together with Moseley. She

will need to leave the court as well, her second time-out. Barbados

aware of this, Blackman coming on now. The Barbados captain. There is

only ten seconds until half-time, let's see if we can see what

happened. It was a head-butt, accidental of course. But it looks

like it was Cara Lea Moseley. She is going to have ten minutes and ten

seconds to recover from this, possibly a little bit more because

the clock is currently stopped. She is having a chat. To Armin

Harper, primary carer for Barbados. Anna Shepherd is there as well. Just

seeing if they can move fell off the side of the court to continue. -- if

they can move her. Often caution with an umpire particularly when

players taken a blow to the head. APPLAUSE

Extra time off and taken in that situation. Just as a precaution.

Obviously she has taken a blow there to the side of the face. APPLAUSE

Let's hope she's OK to continue after the half-time break. Let's

hope it is not as serious those pictures look. Clarke. In two Niles,

they have to move this quickly, they will run out of time. WHISTLE

They have run out of time. And really close second quarter, Wales

winning by one macro, Barbados still really in this game, just five

points separate them. At half-time. At half-time Wales must be feeling

pretty confident, we will be bad with the second half live but now we

will carry on with another story from netball. Malawi are a country

with many historical links to Glasgow and also happens big the

fifth best netball team in the world. Lee McKenzie went off to meet

the Queen the Queens. In Malawi netball the second only to football

in popularity. Every young girl dreams of being good enough to play

in this team. They have never won a Commonwealth Games medal before but

they are ranked fifth in the world, so is this the year where these

girls could challenge for bronze, silver or even gold? I must be very

open, today. We have been warmly welcomed by the Scottish people,

here in Glasgow and at the village. These welcome bars -- please welcome

a lovely! Some of the names of the roads, of the buildings in Malawi

are named after some places in Scotland. It means a lot to Malawi

because this team put us on the map. In 1995, when we first came to

the World Championships, it was in Birmingham. It was our first. When

we arrived, we saw that things were changing, there were almost two

teams, and Malawi made it up to the eight. From that time, it was the

dedication of the coaches and the players, that we should improve so

we could be on top of the world. Most of them are not as tall as

other players that we see across the world. It is a game that requires

some girls to be tall enough so they can play an easy game. But my belief

is the team will do it, the team will make it, the team will deliver.

You are an international sports star, now. Yes! It feels so good,

especially when people at home watching you playing outside Malawi.

People back home watch these games. I think they will be proud of us. We

are born Malawians. Our cultural stead detained people. -- culture is

to entertain people. But we have to work as well as entertain. You will

see that on the court when the game starts. I'm delighted to say that I

have been joined live by the world champion, Olympic champion and

Commonwealth champion Joanna Rowsell. Congratulations. Getting

the 3000 metres individual busy, you must be rabies reveals. Young thank

you, over the moon, I got the Commonwealth Games record as well

which is brilliant. I can't believe I pulled it off. It is great to hold

those titles all in one go. It is extraordinary, the quality of the

cyclists in the women's team, for Great Britain and England as well.

It is amazing. Because we are split up into England, Scotland and Wales

here, everyone can compete. You can have nine UK riders. There is great

strength in depth in the competition. Women's Injera track

cycling, the strongest nations in the world other than Great Britain

are Australia, New Zealand and Canada. They are the top girls may

have been here. It has been a tough competition and I'm over the moon to

come out on top. Winning the Commonwealth Games, clearly you do

the World Championships every year and this is only every four years.

As you say, all the top nations are here so it must be brave special.

Exactly, for me it is a special event, something I grew up watching

and direct it up there with the Libby games. -- I rate it up there

with the Olympic Games. In the UK, it can come out only once in your

career. I missed out on the last Commonwealth Games because I had by

Jill Aviva and four years before that I was only 17. This is my first

Commonwealth Games and I came here wanting the gold medal, being the

world Champion, I was in the last heat and I was the favourite and I

wanted the title and I'm so happy I've got it. The crowd at the Sir

Chris Hoy Velodrome are knowledgeable and of course they are

going to Stroud. This riders but I heard a lot of support for you as

well. Yes, the support was brilliant. Before I came, people

asked me if I would get any support and I said I hoped so. They are good

for all the home nations. The velodrome is great because it is

relatively small, with velodrome is great because it is

own. I can't see the person I'm racing against.

own. I can't see the person I'm better. I love it. Let's talk a

own. I can't see the person I'm about the team. Team

own. I can't see the person I'm champions in the team pursuit as

well. You had Katie Archibald as well in that team, and you got the

well. You had Katie Archibald as world title and the world record,

and Elinor Barker missed out on the police in the team event. It shows

you the strength in depth of young riders coming through. Definitely,

it was me, Laura Trott and Dani King who won the gold at the team pursuit

but since then, everyone wants to be in the team and everybody wants the

same for Rio. It is a popular squad to try to get into. And the event is

now for riders with four kilometres so we have an extra spot available.

About six of us are based in Manchester now, training together,

and then there's another five or six in Wales, the Academy squad, the

younger riders, like 17-19 -year-olds. There's a lot of

competition to get in the squad so I have my work cut out to keep my

place for Rio. I'm still working hard and I'm on the right track at

the moment. When you look at the younger riders, do you -- are you

pleased their strength in depth, or are you worried about your place?

Taylor they are probably better than I was at that age. I only started

racing properly at 16 so I will still finding my way when I was 18

or 19, working out what I was best at. There are 18 and 19-year-olds

who are junior world champions are ready, snapping at our heels. It

worries me a bit but I think that makes the team better, having the

pressure from beneath. It always makes the top riders push a bit

harder in training and you always have the selection battle. Whenever

we race in the team pursuit, we take a reserve rider. We never know until

an hour before whether we will be in the team so it keeps everyone on

their toes until the last minute. British cycling has had a purple

patch but such a long time now. Can it really continue? Australia, New

Zealand and Canada, as you mentioned, will be looking at how

Team GB and England are doing. They will be getting programmes together.

Can the dominance that you guys seem to have continue? I hope so.

Everyone is out to beat us. The team were dominant in Beijing and it was

great to watch and everyone said we could not do it again in London but

we did. In a four-year cycle, you will have peaks and troughs. Every

time someone does not win something, everyone is quick to say that the

Aussies are back or whatever but we can get it right again for Rio. We

have a lot of experience of getting the four-year cycle right. We have

made improvements from the World Championships in February,

especially the men. Everyone is going in the right direction.

Bradley Wiggins is back for the team pursuit who is great to have around

just for his character but he's a really strong rider as well. I think

we are going to get it right again. Absolutely. Dave Brailsford is away

from the track cycling programme, focusing on the road race and Team

Sky. Is there a real loss that he is no longer around? Does he still

played his nose in now and again? Telly-macro there is a loss because

he was such a great leader and we had success under him but he pokes

his nose in occasionally. Team Sky are still based in Manchester. It is

always good to see him around. But a lot of people have learned a lot and

he has led the team for Beijing and London and we still have the same

core staff. If he is not there every day, we still have the best staff in

the world supporting us. Tell me about your plans. When you started

cycling, a lot of people suggested you were not the right shape, not

good enough, not putting in the Times, finishing last in your first

race. I read a lot about how you were motivated to prove people

wrong. What keeps you going? You are breaking records and winning

championships all the time. I was talent spotted when I was 15, told I

had really good power output on a static bike but I had no skill

whatsoever in actually riding a bike. I was completely freaked out

when I heard the bikes had no brakes. I did not know how to do it.

I think people thought that although I was powerful, I had no idea of

tactics to anything. My first race was a BMX which was terrifying in

itself because it was not my cup of tea. I have always been out to prove

people wrong and show what I can do. It is not always easy. When I tell

the story about being talent spotted at 15, everyone thinks the rest is

history but it has aways been a battle. It has never been easy but

it is a journey I have really enjoyed as well. Obviously, when you

got into the team, Victoria Pendleton was around, and some

really experienced people like Sir Chris Hoy and Craig MacLean who is

still around. You probably looked up to them and aspire to that. Now

everyone is looking up to you and aspiring to your success. Is it

something you were comfortable? It is strange because I'm 25 but I am

one of the oldest on the squad, the oldest in the women's squad. Thank

goodness Bradley is back on his putting the average age is up. But I

am the oldest women's rider now which is a bit strange. The other

people look up to me because I used to look up to people like Bradley

and Sir Chris. It is a nice position to be in. People recognise that you

have had success. As an athlete, you are always looking forward at the

next target, the next win, achieving another time. It is nice to think

that you have won some good things sometimes, nice to reflect.

Obviously, you are representing team England and you have the gold medal

and you are very proud and beat lag of St George on your nails which

looks fantastic. Clearly, Elinor Barker and Katie Archibald our here

as well. Let's talk about Elinor Barker first. How talented is she?

Really talented. She came into the squad in 2013, after London and

impressed everyone. She has been the senior world champion twice now and

she is only 19. That's a lot more than I did when I was 19. She has

won a silver and bronze medal this week. She still has two more events

to go. She pushed Laura Trott all the way yesterday, it came down to

the final sprint. And Katie Archibald got a bronze after

finishing fourth twice. Clearly a huge home favourite and she is a

live wire as well, I understand. She is brilliant to have around, a great

personality and great fun. She came into the squad full-time in only

November last year, I think. She has improved the nominally in that time.

If I could improve that quickly, I would be breaking world records all

the time. She has come from being the new bee, the weakest, the

youngest, and suddenly, every session, she is improving. Goodness

knows where she can go. But definitely, she is a great asset for

Rio, on and off the bike. It is a pleasure for me to meet you, and

your success is fantastic. Congratulations again and here is to

more success in the future, as the oldest member of the team. That is

incredible, so young and still the oldest member of the tee mesh Mark

let's go back to the netball now. Behind me is the armadillo, the

SECC, just over the back of that, and let's get back to Wells against

Barbados for the second half. -- Wales.

COMMENTATOR: She just seemed to overextend that left arm. It looked

like she hyperextended behind her. When you have played so many intense

games in quick succession, the body becomes susceptible. Yes, you get a

sense that it is fatigue, and some of the Barbados players are a bit --

were a bit hesitant in the warm up. Hopefully she will be able to

continue. No, Shonica Wharton's game has lasted 90 seconds. And Browne is

back on. Any game plan that Anna Shepherd had, trying to change

things up, has not lasted very long. Wharton did not even get a chance to

get a shot away. Now, can Wales open their account in the second half?

That has too much on it. Rhe-Ann Niles comes up with an important

turnover ball. And the chance for... Barbados that they don't take. Yes,

it is always that critical point, just as they come out of the

defensive third. But a good recovery. Browne, there, doing some

work in the wing recovery. Browne, there, doing some

Barbados. They get a chance, here. It is almost as though they want

advantage played in, now, because Browne had a route through to goal

which she does not have now but she still scores. A 2-goal game and they

Barbados and Bath and this is not still scores. A 2-goal game and they

the second half. Credit to Barbados, a bit more patient in the build-up.

And again, just looking for the long ball through to Sheniqua Thomas. She

hangs wide, and just creeps into the shooting circle. What an important

shot this years and it is a one goal game. It has not been a one goal

game since the midpoint of the first quarter. Questions being asked of

Wales and can they respond? Lewis needs to be careful. Almost

turnover ball for Jeneice Clarke. Just that loose double being sent by

the Barbados defence. -- being set. That is good work by Moseley. Well,

Lewis has a tendency to miss at crucial moments and that was a

crucial moment. Barbados, if they can see this position through, have

the next centre bars, don't they? Some good work, the long ball

Prichard, not tracking. Barbados get away with that because there were no

options the Thomas but the foul relieve the pressure. Into Browne.

This is to level it up. The playmaker. Browne misses the

opportunity. She gets a second which she does not mess. It is a square

game. -- does not miss. trying to apply the pressure. Now

they need their shooters to fire. trying to apply the pressure. Now

and then to retrieve and play the ball

and then to retrieve and play the defence. This is a

and then to retrieve and play the strong. The first goal of the third

and then to retrieve and play the quarter comes for an a half minutes

into the piece but it is the captain who does really well.

into the piece but it is the captain had given up that opportunity to

into the piece but it is the captain had given up that opportunity take

the lead. If they had done that what would that have done to Wales? But

Lewis has missed again. Real pressure by Niles. Good work from

Barbados on the transition. More pressure by Niles. Good work from

structure in attack. It is just the movement of the ball. Browne has

missed it. Looking right down the barrel of that one. Both shooters

Merwe is missing -- missing key opportunities. Lewis has another

chance. Becky James on the bench, she might have a part to play later

in this game if Lewis continues to fluff her lines in front of goal.

Credit to Bethan Dyke, she worked and tracked the centre past from

Barbados to gain the intercept. Goals scored for Wales. Better play.

Seems to have shot them into playing in this second half. Moseley

composed on the shot. Run of four goals from 23-23 just give Wales a

bit of breathing space. As quickly as they have got that lead they

could lose it. Browne losing her bearings. And another chance for

Wales. From being up there Barbados suddenly find themselves four goals

down. The pressure and momentum with Wales. How the game can change with

one or two passing errors from Barbados.

Fought about it, drops. Wales centre bass. -- thought about it, Wales

centre pass. Bethan Dyke into Lewis. Niles was a little late to track

Lewis. Six unanswered goals. Wales back in command. As we take past the

halfway point of the third quarter. Lewis indicated he/she has the

backspace but no Welsh player wanted to put the ball through. They sense

that Niles is there. Clarke is OK to continue after the collision with

Pritchard. Good recovery by Jeneice Clarke for Barbados. It is a good

shot. Now it is Barbados's turn to have a little run of goals. Well

done, Cara Lea Moseley. Niles cannot get possession back. Just a little

naive, Sheniqua Thomas, not realising the pressure would be on

from the attack from Wales at that centre pass. Another miss from

Wales. The Welsh shooters at 67%. That is about average for them.

Lewis over her previous three games at 71%. Cara Lea Moseley and 63% in

this one, 60 5% in the previous three. Excellent ball by Bethan

Dyke, wing attack. Suzie Drane pulling herself of the circle edge.

Laurel Browne missed five shots in the previous three games and has

missed five shots in this one. Great play.

Browne trying to hold strong against Kelly Morgan. Thomas misses a key

shot. Struggling to pick off the rebound, the Barbados pairing, in a

shooting circle. Some great positioning by Morgan and Pritchard.

Well done. Browne. Clarke, Laurel Browne. She has to give it, she

finds Samantha Browne. Good strong arms by Pritchard. Gets the

deflection. Laurel Browne finding the target. 8-8 in this quarter so

far. Remember, at one stage Barbados were level, 23-23. Just rushing that

shot, Chelsea Lewis. Good work from Niles. Good structure from Barbados

through the mid-court, supported well by Shanice Rock. Thomas does

well. It is their centre pass. Niles goes long to Thomas. And a

chance for Browne. Important chance. This one is going to go to the wire.

Some good play through the mid-court from Jeneice Clarke, Centre for

Barbados. Heavy reliance on Niles and Blackman now to close off this

ball through to Lewis or Moseley in the well shooting circle. Moseley

comes all the way back out to Nia Jones and Bethan Dyke. Moseley

then, no problem at all. Barbados you feel have two score from this

then, no problem at all. Barbados possession. If they can go in for or

three down they have a chance in this final quarter but in danger of

going in five down which is what they were at half-time. Great play

from Suzie Drane. Justin that's double play with Pritchard. Gets

herself to the circle edge. Quality netball by Suzie Drane, the captain

for Wales. It is a Wales centre pass so that possession for Barbados

could ultimately prove very costly in the match overall.

It is a six goal game and they simply have to score from this

position, Barbados. Ideally they would like to run the clock down and

get the last goal of the quarter, if they can. That will help.

get the last goal of the quarter, if being called. Thomas. Clarke. Three

second hold. And this could be the perfect finish for Wales. Three

goals in the final 90 seconds. A good response by Moseley, some great

work by Bethan Dyke. work by Bethan Dyke. Foot fault

error, contact, that is time. That is the three quarters time whistle

and Wales have a great end to the third quarter. They lead overall by

seven. If 's and buts for Barbados but these are the statistics. 51

shooting attempts for Wales but still these 69%, they need to lift

that. Towards the end of that third quarter, much better for Wales.

Contact penalties very similar for both sides. Some more obstructions

for Wales. But there is lots of pressure being put on, particularly

in the mid-court, as we said. 20 errors for Barbados. Wales started

poorly, they did not get their goal until foreign a half minutes.

Much better finish to the quarter. Great intercept from Bethan Dyke,

previously Suzie Drane, they started to turn the game after those

intercepts. Chelsea Lewis staying to turn the game after those

strong and focused even though she had those missed shots. This is

where Barbados got back in touch. It was 23-23 at one stage. Unforced

errors creeping in, giving Moseley the chants from her favourite spot.

You often see her shooting in that position. Listen up, we have to keep

this short and sharp, you make the preliminary move or you attack

through the middle and we make sure that every possession we keep. I

don't care if it takes 50 passes, we keep possession. Yes? No real

surprises. Let's see what we can get from this. You are capable of

defending. Wise words from Laura Williams. And the last team huddle

for Wales. We said Becky James might have a role to play and indeed she

does. She is an act goal shooter after Lewis's am missed shots in

front of goal. We are ready for the final quarter here. And here we go.

Final 15 minutes of this match. Some changes. We start with Wales, Becky

James on in place of Chelsea Lewis. And Barbados have made changes as

well. Latonia Blackman has gone to goal defence and Rhe-Ann Niles the

goalkeeper. Just a swab in the defensive circle. -- swap. No

surprise to see Becky James on. Wales extend their lead. Barbados

had an opportunity in the third quarter which they did not take and

they are being made to pay for it now. Costly error at the centre

pass, you get the sense Wales got into their stride. Moseley shooting

with confidence. Adjusted well to Becky James coming in at goal

shooter. Some good quality service from Bethan Dyke and Suzie Drane,

the Welsh centre -wing attack pairing. Not afraid to put the ball

back to the line, Wales. Just rebuild. Patiently keeping

possession. Ursula Pritchard, and Nia Jones.

Becky James. Moseley, and the contact call against Rhe-Ann Niles.

Jeneice Clarke needs to receive some attention. Well, Wharton did not

last 90 seconds, when we had our first two-minute break in the third

quarter and we have not gone two minutes in the fourth quarter before

treatment is required. So, Wales have had their moments in

defence. They have come up with some great turnovers. Let's have a look

at some of them now. Some great commitment from the attacking

line-up for Wales. Bethan Dyke, really fast off the line, defending

the Barbados centre pass. Prichard, showing the commitment to retrieve

the loose ball. Deflection but still chases up. It is good to see.

So, Jeneice Clarke is OK to continue. Wales will feel a lot more

confident, now that they have got a ten goal lead. It would take a swing

of some proportion for Barbados to get anything from this game now.

Jeneice Clarke has come off, in fact.

Finisher crony comes on at centre. -- Damisha Croney.

A good take from Suzie Drane. Just run out of gas Barbados, a little

bit, unfortunately. Yes, no denial in terms of the defensive pressure

on the circle edge. Suzie Drane, just able to link and move and

deliver to Moseley. And the errors are now coming from Barbados. They

are just looking tired. The teak seems to have set in, particularly

for Sheniqua Thomas at goal attack. -- fatigue seems to have set in.

Good pick-up by Moseley. She just could not convert. Rhe-Ann Niles,

therefore the rebound, for Barbados. This would be the first time Shinnie

get as has played four consecutive quarters, a whole match, for

Barbados. -- Sheniqua Thomas. Two players started the movement into

the mid-court and it paid off for Barbados. They just pooled, and were

able to get the ball through. Just a reliance on one person moving at

times, Barbados, in attack. Laurel Browne has also played pretty

much the whole game. Just 90 seconds at the top of the third quarter when

she did not play. When you are only getting a future is in a quarter,

you need to convert them. -- a few chances in a quarter. That is a good

swing of the ball. Suzie Drane across to Ursula Pritchard but again

intercepted by Latonia Blackman. Oh, that is a good take from Damisha

Croney. Just no option for Sheniqua Thomas.

The delivery comes through from the top of the circle, into Browne.

Damisha Croney, just struggling at centre for Barbados against the

speed of Suzie Drane. Barbados have not scored a goal, now, for six

minutes. Laurel Browne scored their last, two minutes and 11 seconds

before the end of the three quarters last, two minutes and 11 seconds

time -- of the third quarter. But she has scored again now. Bethan

Dyke, quick to react, lifting up in the air, popping the ball over. A

good pass through to the shooter. Samantha Browne, good on the ball

placement through. Good work from Kelly Morgan,

stopping Sheniqua Thomas. Again, good pressure on the line by

Wales. Yes, Morgan with the reverse hand, just coming out with

possession, tracking the ball well from the centre pass, preventing

Browne coming anywhere near that one.

Ursula Pritchard, on the line, not being defended, unopposed. You get

the being defended, unopposed. You get

tired out on court at the moment. Blackman, penalised. Moseley has

missed. But the game is safe, I think, from a Welsh perspective.

Rhe-Ann Niles that the most energy. She keeps on

popping up for that offensive rebound. -- defensive rebound. Good

work from Blackman. And good work from Moseley. That

reinstates the 12 goal lead. James recovers, and so does Rhe-Ann

Niles. -- Jones recovers. -- James recovers. The best performance

become petition for Anna Shepherd and 13. She just needs to follow the

shot, Becky James. She is just standing there. She could

potentially have got herself in for the deflection. Again, good

pressure. You could see that one coming with Wales, just pitching

into the centre channel. Good structure. Nia Jones retrieves. No

one from Barbados is on the defensive transverse line. They are

there, now, but their work rate has fallen off a cliff. No, not putting

the pressure up on defence and capitalising on that, not afraid to

put the ball back, Wales. Suzie Drane just trips on Ursula

Pritchard. This is unravelling at a fair old rate for Barbados, isn't

it? It is a quarter to far, almost 19 minutes too far. The final four

minutes of the third quarter was wearing began. That went from a

three goal difference, to a seven goal difference. In the opening nine

minutes, it has gone from seven, to 13. There is going to be another

time-out. Latonia Blackman just ran with the

ball and collapsed at the top of the mid-court area. Let's have another

look. She retrieves but just continues all the way through.

Struggling, somewhere. I think she got caught by the falling Becky

James. Blood injury, gold offence. -- goal

defence. Now it is the turn of Ursula Pritchard to have a time-out,

for blood. You need to change the goal defence

because it was a 32nd time-out. She has to come off. -- 30 seconds

time-out. The referee is telling Barbados that the tiny -- Latonia

Blackman has to be replaced. She could not come back on, now, having

gone off. Barbados wing defence had the ball.

Rhe-Ann Niles has gone to goal the fence -- goal defence.

Laurel Browne, finding herself out of the circle. She was eager to get

back to her favoured position, just holding strong on Morgan. Good

retrieval by Sheniqua Thomas, for Barbados. There she is again. What a

youngster, what a future she will have, Sheniqua Thomas, for Barbados.

Shonette Azore has gone into goal defence, pardon me. I am surprised

they did not swap around. Shonette Azore is in at goalkeeper, sorry.

That is the decision that has been made.

Becky James to Ursula Pritchard. Bethan Dyke. Into Suzie Drane again.

Solid work around the circle edge, for Wales. Oh, dear.

Costly, again, just the errors creeping in in the mid-court area

from Barbados. Relatively uncontested, balls coming through,

for Wales, on attack. You just get a sense it is Rhe-Ann Niles that is

putting most pressure on, but the other Barbados players are not

committing to the defensive roles. Oh, it has lipped out. Becky James

has not had a great introduction into the piece.

game. Sadly. Just the four goals in this quarter so far. That was that

work from the centre pass from Barbados. Good preliminary movement

by Thomas to find the passage through to goal.

Niles has gone down. We will have another injury time-out. She will

have to be replaced. 30 seconds, just to leave the court. Niles. Tony

Blackman is going to come back on. -- Tonya. Niles has had a good game.

You get a sense it is fatigue for Niles.

Again, quality delivery at centre for Wales. They got 50 against

Trinidad and Tobago. They will not get 50 against Barbados. Can

Barbados find a couple of goals towards the end, to finish on a

high? Good defensive pressure again. Strong communication from Prichard.

Wales, going to their second win. board.

Wales, going to their second win. They were pushed all the way by

Barbados, until the final quarter. A good finish by Brown, for Barbados.

That is the end of the match. A match that Wales have crow,

That is the end of the match. A was in the balance until the final

quarter. It was a slow start but the final 15 minutes put paid to any

Barbados hopes. We mentioned in commentary, Barbados

running out of gas. It was a great start to the game, but they could

not hold strong. At times, limited in the movement. The availability of

the attacking unit. We talked about loss of play and possession around

the mid-court-macro area. Wales, loss of play and possession around

solid at times. Hesitant in some of the shooting. -- mid-court area.

They gave a solid performance. Delight for Wales. They have one

match remaining against South Africa, which if they could get a

result would be key for them. The shooting attempts, 71, that tells a

story. Obstructions, interestingly, 16, a high score, for Wales, against

that of Barbados. But unforced errors for the Barbados side. Still,

Barbados are able to come out with the defensive rebounds. Some quality

work. The matchplay errors and turnovers

for Barbados, just... We can look at the highlights from the last

quarter. Wales, 15 interceptors in the whole match. Great work from

Moseley. At times a little shaky, Rebecca James, but she recovered

well. Niles put in great defensive pressure. And Thomas, the youngster

for the future for Barbados. She will be back and stronger after this

competition. Plenty of Commonwealth Games in the locker for her.

We are on the south of the River Clyde. You wander around here and

look who you bump into. Wet Wet Wet. What are you doing here? We got

invited to come along and play. The music and entertainment has a part

to play. We are playing a tiny part. We feel privileged to get on

the stage in front of people and play. Being part of the Commonwealth

Games, it is a big deal. The city you guys are from. It is great for

Glasgow and Scotland. It is great to see the athletes doing well. We have

caught some of it. We have been touring, so it has been quite hard,

but what we have court has been exciting and brilliant. Tommy, you

are the drama, you are clearly the emotional guy, you have a heart.

What has made you emotional? I was watching the two sisters in the

judo. They did an interview. I have never seen happiness like it. The

youth and naivete, the fact they succeeded. Being a musician, you

spend three or four years preparing, to try to get your songs out there.

They have dedicated themselves ten, 15 years, for this one stage to get

onto. And to see them have the success. It upset me. I was

thinking, oh, Glasgow, I wish I was there. The Scottish swimmer. The

young boy who won? Ross Murdoch. When you saw him getting his medal,

it was a great moment. It all came true for him. We are sitting here,

but I want to focus on other nations. Australia. England, they

are doing OK. Looking at the other nations, as well. What I am looking

forward to is the boxing. Maybe it is the aggression, it is an

excitement, they knocked seven bells out of each other and I like that

side! We are here and we are on at 8pm, playing for an hour and a half

and hopefully people will come along and enjoy us playing live. We will

do our bit, but it is about the athletes. I am not sure there are

any tickets, maybe you should not come! If you are close by, you will

certainly hear them will stop on the north side of the river, as well. We

can go back to live sporting action. Helen Skelton is with the swimming

team. Swimming is under way. We will

remind you of what has happened. We have the men's 200 metres

backstroke. The next heat, we have a British golden boy in action. Andrew

and Adrian, over to you. James Magnussen, the fastest man in

the world. He is in Lane 4. The first of the seeded heats. Ranked

number three in the Commonwealth coming into this heat. Seventh

fastest in the world this year. Relatively slow, he was, to win the

100. Conor Munn, of Northern Ireland, he is in lane seven. Adam

Brown is going well. It looks like James Magnussen is going to get it.

He does. 23.66, that is interesting. Adam Brown had a great start. He is

gritting his teeth here. Really fighting the last ten metres.

Finding that difficult. James Magnussen getting the victory. The

time is not bad. He wins the first of the seeded heats, there are three

of them and the big boys are still coming. I would imagine that sub 23

will be enough to make it through to the semifinals.

This is interesting. Shoeman Against Ben Proud. Shoeman, he is in great

shape. Ben Proud, something special from him.

The second last heat. Fascinating to see underwater. Three, four, five,

using underwater and using it well. Shoeman, he is looking powerful

using underwater and using it well. lanes. Ben Proud is in Lane 5. His

final 25, very good indeed. Ben Proud, equal second with Richard

Schafers. Great reaction from Richard Schafers. Ben Proud, a

fantastic stroke technique. Puts his arms forward, almost straight.

Getting his body as far as -- is far ahead as he can.

It looks like sub 23 will make it through to the semis this evening.

So far, we have eight on 22.87. The final heat. George Bovell, some

really fast guys. Abboud, he is top of the shot.

Cameron McEvoy is going very well. Very tight indeed.

Disney-May might make it. It will be Disney-May might make it. It will be

As expected, the two Australians in one and two. Richard Schaefer 's has

Curtis Coulter is the. He is in 16. Where you impress with Benjamin

Proud -- Benjamin Proud? I think he is a sprinter. What gave you that

idea? How impressed were you with? Really impressed. It is only a heat.

The top 16 go through. The guys in the middle of the pool are probably

half a length better than everyone else. You do as little as possible

to get through to the semifinals. You just need to execute things, get

off of the blocks and get off of the blocks and get over the boards. You

take it a little bit easy. That comes of expedient, doesn't it #

when Benjamin Proud the 50 metres butterfly, he did not breathe but

they are, they took a stinky breath. I do not know if he doesn't want to

do that during freestyle. -- took eight sneaky press. Did I tell you I

was a sprinter? The case of the men's 200 meter backstroke came on

before we were near. -- the eats. You have got Mitch Larkin going in

fastest. He has got two Silver medals as well. He wants to get a

gold medal. We also saw Ryan Bennett and Craig McNally. Ryan Bennett to

get out hard from the start. He was to put in a good heat. Craig

McNally, he swims tactically. He goes out a lot slower and then

brings back in the last 50 metres. He totally picked it up towards the

end. Is this Craig McNally 's best chance of a medal? They would have

senior team-mates getting medals. That'll have knock-on effect. In the

backstroke events, in the 100, they came seven. He is not a sprinter, he

is a middle distance swimmer. You wondered what Craig McNally was

doing there and then he came through at the end. It looks like he's

playing games. They have both been to the Commonwealth Games in India

and we were impressed with Craig McNally at the World Championships.

I'm sure he has got more to give. And since they are both Scottish

table want to give more. Let us remind ourselves who is through.

That is tonight, the final. That is from seven p.m.. It is time for the

women's 50 meter backstroke. Georgia Davies. The Welsh have not had any

golds yet, can cheat on silver into gold? She talked about mocking up

her finish in the last race. -- making an error with her finish. It

is so important to hit the wall at the end. You see people who finish

with the finish off the leash with a big glide. -- who finish with their

face. The 50 metres backstroke is her race and she has a good chance.

James Gibson trains are and also Fran Halle Sol and Liam Tancock.

They have got a strong team. They are definitely more suited to the

sprint events. She did not do the backstroke event. She likes the

shorter distances. Over this distance, it is the smallest thing

that makes the biggest difference. We are talking about split seconds.

When I swam a 50 metres which I did in my life! In the Commonwealth

Games in 1994, I got a bad store -- bad start. I was about half a length

behind everybody and I came back to win the race by 100th of a second.

Tiny little things need to be right. Plenty of British girls starting the

quest for a medal. Letters hand you over to Andrew and Adrian.

The 50 metres is often won and lost by fractions of a second. Olympic

champion by one 100th of a second. Was it enough? Of course. I lost one

by 100th. 1983 European Championships.

Emily Seebohm has got a gold and silver so far. This will be

interesting. Elizabeth Simmonds in Lane 3. She was European champion a

few years ago. She seems to be coming down as she goes through her

career. Emily Seebohm is coming through. Over the book -- Emily

Seebohm wins it. That is a new Scottish record for Kathleen Dawson.

Elizabeth Simmonds 29 flat in Ford. -- in third.

Fascinating. All they have to do is make the semifinals but these

printers do not like to lose. Emily Seebohm swam well to get the victory

ahead of Kathleen Dawson. Kathleen Dawson has swum well this week. It

will be an interesting final. Lauren Quigley coming up in the next race.

Lauren Quigley is the fastest seed in lane four. Belinda Hocking,

champion on the 200. She has been really impressive, Lauren Quigley.

Just 19 years of age. Fourth in the 100, fifth

That is Bethany first of Northern Ireland, she is a Paralympic in.

Lauren Quigley getting a good start in the centre. Also Belinda Hocking

of Australia. Belinda Hocking looks pretty good. Gold in the 200 metres.

Bronze in the 100. Hold onto your stroke, Lauren Quigley. The British

record is held by Georgia Davis at 27.8. 28.3, that is fine. She is

second-fastest so far. 28.39, Lauren Quigley wins it. Snodgrass of Canada

in second. We have got Georgia Davis coming up in the next one. Lauren

in second. We have got Georgia Davis Quigley doing a good job. It will be

between the home countries and the Australians. Lauren Quigley WinZip,

28.3. Snodgrass second. Linda Hocking in third place. 31 could

make it through to the final. There is Lauren Quigley, wonderful

swimming family she comes from. The final heat of the women's 50 meter

backstroke. Georgia Davis from Wales. That would be fantastic for

Wales if she wins. 1974 was Wales. That would be fantastic for

time that they won a gold medal for the women. Maggie Wilson in Lane 5.

More of the 200 metres expect. -- expert.

Jessica Fullalove in lane three from Manchester.

The final heat of the women's 50 meter backstroke. 15 metres

of the water with backstroke. underwater than it is to swim on top

belongs to Georgia Davis of Wales. outside of horror British record.

She is the fastest into the semifinals. That was very impressive

indeed. But as a Commonwealth Games record. The first person under 28

seconds. This is a good opportunity for Wales to perform in the swimming

pool. She was right off at the starters gun. She spotted the wall

perfectly. She is definitely going to be challenging for the gold

medal. Good finish. Very strong. She still has a very tight Hannover. I

was talking to her court and he said that they know about that and they

are sorting it out. The 100 metres, it was fantastic to get the silver

medal for Georgia Davies. It is a new Commonwealth Games record 27.9.

He had at the qualifiers for the semifinal. Georgia Davies going in

fastest. Emily Seebohm in second. Lauren Quigley third. I am delighted

to say I am joined in the commentary box by the great, something like

that, Mark Woods. We know the school in the medals, four gold medals.

Five silvers. Three bronze. This is the SM8 category. You see the

graphic with the man coming in of things they could have issues with.

We could have in this race people with amputations. The favourite

walking and has got muscular dystrophy. That affects him

differently to how the amputees are affected but they have got

compatible abilities in the water. Oliver Hynd is a fabulous swimmer of

the Great Britain at the world games and also the Paralympics in London,

he did a wonderful job. Absolutely, he has won gold and now

this is the one he wants to compete that sector.

There is only one heat they are swimming fillet on assignment in the

final. -- swimming for the Lane assignment.

He has a very strong flight, his backstroke and freestyle is good.

His weak stroke is the breaststroke. Blake Cochrane, he is strong on

breaststroke. He won the gold medal in the 100 breaststroke in this

category. We might see him trying to make ground back up on Oliver Hynd.

This is the event that Oliver Hynd has put his stamp on. He has done a

fantastic job over the last four years. A bronze medal at the World

Championships in the backstroke. He did not quite spot the turn, having

to do a couple of short strokes. At the halfway turned, very good

backstroke. Breaststroke is his weaker? It is interesting, you said

he did not quite spot the turn. Sometimes, you need a heat to get a

sense of how you will feel with the adrenaline pumping. Those small

adjustments, I am pretty sure he will not have to do that in the

final. The Australian, to the right, really working his breaststroke

card. It must be difficult to keep the symmetrical stroke with an

amputation. You need to try to stay symmetrical and breaststroke is one

of the harder ones. Oliver Hynd turning well. The world record is

held by Peter Leake. It looks like Oliver Hynd is taking it relatively

easy. He knows he will be in lane for further final. He has blown the

cobwebs away and he is cruising. Oliver Hynd is going to win this

heat. He is four seconds slower than his lifetime best. It looks like he

pushed it to about 150 and then took his foot off the gas. I agree. The

bulk of the four seconds away from his personal best was done in the

last few metres. I can see him getting close to the world record.

Four races so far, three of them with a record. Kumarasiri, of Sri

Lanka, getting a huge ovation. It is great to see these countries

bringing para-athletes to the Commonwealth Games. Very important

for the development of the sport around the world. Oliver Hynd will

certainly be in the centre. He wants to complete the set of medals and

get a gold medal here and there is every likelihood he will do that.

From my reckoning, there have only been three British people, sorry,

two, so far. David Wilkie and the great Rebecca Adlington. And also

Oliver Hynd, which would make him of third person to do it in Great

Britain and the second to do it in Mansfield. Goodness me! The

Olympics, the World Championships the Commonwealth Games, and you are

only the second most successful in Mansfield! Thank you, Mark. Always

fascinating to watch these swimmers. Probably the most entertaining

swimming of the week so far. Three records, can we get a fourth

tonight? The women's 200 metres butterfly.

I'm joined by Adrian. Katerine Savard in Lane 4. The fastest seed

in this first heat. She is next to Jemma Lowe and Alys Thomas of Wales.

The Canadians have decent chances in this 200 fly. That is Jemma Lowe.

Good 200 specialist. The first of three heats. At the

top, McMahon of Northern Ireland. The first of three heats. At the

The two Welsh women either side of Katerine Savard. She has taken the

lead, sorry, Jemma Katerine Savard. She has taken the

lead. Good to see her back on form. Six in the 200 fly in the Olympic

Games. Katerine Savard, top eight in the world this year. Jemma Lowe has

a good second half of her length. Katerine Savard will not be used to

this. Again, the Welsh and surrounded. If Jemma

this. Again, the Welsh and this, it will

this. Again, the Welsh and semifinal, straight to the final

tonight. Jemma Lowe's record two point 05.03.

She is seven tenths of a second on her Welsh record at halfway.

Easing off a little bit now. The third 50 has been fairly

comfortable. She is now picking it up again. This is impressive.

Katerine Savard, top eight in the world, and Jemma Lowe, I'm sure

Katerine Savard is taking it comfortably, but Jemma Lowe is

making her look fairly ordinary. comfortably, but Jemma Lowe is

will certainly be in the final with this swim. Alys Thomas, that is a

good swim for her, and she should make the final with that. Katerine

Savard, finishing in third is a very dangerous place. I just saw her

face, and she is exhausted. She is more of a 100 swimmer. 50 and a

hundred. She mainly gets medals in the 100. Jemma Lowe, I think this

event suits her well. I am not sure if she has another

Commonwealth Games in her, 24 now. It would be good to see her on the

podium tonight. I am sure Alys Thomas will be in the final as well.

Katerine Savard, third, that is dangerous.

Ellen Gandy. The British record-holder on the 100 fly,

swimming for Australia now. Ellen Gandy, first international for

Australia and it happens to be on British soil. She swam in London for

Great Britain. She was training in Melbourne for a while and moved over

there. The second heat of three further

women's 200 metres butterfly and the British record-holder in four,

representing Australia, Ellen Gandy. A good quiz question. We have

various points of view about changing nations. She now lives

there and she wants to be Australian. Ellen Gandy, turning in

first place. Aimee Willmott, I think she was disappointed with her silver

but she lost to a gutsy swim by Hannah Miley. Aimee Willmott, I

know, would like revenge. This will be a hard event to do that. A couple

of swimmers are capable of faster. I am not too worried about this. Ellen

Gandy has not had the greatest meet. Aimee Willmott turning second.

Bowles, if she qualifies, as she will be doing the double tonight. If
