:17:24. > :17:30.Well, the reason mine was because I consumed alcohol on the Cook
:17:31. > :17:35.Islands, which was two years ago. The second reason was deliberate
:17:36. > :17:41.this regard for instruction. I spoke to the players about a player review

:18:31. > :18:37.wasn't about that, it was that I had consumed some alcohol. I don't deny
:18:38. > :18:43.that. I never did. You really, bitterly let me down.
:18:44. > :18:48.There is no doubt that Melissa Hyndman didn't mind ruffling some
:18:49. > :18:51.feathers. She was dubbed the Sir Alex Ferguson

:19:03. > :19:06.decisions taken by the management. It got results. Wales climbed from
:19:07. > :19:13.19th to eighth in the world. She also took a side from the bottom of
:19:14. > :19:16.the super league to the play-off final. Welsh netball turned down a
:19:17. > :19:22.request for an interview and wouldn't answer a series of written

:22:23. > :22:26.me. as he treads the Hoylake fairways no
:22:27. > :22:31.doubt he'd welcome a birdie. However a glimpse of a butterfly may be
:22:32. > :22:43.better for his game. I can tell you his brother would be
:22:44. > :22:47.proud. He is having a good round and is level after ten holes. Jamie

:22:59. > :23:01.centenary of the outbreak of World War I, children in Cardiff have been
:23:02. > :23:07.given a rare insight into what it was like to fight in the conflict.
:23:08. > :23:10.Staff at a high school have built a permanent, life-sized trench in the
:23:11. > :23:19.school grounds, complete with artefacts from the great War.
:23:20. > :23:23.They became a potent symbol of the secretary of war, where countless
:23:24. > :23:28.soldiers left, Ford and died. When we think of World War I, it is
:23:29. > :23:42.impossible to escape the horrors of trench warfare.
:23:43. > :23:45.This is how one of those trenches would have looked, up close. Barbed
:23:46. > :23:53.wire, dirt and sandbags. It's been recreated in the grounds of Fitzalan
:23:54. > :24:03.It has been great for the pupils. The result is a permanent life-sized
:24:04. > :24:07.replica of a World War I trench. For the children is wrote home the
:24:08. > :24:14.terrible conditions they faced everyday during the war. They would
:24:15. > :24:19.have been scared and the grenades thrown over, the shooting and people
:24:20. > :24:23.dying in front of them. As well as being an educational resource, this
:24:24. > :24:27.trench serves as a place of remembrance for the school, each one
:24:28. > :24:34.of these puppies represents somebody from the local community lost their
:24:35. > :24:36.lives during World War I. None of these pupils will ever have to
:24:37. > :24:41.experience trench warfare first-hand. But they do get the
:24:42. > :24:47.chance to see and hold artefacts from the great Hall as part of this
:24:48. > :24:51.experience. It was quite shocking, the living conditions were awful and
:24:52. > :24:57.you had to... It is hard to understand how they lived. The
:24:58. > :24:59.trench will stay at the school for the next four years and there are
:25:00. > :25:03.plans to build an underground shelter. It may just be a replica
:25:04. > :25:09.that this trench is a powerful reminder of what soldiers faced 100
:25:10. > :25:12.years ago on the front line. The hottest day of the year so far
:25:13. > :25:20.for some and a weather warning tonight. But if.
