The news here and the chairman of Swindon Town

:00:10.:00:14.

football club has told the BBC he wont be leaving.

:00:15.:00:18.

Angry fans were calling for Lee Power's departure last night

:00:19.:00:21.

after the Robins lost 2-1 at home to Scunthorpe, confirming

:00:22.:00:23.

and outside the chant was the same.

:00:24.:00:40.

Fans not only devastated, but angry and ready to point

:00:41.:00:43.

We had a rubbish manager and a rubbish owner.

:00:44.:01:05.

Scunthorpe took the lead in the first five minutes with this

:01:06.:01:07.

Swindon's fate was effectively sealed as Sam Mantom swept home

:01:08.:01:15.

Rohan Ince netted from range, but the Robins

:01:16.:01:18.

And Bury's victory condemned them to the drop.

:01:19.:01:23.

Chairman Lee Power says it's not time to retreat, but to rebuild.

:01:24.:01:33.

It is my job now to pick up the pieces and carry on with the

:01:34.:01:37.

If I was to give up, there wouldn't be a football club.

:01:38.:01:41.

It is not nice hearing that, but I understand

:01:42.:01:44.

Fans will be looking for more than assurances,

:01:45.:01:47.

as next season's strategy is put into place.

:01:48.:01:50.

And you can check on the progress or otherwise made by the rest

:01:51.:01:52.

of our sides this weekend, on the BBC Sport website.

:01:53.:01:57.

The big news in rugby, Gloucester have reached their second

:01:58.:01:59.

European Challenge Cup final in three seasons as they held

:02:00.:02:02.

on to win an absorbing semifinal at La Rochelle.

:02:03.:02:05.

Fly half Billy Burns was the hero, scoring all 16 of their points

:02:06.:02:08.

before they resisted a battling comeback from the French team.

:02:09.:02:10.

And they'll face Stade Francais in the final,

:02:11.:02:12.

after a heartbreaking defeat for Bath Rugby this afternoon.

:02:13.:02:18.

A last minute Jules Plisson drop goal sealed the win.

:02:19.:02:20.

Bath fly half George Ford missed the chance to level the match

:02:21.:02:23.

Huge disappointment for Bath who put so much work into getting back

:02:24.:02:31.

into the match after Stade's initial 18-6 lead.

:02:32.:02:33.

Pretty much the story of our season, not being able

:02:34.:02:35.

Especially in a play-off match like today, I think it was in

:02:36.:02:43.

We'll just have to take it on the chin.

:02:44.:02:47.

Bristol Ladies Rugby missed out on being crowned

:02:48.:02:51.

Despite this second half try from Chantelle Miell

:02:52.:02:55.

they lost the playoff final to Aylesford by 17-8.

:02:56.:02:58.

Disappointment for the team and their supporters who'd finished

:02:59.:03:02.

In other news, a Gloucestershire Regiment veteran who fought

:03:03.:03:07.

at the Battle of Imjin River during the Korean War has passed

:03:08.:03:12.

on an important piece of military history today.

:03:13.:03:13.

Private Sam Mercer survived the Glosters' epic stand of 1951,

:03:14.:03:15.

After the war Sam was presented with a rare book, which lists those

:03:16.:03:22.

He's now giving it to the Soldiers of Gloucestershire Museum,

:03:23.:03:29.

but first it was blessed at the Cathedral, where Sam recalled

:03:30.:03:32.

Sitting on the ground, looking at the muzzle of a rifle,

:03:33.:03:39.

Determination, bloody mindedness and a very large slice of Lady luck.

:03:40.:03:48.

Someone up there was looking after me at that moment.

:03:49.:03:53.

Finally, there's a new arrival at Bristol Zoo this

:03:54.:04:00.

The little one was born early on Saturday morning.

:04:01.:04:06.

Mum Touni and baby are well, they'll be closely monitored over

:04:07.:04:08.

The Gorilla House is closed for a bit to give them

:04:09.:04:12.

Here's Bee with a look ahead, heading downhill a bit

:04:13.:04:17.

We have had a lot of sunshine through today.

:04:18.:04:21.

For most of us, we will see more cloud overnight tonight.

:04:22.:04:27.

There will be a few breaks, but I think with that layer

:04:28.:04:30.

It does mean quite a grey day tomorrow.

:04:31.:04:34.

In the morning, largely dry, particularly further

:04:35.:04:36.

south where I think we will see some sunshine.

:04:37.:04:38.

Thicker cloud and some showers will start to push in as we

:04:39.:04:41.

go through the day, so turning a little bit more unsettled.

:04:42.:04:44.

It is still quite mild and any brightness,

:04:45.:04:46.

one or two spots could hit 15 degrees.

:04:47.:04:48.

We get that cold air digging in from Tuesday, so a cold,

:04:49.:04:51.

A mixture of sunshine, heavy blustery showers and

:04:52.:04:54.

We're back bright and early in Breakfast news tomorrow from six,

:04:55.:04:59.

It has been a fine and dry day, and it the sunshine temperatures were

:05:00.:05:15.

about 17 degrees. But a change in weather as we had through this week.

:05:16.:05:20.

Wintry showers and some frosty night in the forecast over the next few

:05:21.:05:25.

nights. We have a cold front starting to work in across Scotland,

:05:26.:05:32.

introducing colder air towards the North. Towards the
