Can’t ignore the complete and utter domination from Swansea yesterday. From beginning to end. In their decision making, defence, attack, patience. It was a complete performance.
The league double for the first time in 110-years etched in history for Russell Martin’s side. 4 nil.
🏴🤝🇺🇸
Pleasure to be asked on

Great to be reading the news & sport bulletins on

“We’ll play in the dark, we’ll play in the dark, Swansea City we’ll play in the dark” sing the Jack Army as the floodlights go out here at the stadium & the phone torches get waved around in the East stand 😂😂
Not little old Molly Stephens from Neath being invited to the House of Lords today 🤯
Pinch me!
Delighted to have been invited to the “Women Mastering Change” session today, surrounded by so many truly inspiring people who imparted so much wisdom onto me 💫
What a game of football! Some win that for Swansea City. A goal that Ben Cabango and everyone watching will never forget. 99th minute winner. 4th south Wales derby win in a row for Russell Martin.

Gareth Bale hasn’t played since October 2nd. Comes on in 97th minute of MLS Cup final for LAFC. Saves them from defeat at the death.
What. A. Header.
Big. Game. Player.

How do you possibly put last night into words?! Decades of emotions for

An honour and a privilege to witness it. Wrexham are BACK in the Football League!

Well that was unexpected! I’m in pure disbelief 😂
Sooo many learnings to take from that. But a draw against World Cup semi-finalists Croatia?! Extraordinary. Made up for Nathan Broadhead on his debut. Couldn’t be happier for this Wales group! 🏴✨
Looking ahead to Wales’ World Cup play-off final, fighting Premier League relegation with Burnley and the wonderful news re his good friend

A lovely week’s break into a 15 hour shift for
@BBCRadioWales

@BBCSportWales
and what a day I have in store:
- Sport Presenter on Breakfast
- Sport Bulletins all morning
- Pitchside reporter for south Wales derby 🔵🦢
Let’s do this 🤩✨🏴
FT 🦢0-0 🐈⬛ That was tense! 5 shots on target all game. Swansea's Jamal Lowe missed 1st half pen. Sunderland dominated possession. Ref Bobby Madley will be the most talked about man in south Wales for some of his decisions. Against all odds, Swans will be delighted with a point.
🎙️👋🏻 I’m bringing you the News & Sport headlines on

across the weekend!
Football, rugby, golf, cricket, horse racing… the list goes on! It’s a busy weekend of sport.

That was tough to watch. Painful in fact. Gutted that the performance just was not there today. Huge missed opportunity.
Sooooo… Croatia to slip up, or our old pal the play-offs again!
There’s still hope 🏴
It’s good to be back 😁🎙️💫
Kicking off my 3rd year of bringing you the sport on

Didn’t think about the colour clash when I got ready at 3am for my Breakfast shift on
@BBCRadioWales
…
Orange overkill or on brand?
That is the question. 📻🍊✨
I’m Welsh. And I’m Italian. But even if I wasn’t, I’d be delighted for Italy. Those scenes at full time were heart-warming!
Serious questions to be asked about the complacency of Wales & where this leaves them 18 months out from a World Cup.
Congratulations Italy. Deserved 🇮🇹👏

It’s been a busy transfer window so far! What do you want to ask your manager?
#CCFC
#CardiffCity
Well… that was an anticlimax wasn’t it. One of the worst halves I’ve seen from Wales. No focal point up front, midfielders can’t protect the ball, wrong formation…
Kieffer Moore needed imminently. BIG second half coming up; but we’ve seen them do it before. Come on
@Cymru
🏴🇺🇸
Taking that point all day long after that first half, thank you v much.
Incredible how Kieffer Moore can change a game. Tactics to be looked at ahead of Iran, and particularly England. For me, 4-3-3 or 4-3-2-1 our best formation.
Lessons learned. Move forward. A point earned 🏴
That was gutting.
*Wales not capitalising in first half & mistakes so costly
*Bonkers decision re Tompkins HIA incident
*Argentinian tackle on LRZ sealed our fate
*Feels like a real missed opportunity
*Dan Biggar a PHENOMENAL servant & leader. Gutted it’s the end for him 🏴
I’m sorry but, what a win.
🪄 Joey Rodon’s indeed magic
⚽️ DJ’s stunning header - the difference
👏 Perfect cross from Bale
🇩🇪 Thank goodness James Lawrence came back from Germany.
Lovely stuff. 🏴
