❗️Hoping the club network might be able to help with this one…. 🏏 Looking for a ground in South West or East 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 to host our Wales Disability pre-season friendly! 🗓️ Sunday 26th April 🟣 40 overs a side 🆚 @WalesXl ⏰ 1pm 👊🏼 Please let me know if anyone can assist!

@BowenBleddyn I thought the same Bledd. I wondered how Russell got the ball so quickly. Smart thinking that would impress you I’m sure but gutting for us too.

Wales playing at home and i would have thought that that the ball boys would have been informed by coaching staff not to place the ball immediately on half way line so Fin Russell could take the restart before Wales were in position.. not defending Botham but a point 🤔

🗓️ Date for your diary! 🏏 After a T20 double header last season, we have the privilege and pleasure to welcome @Gloscricket back to @UskCC1857 in 2026 for the @NCCA_uk showcase game! ⚪️ 50 overs 🕰️ 11am 🎟️ Free admission 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 We look forward to seeing you there to support!

Absolutely delighted for this lad... go smash it Tom

@TimesSport @sjamesjourno Is there any way to read this without subscribing Steve?

🏏 We’re looking for a ground that might be able to host a pre-season friendly in 2026 🗓️ Sunday 19th April ⚪️ White ball / black screens 🏏 50 overs 📍 East Wales ideally due to location of opposition 📥 Let us know if you can help!

Gutted to hear that former @GlamCricket and @englandcricket stalwart #Hughmorris has passed. What a stellar career in the game. Pics here some of the first I ever took in the late 80’s including one with Princess Diana… RIP Hugh @WalesNCounty

@philsteele1 OMG Phil. I’ve had the same thought for ages…. can extend that to Crawley too….

Maybe my thoughts are scramble from an Ashes ‘all nighters’ but I’m just pondering how different the test careers of Alan Jones, Matthew Maynard, Hugh Morris and Steve James might have been if they’d been given the same chances that Ollie Pope has had. 🤔🏏

It’s a University Blues double for @CrawshaysRugby who beat @OURFCblues 29-19 under the lights. #Rugby

A win for @MonmouthSports in the Welsh schools derby v @LlandoveryColl a game played with superb spirit and skill #schoolsport #rugby #walesrugby #wales

@WalesNCounty Penblwydd hapus Brian. Hope Cheryl spoiled you rotten!!

🎂 The warmest of happy birthdays to Team Manager and stalwart Brian Jones! 😅 Brian has been involved with Wales NC for over 15 years and never fails to brighten anyone’s day with a well told joke! 🙌🏻 Thanks for all you do Brian!

@philsteele1 Sorry to hear that Phil. I know how much you respected him as a leader and a man.

So very sad to hear of the death in Thailand of former Wales hooker Mike “Spike” Watkins. A lionhearted player and great character - the best captain I ever played under. The type of bloke I thought would live forever. RIP 🙏

@philsteele1 Completely agree Phil. I thought we showed tremendous spirit with a very inexperienced side. Am proud of them.

Lots to be pleased about in Wales’ performance - commitment immense. Cards cost us a bit but NZ always in control. Next 3 games are as tough as they come but I think it’s reasonable to target Italy + Scotland come 6N.

@g_r_owen Been saying it for years. Scotland do it at Murrayfield and it’s really compelling and spine tingling. No brainer.

i repeat: why does the WRU not let the anthem by sung A cappella?

@PhilRugby Aaah. Just speculation.. apols

@PhilRugby Wow. Missed that news. When was that confirmed…

@RogerBPhotos Love it. Worth the 1000+ clicks for that one!

Sharing some favourite shots of 2025. Few sights match a cartwheeling stump (unless you’re the batter). Here the off stump’s blown away leaving middle and leg untouched with the bail still on! Notts’ Jack Haynes is bowled by Oxford UCCE’s Henry Dunlop at The Parks, 31/03/25.

@robphillipshere I remember a homemade banner about Merthyr keeper:” Gary Wager is safer than condoms”… made me laugh

THE Italian newspaper which called Ceri Williams the “Asphaltarino” or something like that!! 😂😂

@philsteele1 American ism Phil

Why do spectators shout “in the hole ball” in golf. After all, no one ever shouts “in the board dart” or “against his chin glove” or “over the jumps horse” do they. 😉
