A women's football team has been gifted a new sports kit to support their growing success.
Kilgetty AFC Women's Team received the donation, including reusable drinks bottles, bibs, kit and football carrier bags, and Lucozade Sport drinks, thanks to Tenby Post Office Stores and Fiona Malone, who nominated the team for one of 10 kits donated across the UK by Lucozade.

Ms Malone said: "We were really happy to nominate Kilgetty AFC women's football team when we were asked by Lucozade.
"My son plays for the Kilgetty under 13s, and the whole club is really inclusive for everybody, so when Lucozade asked, we immediately thought of Kilgetty women's football team."
The kit was presented to the team on Sunday, July 13 during their Chwarae FOR HER Wales v England Watch Party at Kilgetty AFC Football Club's Kingsmoor Sports Club.
A team spokesperson said: "We are very grateful to receive all of the items from Tenby Post Office Stores and Lucozade.

"We particularly appreciate the reusable drinks bottles and Lucozade Sports drinks.
"We needed these because we've been bringing our own bottles, as the only other option was to use the men's bottles.
"The bibs are great and the kit and football carrier bags will be really useful, thank you."
The female game continues to grow at Kilgetty AFC, with support and sponsorship playing a key role in sustaining and developing grassroots football.
The club has also received ongoing kit sponsorship from Ty Francis of New York Welsh, funding from Tesco Stronger Starts, and FAW grants for equipment and coach education.

A spokesperson for the club said: "Along with the new Lucozade kit, these donations are a real game changer for the female game and it is things like this that encourage and enable players to grow in skill, confidence, gaining a sense of belonging as they play football together."

Erik ten Hag says Granit Xhaka ‘too important' for Bayer Leverkusen to ‘let go' amid Sunderland talks
Erik ten Hag has insisted Granit Xhaka is 'too important' for Bayer Leverkusen to allow to leave despite the midfielder informing the club he wants to join Sunderland. The Athletic reported on Tuesday Xhaka, 32, was prioritising a move to Sunderland over other suitors, with an agreement in place between the Switzerland international and the newly-promoted Premier League club. Advertisement Xhaka's agent Jose Noguerra Rodriguez confirmed to German media on Tuesday that there was an agreement between Sunderland and his player, but in response Ten Hag emphasised his desire to keep the midfielder. 'His agent can say whatever he wants, but this club has already let three important players (Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Jonathan Tah) go, and we won't let any more go. Granit is a leader, he still has three years left on his contract here.' Ten Hag told reporters during Leverkusen's pre-season tour of Brazil, as quoted by Bild. 'It's clear – Granit is a key player, he signed here for five years and still has three years left on his contract. He's too important to us to let him go.' Xhaka's Leverkusen contract runs until 2028 and the club's sporting managing director Simon Rolfes reiterated his importance to the club, but described any potential departure as a 'three-party' matter. 'I have repeatedly said that Granit is an important leader,' Rolfes said. 'The coach and I agree on that. We are in dialogue with all our players. In the end, it's always a three-party situation. Granit still has a three-year contract — and in principle, there can only be a change if all three sides agree to it. 'Topics like this always cause discussions and conversations. That's why it doesn't shock me.' Xhaka has made 99 appearances for Leverkusen since joining from Arsenal in 2023, helping the club win their first Bundesliga title in 2023-24. Ten Hag was appointed Leverkusen's new head coach earlier this summer, succeeding Xabi Alonso after his move to Real Madrid.

Golf odds for 2026 majors: Scottie Scheffler early favorite after Open Championship win
The world's No. 1 golfer just won the final major on the golf calendar this year, and betting experts anticipate plenty more big wins on the horizon. Updated odds for the 2026 golf majors are out, and Scottie Scheffler is the familiar name at the top of every list. He is considered the favorite to win every major in 2026 coming off his 2025 Open Championship victory at Royal Portrush, according to BetMGM. It shouldn't be a surprise at this point. Scheffler was also the betting favorite entering all four majors this season. He also won his first PGA Championship in May. Scheffler only needs to win the U.S. Open to join Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy as the only golfers in the modern era to win the sport's grand slam. 'Any doubts about Scottie Scheffler's British Open pedigree were emphatically squashed by the American at Royal Portrush with an effortless four-shot victory," BetMGM senior trader Matt Wall said. "BetMGM immediately shortened his 2026 Masters price to +400 from +500 and that could still shorten further should he continue to dominate on the PGA Tour. The comparisons with Tiger Woods certainly don't look out of place right now. All the early action is on Scottie to win all four majors at +25000, and he is the favorite in each one right now.' Here's a breakdown of the early odds to win golf's majors in 2026: What are the early odds for golf's 2026 major championships?

Patriots honor Ozzy Osbourne following death of rock legend
While the New England Patriots operate in the sports world, the franchise joined the land of heavy metal Tuesday in mourning the loss of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne. Osbourne, the former front man of Black Sabbath and the Godfather of heavy metal, died at the age of 76 on Tuesday. Though he hailed from the UK, Osbourne has had a special connection to New England's football team for the last two decades. For over 20 years, the Patriots have taken the field on game day to Black Sabbath's "Crazy Train." Throughout the franchise's dynastic run, Tom Brady sprinted down the field with the heavy metal hit blaring in the background and fired up fans with one of his patented fist-pumps. It was quite the 1-2 punch to get New Englanders ready and pumped for that day's game. Shortly after news of Osbourne's passing broke Tuesday, the Patriots took to X to post a tribute to the rock legend. "The New England Patriots are saddened to learn of the passing of music legend Ozzy Osbourne, who provided the iconic intro for Patriots games for over 20 years," the team posted. "Condolences to his family and all who mourn his loss." While Osbourne and Black Sabbath never played a concert at Gillette Stadium, he made a special appearance at the home of the Patriots in 2005 when he helped the team raise its 2004 Super Bowl banner with a live pre-game performance of "Crazy Train." The Patriots went out and beat the Oakland Raiders, 30-20, that night to open the 2005 NFL season.
