Cwmamman United claim vital 3-0 win in promotion push
As the game kicked off on a calm Tuesday evening, the weather took a dramatic turn, with the second half being played in a constant downpour.
Despite the weather challenges, Cwmamman United started with strong intent, creating several chances within the first 10 minutes.
Their efforts paid off in the 27th minute when Taylor Smith broke away and scored the opening goal.
Five minutes later, Smith doubled the lead with another powerful strike, leaving Seaside's goalkeeper, Dion Davies, helpless.
Seaside tried to find a way back into the game, but Cwmamman's defence, led by James Gorman and Charlie Davies, remained solid.
Goalkeeper Kane Draper had little to worry about as Seaside's attempts were mostly long-range shots, which he managed with ease.
Despite the heavy rain affecting the quality of play in the second half, Cwmamman United remained dominant.
The third and final goal came in the 67th minute, courtesy of top scorer Elliot Smith.
The forward broke away, rounded the keeper, and netted his 29th league goal of the season, sealing the victory for Cwmamman United.
On Saturday, April 26, at 3pm, they will travel to Gorseinon to face league champions Rockspur FC in the final game of the season, hoping to secure promotion to the Ardal South West League.

Tyler Smith says Cowboys Super Bowl win is an 'expectation'
"Super Bowl champions," Smith replied, per ESPN's Todd Archer. "That's always the expectation." Smith insisted the Cowboys winning a championship for the first time since Super Bowl 30 - which was played in 1996 to put a bow on the 1995 NFL season - is "a realistic goal." Why? "Because we can win a Super Bowl. Why not? Why can't we win?" he said. "Do you think it's unrealistic?" To Smith's point, the Cowboys made the playoffs in three consecutive seasons before their 7-10 finish last season. They failed to advance past the divisional round in any of those appearances but posted a 12-5 regular-season record each campaign. T.J. WATT CONTRACT: Why Micah Parsons is winner after Steelers star signs Meanwhile, Dallas' 2024 season was derailed by a midseason five-game losing streak, during which starting quarterback Dak Prescott suffered a season-ending hamstring injury. Prescott said ahead of training camp he is fully recovered from that injury. His presence should provide the Cowboys with more stability at quarterback after they leaned on Cooper Rush and Trey Lance to close the 2024 campaign. Smith also believes the additions of wide receiver George Pickens and first-round guard Tyler Booker will bolster an already strong Dallas offense. "I think we built a great core on offense; the addition of George and all the other key pieces," Smith said. "I think drafting Booker, he's going to be a hell of a guy just to bolster the front line. And we have many guys across the board, but those are some of the guys who are the key pieces on what we do this year."

Will Smith's two homers spark Dodgers' win over Twins
July 22 - Will Smith hit two home runs, Shohei Ohtani and Andy Pages also went deep and the Los Angeles Dodgers ended a six-game home losing streak with a 5-2 victory over the visiting Minnesota Twins on Monday. Ohtani pitched the first three innings, allowing one run in his sixth start of the season since returning from 2023 Tommy John revision surgery. The right-hander gave up four hits, walked one and struck out three, and he now has a 1.50 ERA. Right-hander Dustin May (6-6) followed Ohtani and recorded four strikeouts over 4 2/3 scoreless innings. The Dodgers won at home for the first time since July 3 to end their longest skid in Los Angeles since a nine-game drought in 2017. Byron Buxton led off the game with a home run, but the Twins fell to 1-3 on their six-game road trip. Royce Lewis, a native of Southern California, had three hits to give him five over the past two games. It was his second three-hit game of the season. Carlos Correa flied out to the center field wall as the tying run in the ninth. Dodgers reliever Kirby Yates got the last two outs for his third save. Minnesota right-hander David Festa (3-4) gave up four runs on four hits over 5 1/3 innings with one walk and five strikeouts. Buxton wasted no time getting the Twins on the scoreboard when he hit a home run to left field on Ohtani's second pitch. It was Buxton's 23rd of the season. The Dodgers answered in the opening inning as Mookie Betts led off with a walk and Ohtani homered to center for a 2-1 lead. It was Ohtani's 35th of the season and third in three games. Smith hit his first home run of the night in the fourth inning and added another in the sixth for a 4-1 lead. The pair of homers gave him 14 on the season. Pages connected in the seventh inning for a 5-1 advantage, his 18th of the season and first since July 2. The Twins put two on with one out in the ninth against Dodgers closer Tanner Scott, who then departed due to an undisclosed injury. Yates entered and walked Ryan Jeffers to load the bases before Kody Clemens' sacrifice fly to center cut the deficit to three. Yates then retired Correa to seal the win. --Field Level Media

Charlie Dobson shocks Matt Hudson-Smith to win 400m in London
Dobson won the Diamond League final last year and while all eyes were on Olympic silver medallist Hudson-Smith, it was Dobson who swooped through to claim the win in a new personal best time of 44.14 seconds. He said: 'I really enjoyed that one. I kind of set the race up slightly different to how I'd done previously. I got to 200 a couple of tenths faster than I would normally, I hope, obviously I haven't seen the splits yet. 'I just got to the last straight and I felt really good. I thought I'd give it everything. I thought I'd catch a few of them, I didn't think I'd catch all of them.' CHARLIE DOBSON!!!! 🔥🔥 He comes out of nowhere to win the #LondonDL 400m with a PB (44.14), beating fellow Brit Matt Hudson-Smith who finishes 2nd 💨 WHAT A RACE 👏#DiamondLeague @_Novuna @charliedobson99 — British Athletics (@BritAthletics) July 19, 2025 Asked if Hudson-Smith had any words at the finish, Dobson added: 'He just laughed at me. I couldn't really say much either, to be honest. I was surprised. I'll chat to him after. He's an amazing competitor. 'I love being able to race against him and I'll be honest, I love beating him.' Josh Kerr was another expected to be among the winners but, although he ran a season's best of 3.29.37, Kenya's Phanuel Koech had the measure of the reigning world champion. Georgia Hunter-Bell produced a decisive finishing kick in the women's 800m, running a season's best of 1.56.74 to beat America's Addison Wiley, while Jemma Reekie (sixth) and Laura Muir (10th) were down the field. Morgan Lake claimed victory in the women's high jump with a leap of 1.96m but there was disappointment for Molly Caudery in the women's pole vault as the 2024 world indoor champion cleared 4.60m, some way short of even her season's best of 4.85m, to place fifth. Double trouble ✌️ It's second and third for @dinaashersmith and @amyghunt in the 200m 😍 And a brilliant personal best of 22.31s for Hunt 👏#LondonDL #DiamondLeague @_Novuna — British Athletics (@BritAthletics) July 19, 2025 Dina Asher-Smith posted her best time this year in the women's 200m, running 22.25 behind Julien Alfred, with team-mate Amy Hunt third in a new PB of 22.31. The first British quartet of Asher-Smith, Hunt, Desiree Henry and Daryll Neita came out on top in their women's 4x100m relay, running 41.69 seconds to beat second-placed Jamaica, with the second GB entry coming home sixth. The first men's GB team of Jeremiah Azu, Louie Hinchcliffe, Romell Glave and Zharnel Hughes ran 38.08 to finish second to a dominant Jamaican team in the men's 4x100m relay, with the second British quartet taking third. National 400m finals yielded victories for Lewis Davey (44.91) and Victoria Ohuruogu (51.22), with Seamus Derbyshire (48.82) winning a domestic men's 400m hurdle final. Lawrence Okoye had to settle for third in the men's discus with a throw of 67.24m behind Mykolas Alekna's meeting record of 71.70m, while the Netherlands' Femke Bol delivered a comprehensive victory in the women's 400m hurdles, as Britain's Lina Nielsen finished sixth. Noah Lyles was defeated in first 100m since winning gold in Paris last year, running 10 seconds flat as Jamica's Oblique Seville powered home in a time of 9.86. Kenya's Emmanuel Wanyonyi set a new meeting record of 1.42 in the men's 800m, with Britain's Max Burgin taking third with a new personal best of 1.42.36 in a race that had been billed as a world-record attempt.
