Cwmbran Celtic earn 3-1 league win over Caldicot Town
The Crows came into their opening home match of the season full of optimism following a 6-1 win at Abertillery Bluebirds the previous Saturday afternoon. The hosts broke the deadlock after 27 minutes when Aysa Al-Doori's 20-yard free kick thundered back off the crossbar before Jason Henley pounced to force the loose ball past Caldicot Town goalkeeper Matthew Sandiford from close range. Cwmbran Town doubled their advantage four minutes after the interval when Josh Brown fired home from the edge of the penalty area after Caldicot Town were unable to clear the ball following an attack by the Crows. The score was extended further in the 89th minute when substitute Rhys Tandy pounced on a mistake in the visitors' rear guard before sliding the ball past Sandiford. The Jubilee Way club netted a consolation goal in stoppage-time when Cole Greenhaf lobbed Callum Brain in the home goal, but it was too late to make any difference to the final result as the Crows maintained their 100% start to the new campaign. Cwmbran Town built on the result by overcoming South Wales Premier League newcomers Heolgerrig Red Lion 6-0 in the JD Welsh Cup first qualifying round on Saturday afternoon. Caldicot Town bounced back in style from the league reverse to thrash Gwent Premier League hosts Albion Rovers 11-0 to progress in the cup.

Umar Nurmagomedov's coach excited to rematch a 'better' Merab Dvalishvili when time comes
ABU DHABI – Javier Mendez looks forward to game planning for an even more improved Merab Dvalishvili if Umar Nurmagomedov can rebound. Nurmagomedov (18-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) fell short in his title fight against bantamweight champion Dvalishvili (20-4 MMA, 13-2 UFC) at UFC 311 in January. After he revealed he broke his hand early in a fight where he won the first two rounds on two of the three judges' scorecards. During Wednesday's UFC on ABC 9 media day, Petr Yan said Nurmagomedov turned down a fight for the UFC on ABC 8 headliner in Baku, Azerbaijan this past June. Mendez addressed that claim, and gave an update on Nurmagomedov, who's manager Ali Abdelaziz teased has fight news soon. "I was told about that potential matchup, we didn't care who Umar was going to fight," Mendez told MMA Junkie. "We just know we needed a tough guy for us to potentially be back in the picture, but his hand wasn't healed enough to be cleared to go that early. So, we're expecting Umar to be fighting very soon and before the end of the year. I'm preparing to go to camp at the end of this month with Usman (Nurmagomedov). "Usman is defending his title at Coca Cola Arena here against an opponent to be named. I don't know who it is, but I'm sure it's going to be somebody really good. ... Within that training camp, it'll be Umar and Islam (Makhachev), and all the other guys will be in there too. I'll be with all the boys starting August, I'll be in Dagestan in Khabib (Nurmagomedov)'s new gym up in the mountains." Mendez has been super impressed with the improvement shown by Dvalishvili, who notched his second title defense when he submitted Sean O'Malley at UFC 316. "It was a great fight, it was super, super close," Mendez said on Dvalishvili vs. Nurmagomedov. "Unfortunately, things didn't end up going our way, and Merab did a fantastic job. Since then, Merab has gone on to do an unbelievable job. He's gotten better, and I love that. "I love that he's gotten better because if we get another opportunity, we got to get by whoever they give us next. But if we get another opportunity at Merab, I want a better Merab. I don't want an old Merab, I want a better Merab, and that's what we're getting. We're getting a better Merab. Last fight was so, so impressive. I'm looking forward to that challenge if we can get by our next opponent." Mendez broke down what he tactically thinks Nurmagomedov did wrong in his first-career defeat to Dvalishvili. "A big mistake was not telling Khabib and I that he broke his hand because we would have changed the game plan completely," Mendez said. "I keep going back thinking, and I go, God dammit, why didn't I ask him, 'Why did you go in for the takedown?' Because Merab was super strong. Why would you try to go for a takedown when that was not a good idea? "He wasn't in a weak position, but he went in to shoot for a takedown. It hit me. Why – and I still to this day haven't spoken to Umar – was it that when you broke your hand? I'm not sure. The hand broke, but it is what it is. Fighters break hands, they break toes, and they fight and they win."

Trinity Rodman wants Wimbledon announcers to stop talking about her dad
U.S. soccer star Trinity Rodman is at Wimbledon. Her father is not. But that hasn't stopped his name — Dennis Rodman — from coming up during coverage of the prestigious tennis tournament, which she has been attending in support of her boyfriend, Ben Shelton. On Monday, after Shelton defeated Italy's Lorenzo Sonego 3-6, 6-1, 7-6 (1), 7-5 to advance to the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the first time, Rodman took to her Instagram Story to express her frustration about the matter. 'For Ben's matches he has his family there as his support system, which includes his dad,' wrote Rodman, who is often shown on the broadcast sitting in the stands with Shelton's parents and his sister, Emma. 'my dads not even in MY life no need to bring him up during HIS matches when I don't even want him talked about during mine. It's him and his loved ones' moment. Thank you.' Named the NWSL rookie of the year in 2021, Rodman helped the Washington Spirit win its first league championship the same season. She also has made a name for herself with the U.S. women's national team, scoring three goals during the squad's run to Olympic gold last year in Paris. Rodman has made no secret of the fact that her father — a five-time NBA champion and basketball Hall of Famer — has not been a constant presence in her life. She spoke before the Olympics about his pattern of showing up occasionally — as he did for a 2021 NWSL playoff game — and then disappearing once again from her everyday life. 'Like I've said before, I've gotten closure with it all,' Rodman said at the time. 'I know he's proud of me. I truly do. He has his own things to deal with, but at the end of the day, he's communicated to me that he knows I was going to be here, and that's all I need.' In December, Rodman spoke more about her complicated relationship with her father and the 'anger' she often feels toward him. 'He's not a dad,' Rodman said. 'Maybe by blood but nothing else.'
