One of Wales' best burger restaurants announce opening date in Cardiff
One of south Wales's most loved burger restaurants is opening a new location in Cardiff. Burger Boyz has announced it will be arriving in the capital on Friday, July 18. It will be located at Cowbridge Road east in the Canton area of the city, within the same unit Ansh once traded. The business was launched by school mates Marcin Sadlos and Jack Phillips back in 2021, who quit their full-time jobs in the engineering industry after finding success pursuing a career in the culinary world, first buying a food truck, before taking over the kitchen at The Red Lion pub in Port Talbot. They went on to secure a spot at Newport Market, before going on to open a restaurant in Port Talbot, and are also based at Albert Hall in Swansea. For the latest restaurant reviews, sign up to our food and drink newsletter here. They also bought a food truck which is used to attend events, called The Truck Norris, named after its best-selling burger the Chuck Norris. The truck has had a presence at Bridgend designer outlet for the last year. Speaking ahead of the opening of their new location, Mr Sadlos said: "It's an exciting time. Cardiff is a site that we've wanted to open for a while now. "We were looking for the right opportunity. "When Ansh decided to close, we got in touch with the landlords and decided to take it over." The restaurant's menu consists of seven different burgers, along with loaded fries and sides, and has gained a great reputation for the quality of its food. We tried it ourselves. You can read about that by clicking here. It has been visited by professional competitive eaters at its Port Talbot restaurant, including Randy Santel, Katina Eats Kilos, Joel Hansen (modelvsfood) and Leah Shutkever. Mr Sadlos added: "We are going to be serving the same menu that people are used to, and we are actually working on developing a little prep kitchen where we can bring in some smoked meats and some more American-style barbecue items. "That will be for down the line and not for opening. "It will be a few months down the line once we have settled." Get Cardiff news updates on your phone by joining our WhatsApp community here.

Dubai Hurricanes crowned champions of West Asia after extraordinary comeback win over Bahrain
Dubai Hurricanes might have thought they had perfected the art of the smash-and-grab raid in stealing the UAE Premiership title from Dubai Exiles a week ago. In fact, that late, single-point comeback win against their neighbours in the domestic final constituted doing it the easy way when set against what was to follow seven days later in the cross-border equivalent. For 13 games and 78 minutes, Bahrain were the best team in regional rugby. Then the Hurricanes broke from their own 22 to score the try that gave them the West Asia Super Rugby title. They could not have timed it more perfectly. Two weekends, two finals and, amazingly, two titles, having led for a combined total of approximately 15 minutes over the course of both games. 'The biggest thing about this team in comparison to any team I have ever worked with is that they do not know when they are done,' Mike Wernham, the Hurricanes director of rugby, said after the 24-21 win. 'They just don't quit. They'd have to be 50 points down and then the ref blows the whistle for them to believe it. They just do not know when they are beaten.' Bahrain were firm favourites ahead of the game, by dint of the fact they won all 12 regular league season matches, as well as the semi-final which followed, against Abu Dhabi Harlequins. The Hurricanes, by contrast, had lost both their regular season games against their final opposition, as well as three others besides. And yet they had showed in their win against the Exiles a week earlier that they have the firepower to threaten anyone. Just as it had done against the Exiles, the form book initially rang true. Bahrain were 11-0 up, via a try for Jack Phillips and two penalties from the boot of Josh Drain. They were cruising, despite the fact Aled Morris, their blindside flanker, had been shown red for a shoulder to the head of a Hurricanes player during a melee on the Canes tryline. Despite being down to 14 men for the majority of the game, the tourists dominated the ball, and the Dubai side only got a foothold in the game thanks to a piece of brilliance from Martin Mangwiro. The tireless back rower made a break through the middle of the pitch to score from 65 metres out after Ruan Steenkamp, the Hurricanes captain, had secured a turnover. It was totally against the run of play, but again proved the Hurricanes are capable of scoring from anywhere. Bahrain edged 14-7 ahead at the start of the second half before the side in yellow shocked them again, this time with Andre Gerber bursting through to score. Bahrain, who were cheered on by a substantial travelling support, moved back into a 21-17 lead with time ticking down when Mackenzie Oliver touched down after a driving maul following a line out. There was enough time left, though, for the Hurricanes to apply the ultimate sucker punch. Again, it was Mangwiro who fashioned the opening, this time from his own 22. He offloaded just before he got to the opposition's 22, and Toby Oakeley was in support to run the ball under the posts. 'I think I can speak for all the boys by saying we could feel the momentum shift last week [in the final against the Exiles],' Mangwiro said. 'We just knew that we had to pull it through right till the very end. Even though we were down in the first half and for a bit of the second half, we knew we had that fight until the end.'
