LEON BRITTON: GROWING UP WITH SWANSEA CITY

For some footballers, the love of a particular club or city is like a magnet they you cannot detract from, and there isn’t a finer example of this than Swansea City and Leon Britton.

In January, the affable 28-year-old midfielder completed a sensational return to Swansea following an ill-fated spell at Championship rivals Sheffield United.

SQUASH TEAMS LOOKING FOR REVENGE IN CARDIFF

THE approach of the 2011 Welsh Varsity offers the perfect opportunity to review the seasons of many sports at Swansea University and squash is no exception. It is one of around 20 sports being contested by the universities of Cardiff and Swansea on Wednesday and with team captains Ceris Challenger and Rob Watson preparing their respective men’s and women’s team for the big day, I was able to gain some insight into how things have gone this season for both teams, and how they assess their chances against Cardiff.

Swansea have brushed aside all opposition this season with successive 8-0 demolition jobs on court, and have proven their credentials not just as a side worthy of promotion to Division One, but richly deserving of Premier League status.

What’s Hot, What’s Not

 

HOT - The Soccer Saturday boys are loving the amount of goals flying in; left, right and centre. This is the time of year the Premier league really hots up and the banter flies around the studio like it’s The Waterfront office

MEDIUM - Take Me Outhas enjoyed a very successful run on primetime Saturday nights, bringing back the dating show for the first time since Blind Date. With Paddy McGuinness stealing the show with terrible lines and catchphrases... No Likey, No Lighty.
