  • Republic of Ireland Women vs Wales Women: Nerves, emotion and a match in the balance

    Dec 3, 2024 | skysports.com | Geraint Hughes

    In terms of drama and building an occasion, two sides level after a cagey draw in the first leg, it couldn’t be better. Last Friday’s draw was a game not to lose, so neither side really pressed to win in the end. Both Ireland and Wales to a degree have acknowledged that Friday's game is nothing but history - it's gone and effectively, we have a straight knockout game ahead us in Dublin.

    Nov 28, 2024 | skysports.com | Geraint Hughes

    It feels like a moment, like a match never before. Wales are on the verge of qualifying for a major tournament for the very first time, while the Republic of Ireland - who qualified for the last World Cup - are aiming to get to a Euros for the first time. The prize for the winner: a place at Euro 2025. Pretty special. So a straight fight over two legs. Yes, Wales and the Republic of Ireland have been here before - not long ago, in fact.

    Conor Benn has moved another step closer to fighting again on British soil after UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) and the British Board of Boxing Control (BBBoC) elected not to appeal his suspension being lifted. Benn was originally under a provisional suspension after failing two voluntary drug tests ahead of a scheduled fight with Chris Eubank Jr in October 2022, which was cancelled after he tested positive for banned substance clomifene.

  • Wales reporter notebook: Nations League promotion just the beginning for Craig Bellamy - World Cup 2026 qualification the ultimate goal

    Nov 20, 2024 | skysports.com | Geraint Hughes

    How best can you judge a new manager, a new way of playing, a new identity after half a dozen matches? If you listen to Craig Bellamy he has broken it down to a very simple answer. He and his coaches can do all the work they like away from any match, but the cold hard fact is that football is about results. Bellamy wants to win. He says that a lot, he has been consistent about it though. He has plans, a vision of how that might happen, but winning is everything. Just win.

  • Wales reporter notebook: Winning is everything to Craig Bellamy's new-look side

    Nov 18, 2024 | skysports.com | Geraint Hughes

    Losing - or even a draw - isn't really an option for Wales. It sounds demanding to make such a claim but even after just five games of the Craig Bellamy era, a set of standards have been clearly defined and reached, writes Sky Sports News senior reporter Geraint Hughes. So why settle for less? So far under Bellamy, his short-term vision of striking an identity for his team is evident, and continuing a natural evolution.
