Cardiff As break in new season with style
Cardiff University Snooker Club’s “A” team (Uni A) started their 09/10 Premier League season strongly, sitting just 3 points off second place after the first round of fixtures.
Uni A shocked last year’s runners up Trecenydd Snooker in their first match, dishing out an impressive 4-1 away win. The match looked to be going astray when former captain Rupert Taylor was beaten in first frame, but from then on it was all about the University side. Ben Chung, David Blake and Layton Brooks all brought their A-game to the table and won three closely contested frames to put Uni A 3-1 ahead. Newly appointed captain Huw Carpenter then grabbed Uni A’s best start to a season in recent years with a superb final black ball winner against his former team.
Cardiff fencers Bath-ing in glory
Cardiff men’s fencing team continued their excellent start to the season with a victory away to Bath on Wednesday.
The visitors led their division with victories against Exeter and Aberystwyth. However Bath represented the team’s toughest challenge yet as Cardiff looked to continue their promotion push. Cardiff received a boost this year with several Welsh internationals and Erasmus students from Europe joining the club, allowing them to field their strongest team in years.
Floodgates open across the Severn
Cardiff entered the game against Bristol with confidence to build on last week’s victory and with a good track record with home games.
This showed as two minutes within kick-off Captain Claire Molloy dashed across the try line and went on to convert the try.
Previews in brief
Pacquiao vs Cotto
Forget David and Goliath, or big mouth and the overgrown bear as I would prefer to call it, the real boxing will be coming from Las Vegas on the 14th, as Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto battle it out for the WBO welterweight championship belt.
Wales vs Scotland: Editors' predictions
Lucy Morgan:
This week I have to be patriotic so I am going for a Welsh victory at the weekend. Scotland may have beaten the Welsh 60 times in their 103 meetings, with Wales winning just 20, but with this being the first international at Cardiff City Stadium, Wales will certainly be motivated to come away with a victory. I get the feeling Aaron Ramsey is going to run the show and make an impact on his home city’s new stadium. It’s bound to be a tight affair, but with the Welsh fans guaranteed to be loud Wales will win 1-0.
James Hinks previews the fierce international friendly between the oldest of Celtic rivals Wales and Scotland
Cardiff City’s new £50m stadium has been chosen to host the Wales vs Scotland friendly. The decision points to a permanent move away from Millennium stadium. The 28,000 seat stadium will hopefully be sold out on November 14th as British football’s oldest rivals battle it out once again.
Cardiff City’s state-of-the-art stadium was picked over Swansea’s Liberty stadium. Both were considered as possible venues, but to Cardiff City fans’ delight, their stadium was deemed a more suitable arena by the Welsh F.A.
Jack Zorab gives his word on one of rugby's season highlights - the autumn Internationals
The approaching autumn Internationals are one of the highlights of the rugby calendar and often provide the highest quality of rugby seen all season.
It’s a fascinating clash of styles too; the SANZAR nations are fast and fluid whilst the home unions compensate for their lack of early-season unity, by tearing into their counter-parts with a bruising attitude. And they don’t mind who they illegally spear, clear or stamp on in order to do it. It all makes for a sensational four weeks of rugby; just expect yellow cards.
Cardiff hammer through to win Mallet Cup
Taffs Well 2nds 19 – 61 Cardiff University 2nds

End of summer sails
As Ratty from Wind in the Willows once said, “there is nothing, absolutely nothing, half so much worth doing than simply messing about in boats”. Wise words indeed, and he certainly knew what he was talking about when it came to aquatic pursuits, being, ironically, a water vole.
His prophetic words have certainly been true of the Cardiff Uni Sailing Club; the first week of the new university year saw the team represent Wales in the historic Universities Four Nations event, held in Bristol. The rapidly assembled team did Wales proud in this legendary event and even though the wind may have been lacking, the team’s enthusiasm and commitment shined on the table football pitch. In the sailing department they exceeded all expectations and just missed out on bronze, finishing fourth.
