Trampolining Club reach new heights
The past fortnight has been a busy one for Cardiff University Trampolining Club (CUTC): winning seven medals at the Bristol Open as well as fundraising at the Charity Bounce.
On November 15 the CUTC took to the beds in Talybont for ten hours solid to raise money at their annual Sponsored Bounce. The event saw a continuous flow of bouncers taking their turn to jump on both trampolines for a whole ten hours.

IMG football is stuck in the mud with yet more pitch cancellations
IMG football is currently feeling the effects of the atrocious recent weather, which has led to even more games being cancelled; leaving some teams four games behind schedule in their fixture list.
With the Christmas holidays shortly approaching, some players may think this is yet another chaotic IMG season. However, the AU are adamant that these games will be played.
TOP FIVE... Welsh Players Ever
1. Ryan Giggs: The Welsh wizard has been terrorising defences for over a decade. George Best said that one day people will say that he is just another Ryan Giggs.
2. John Charles: Scored 42 goals in one season for Leeds United, which is still a record. A legend at Juventus and arguably the most successful British player to play abroad.
Robin Morgan gives The Word On... the rise of domestic Welsh football in recent years
As I’m writing this, the 24th and 25th best teams in the English leagues are, in fact, not from England. They are Swansea and Cardiff, which as you should know are from Wales. I hope you’re keeping up.
The rise of these two sides have sparked fierce debate with relation to the possible inclusion of Scottish giants Rangers and Celtic joining the English tiers, but that’s another story for another day.
Amir Khan vs Dmitry Salita: The Editors' predictions
James Hinks: I don’t like Amir Khan, he has a cocky attitude and this makes me happy when he loses. For that reason I’m rooting for Salita to come through. After all, he’s undefeated so far in his professional career and looks to be an extremely solid boxer. Freddy Roach may have turned Khan into a stronger, smarter boxer but I fully expect Salita to steal the belt, and retain his impressive win record. I hope Khan is a Nicolas Cage fan because on Saturday, it’s going to be another case of Gone in 60 Seconds.
Lucy Morgan: Despite his admission that this will be one of the toughest fights of his career, I predict a victory for Amir Khan. He’s bounced back from his shocking defeat to Prescott in 2008 and has been training in the same gym as arguably the world’s best fighter, Manny Pacquiao. Salita may be unbeaten in 31 fights but he will be fighting outside of North America for the first time and doesn’t have any major names on his record. Khan on the other had will be defending his WBA title and will be out to prove his potential.
Previews in brief
Carling Cup quarter-final: Man United vs Spurs
Sir Alex Ferguson will have to watch his side from the stands on Tuesday night as his touchline ban stops him from being in the dug-out during his team’s Carling Cup quarter final match against Harry Redknapp’s in-form Spurs side.
Adam Horne looks ahead to Amir Khan's upcoming WBA title defence against undefeated Dmitry Salita
Amir Khan has come a long way since his 54-second defeat to Breidis Prescott in September of 2008. After beating Andriy Kotelnik in July, he now holds the WBA light-welterwight title. However he will have a massive task ahead of him if he wishes to keep hold of it.
Since taking the title, the undefeated Dmitry Salita has been hot on his tail, and is baying for blood. Salita, nicknamed ‘The Star of David’ due to his Jewish heritage, is seen by many as the No.1 contender for the title. He is also ranked No.1 in the light-welterweight division by the WBA and after 31 professional fights is still undefeated. How, then, has he not already challenged for the title?
