Peter Nicholas joins Neath

Former Llanelli Reds Manager Peter Nicholas has joined the coaching staff at Neath Athletic. Peter will assist current manager Andy Dyer in the quest to halt a recent run of poor results.
Meanwhile, Reds striker Craig Moses has been selected for the Wales Semi Professional Squad to play in Portugal next month.
Reds players,Craig Jones, Jordan Follows and Ryan Batley are on standby.
Manager Terry Boyle has named two new faces in his International Challenge Trophy squad for the away game in Portugal.
TNS striker Alex Darlington is rewarded for a fine run of form in the Principality Welsh Premier and former TNS academy product Rob Williams also links up with the squad, having impressed with Conference club Altrincham this year. The 6'5" defender was released by the Saints at the end of last season, after limited opportunities at Park Hall, which included two loan spells at Caersws and Newtown.
Lee Surman returns to the squad after injury kept him out of November's international and Bangor'€™s Michael Johnston and Dorchester'€™s Kyle Critchell also return to the fold. Barrow's Michael Pearson, who was also named in the original squad for the last match, will again have the chance to make his debut, after he was a late withdrawal last time out. Airbus full-back Ryan Edwards and Neath defender Sean Cronin both miss out through suspension. There are fourteen players from the League in the 18-man squad.
Wales led 2-0 in their opening group fixture against Northern Ireland last November in Portadown, but drew the game 2-2. This second group fixture will be played in the Municipal Stadium of Fátima, on Wednesday 3rd March 2010 at 3:00pm

Former Gower MP Gareth Wardell the guest speaker at Llanelli Rotary Club

Image
Former Gower MP Gareth Wardell was the guest speaker at the weekly meeting of Llanelli Rotary Club held at the Stradey Park Hotel. Mr Wardell gave an illuminating address, weaving comparisons between his job as a politician and his late father's job as a Tumble barber. It was an amusing, highly-entertaining and thought-provoking address. Mr Wardell, now 69, won the Gower constituency seat in a Parliamentary by-election in 1982. The Labour MP held the seat until his retirement in 1997. He now works as a public affairs consultant in Wales. Mr Wardell's Parliamentary term was largely in opposition to Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Government. But his did make a significant contribution by being the youngest MP to chair the Welsh Affairs Select Committee. Mr Wardell recognised that in the 'fame stakes' he may have played second fiddle to his father, Jack, who was one of the UK's oldest barbers and who cut and styled hair for almost 80 years. Jac

Ammanford-based Lauryn Davey is making a major mark in the world of Welsh athletics. At just 16, she is the best all-round athlete of her age in Wales. She's chalking up Welsh championship victories and has been honoured by her club, the Carmarthen Harriers. Lauryn's been earmarked as a future international star, but knows the road to the big championships is difficult, demanding and expensive.
