    Re: Flag football

    I think they should have the Autumn Olympics with conkers. Flag football is a more moronic version of American football without the army of players on the touch lines walking around doing nothing!

      Hi CN,

      Been playing hockey myself for years (in London, at a low amateur level). If you're in Cardiff then you're somewhat in luck, as Cardiff & Met play in the Hockey Premier League which is the top level.
      Cardiff & Met is the premier hockey club in wales. Based in Cardiff at the national sports centre for wales, we have 7 mens teams and 4 ladies teams. The mens teams compete in various leagues in south wales with our first team comteling at the elite national league. our ladies teams compete at the top level in south wales and cater for all abilitles. Our newly formed Youth section caters for all ages. we always welcome new members of all abilitles


      I didn't know this myself but the National Hockey Centre for Wales is in Sophia Gardens. From what I can see the Men's 1s play their home games there.

      For Wales, check out https://www.hockeywales.org.uk/
      They play at Sophia Gardens, in fact there seemed to have been a few games last week for both the Men's and Women's teams.

      As an aside...loved the skateboarding and the BMX stuff too. Incredible what they can do...and amazing that the young kids just pick themselves up straight away when they fall; I'd be straight off to A&E to get checked over!

      The speed climbing you could see becoming a cult hit. Squash should be good for 2028...about time that was in the Olympics.
      Oh yeah. I forgot about the Kayak Cross (?)...that was brutal and great fun to watch. I hope that comes to Cardiff as I used to go and watch the canoing when I lived closer to it and was able to cycle there at the time.

            lots of Welsh football fans are dead against it - there's a rumour flying around that FIFA will use it as an excuse to get rid of the separate nations and to play as GB in every tournament.
            I don't think this is likely at all, there is no benefit for FIFA or uefa to make us do this, we have separate leagues and a long standing history of different nations.

            the thing that FIFA would like to change however is the IFAB - who determine the laws of the game.
            the people on the board of that body always include one from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and FIFA

            FIFA gets 4 votes and England Wales Scotland and NI get a vote each, with 6 votes minimum required to make a change.

            it seems ridiculous that Wales has such a large say in the rules of the game. we are minnows and always have been

              She "learned" her moves by reading up on it. No difference between theory and practice, is there?
