What chance have @URCOfficial clubs like, for example @scarlets_rugby, got to build up habit-forming crowds and match day revenue with only four competitive home games left until 2027?

Sunshine and a bit of music to welcome the return, after seven years, of the Lord Mayor of #Swansea's #Boules Tournament, SuperBoule22.

Bravo and brutal... #SwanseaTriathlon

A week to go until the return of the #Swansea #boules extravaganza.

[The Leading Edge Cricket Podcast @LeadingEdgePod]

Most County Championship wickets, 1990–1999 🏏

The 90s had a brilliant mix of county grinders, England names and world-class overseas firepower.

Steve Watkin leads the decade with 594 wickets for Glamorgan - a huge return from a relentlessly consistent seamer who also played Test cricket for England and was central to Glamorgan’s strong 90s side.

Martin Bicknell was pure Surrey class: 549 wickets at 23.64, combining accuracy, seam movement and durability. One of those bowlers county batters must have hated facing week after week.

Then there’s Phil Tufnell, taking 521 wickets with his left-arm spin, while Courtney Walsh is the outrageous one: 504 wickets at 19.24 from only 96 matches, with 37 five-wicket hauls. Genuine West Indies greatness dropped into the County Championship.

Andy Caddick also stands out - 486 wickets, 34 five-wicket hauls, and a strike rate of 45.83.

A proper 90s list: seamers everywhere, elite overseas quality, and Tufnell spinning his way into the top three.

We thought we’d share with you some of the GWF team’s favourite walks. Tycoch to Mumbles is a walk much loved by Chris Peregrine, a committee member of Gower Walking Festival and has been for three years. See why here!

The soul of #cricket perfectly portrayed...

[WG RumblePants @WG_RumblePants]

Ensconced in this peaceful grassy bowl,
undisturbed by the cares of modern life,
where clamorous din yields to birdsong
and the rustle of leaves,
and the only man-made sound
is the brief crack of leather on willow.

My thoughts drift, then settle, then drift again
as I wait for the next ball to be bowled.
I find again the bowler’s steady rhythm,
the clean arc of the ball through still air
as it runs its course toward the waiting bat.

No run.

The game resumes its patient order.
I sit in quiet attention.
The birds continue. The leaves move.
The wind does not hurry, and neither does the game.

[chris peregrine @Perers71]

A lovely tribute to a one-off...

It's been a long seven years, but #boules is back in #Swansea, the 22nd edition of the Lord Mayor's charity tournament.

[WG RumblePants @WG_RumblePants]

There’s something about cricket that gets deeper the older you get.

The long days, the familiar faces, the quiet moments between the noise.

Whole summers end up tied to certain grounds, certain innings, certain people.

It’s never really just been a sport.

[Gower Walking Festival @GowerWalking]

We are thrilled to have The Gower Society back as a Gold sponsor of The Gower Walking Festival for the 10th year running!

He has been an externally unrecognised gem for a few years, with many strings to his bow.

A double ton, an innings win at Hampshire, and now the Rothesay County Championship Player of the Round. What a week for Kiran! 👏👏

Oh for a return to those days... everyone accepts that #pubs are under pressure these days, but how about some imagination? If a pint was nearer a fiver - or even less - than £6 or above, people may not just have one and move on somewhere else. Speculate to accumulate. 🍺...🍻🍻
