  • 10 months ago
Two people were arrested at a protest outside a hotel in Llanelli over the weekend on suspicion of obstructing police. People have been protesting outside the Stradey Park Hotel against up to 241 asylum seekers being housed in the hotel, amid concerns local amenities can’t cope with the number of people.

Jeremiah Azu set a new Welsh record at the UK athletics championships to become the fastest Welshman ever over 100 metres, breaking Christian Malcom’s record set back in 2001. The 22 year old ran 10 point 08 seconds in the semi finals, but finished 4th in the finals with a 10 point 2-8 run.

Wales came agonisingly close to a famous draw against World Cup champions the USA on Sunday evening in San Jose, California. 2 late goals from Trinity Rodman gave the world number 1 ranked team a deserved victory over a Wales side missing some important names like Jess Fishlock and Sophie Ingle.
