Powys ace McPhee shines for Wales at cricket championship
DYLAN McPhee has shared his pride after helping Wales to a second place finish at the International Masters Cricket Championship. Also known as the Triple Crown of Cricket, the tournament was held in the shadow of the William Wallace statue in Stirling and featured some of the best over 40s players in the world. The Builth Wells allrounder was joined in the Welsh squad by former Llanidloes bowler Simon Jones who now plays his cricket for Shropshire Premier League club Shelton. Wales had a tough start to the tournament with defeat against the English but tasted success in their next two games against Scotland and Ireland. England proved too strong with Wales defeated by eight wickets with 28 overs to spare. McPhee revived Wales' tournament in their second match. Wales were chasing just 141 against Scotland when they were reduced to 113-8. Up stepped McPhee to hit the winning runs as Wales edged a tense one wicket win. Wales signed off the tournament with an emphatic seven wicket win over Ireland who were defending 180 before Wales replied with 183-8. McPhee said: 'I bowled very well all week but had great opening spell against Ireland with 9-3-18-3. 'To finish second was very pleasing and a great effort as Scotland and Ireland are strong. 'England are extremely good and a very strong team but another great experience shared with other teams and family.'

Kate Moss, 51, looks incredible as she strips off to a bikini and uses £35K designer bag as a beach bag
KATE Moss looked sensational as she stripped to a bikini and accessorised with a £35,000 designer bag on the beach. The supermodel, 51, opted for neutral-coloured swimwear but covered up with a white blouse as she hit the beach in Spain.

While the supermodel's swimwear gave a glimpse at her toned figure, passers-by were more bemused by the presence of her brown Hermes Birkin accessory slung over her arm. The coveted designer bag took pride of place on her left arm, with Kate leaving the clasp open for easy access to her beach essentials. She was seen making her way away from the crystal-clear see waters up to a more hilly part of the beach in Formentera. Advertisement Kate was on holiday with look-a-like daughter Lila, who has followed in her modelling footsteps. Later in the day, they were spotted taking a trip on a private boat. Just last week, during a recent trip to Ibiza, Kate was seen covering her boobs as she swam topless. Kate has been modelling since she was 14, and she is proving she's still at the top of her game. Advertisement Recently, away from her vacations, she posed in just stockings and a bra for a steamy Saint Laurent ad. PARTY GIRL Recently, pals of the supermodel expressed their worries she had reverted back to her drinking, party girl heyday. Kate Moss fans stunned as supermodel 'spotted at BBC Radio One's Big Weekend' - but all is not what it seems They told how she appears to be back on the party circuit and said at July's BST gig: "Kate was having it large at Hyde Park and was knocking back cans of Peroni. 'She was hanging out in Van Morrison's private backstage area, before watching him from the side of the stage — before she went back to the bar for another drink. Advertisement 'When she watched Neil Young, she flitted between the audience and the suites to keep the beers flowing. 'Kate sank a fair few drinks with her friends and quietly slipped away before Neil finished his set. 'The whole time she was laughing and giggling. 'Kate was quite literally the life and soul of the party. And there wasn't a crystal in sight.' Advertisement Back in 2020, one of her closest pals, DJ Fat Tony, said she had been sober for two years. And as she launched her former wellness brand Cosmoss, Kate unveiled a rebranded version of herself to fans. It was Kate's return to her party lifestyle, pals claim, that influenced the break-up with her teetotal boyfriend of nine years, British photographer Nikolai Von Bismarck. In December, friends told us that the pair were going on 'different journeys'. Advertisement One pal revealed: 'Kate feels fabulous and she wants to get back out there and have some fun.' 6 Kate flashed her figure in her swimwear Credit: BackGrid 6 She is on holiday with look-a-like daughter Lila Credit: Getty 6 Pals claim Kate is back to her party girl ways Credit: Getty

Kate Waugh out to be best of Brits at T100 London triathlon
The 26-year-old from Gateshead laid down a marker with the biggest ever margin of victory on her debut at the distance in Singapore. She has now settled comfortably into the T100 level, having prioritised a fresh feeling after making her Games debut in Paris. 'It was really important for me to try something new,' Waugh said. 'I think a lot of people post-Olympics feel a bit burnt out because it is a lot. 'It is a race that comes around every four years, and there is a lot that goes into it, emotionally, mentally, physically. 'After my off-season, I asked my manager whether he thought I could get a T100 contract, and when one came through, I just really wanted to take that opportunity and jump on the T100 train. 'I have been watching it for a few years now and really admire the women in particular who race the T100, I just see them as such strong athletes, so I really wanted to get involved with it. It has been really positive and really refreshing to try something new.' T100 sees athletes complete a 2km swim, 80km bike and 18k run, with London the fourth stop on a nine-leg tour around the world. Waugh currently sits third in the standings as she followed up her win in Asia with third place in San Francisco. She believes she has experienced two very different races, with Singapore going perfectly while having to grind out a result in California. In London, she leads a British pack of nine women set to compete, with three-time Olympic medallist Georgia Taylor-Brown making her debut at the distance. No Brit has yet topped the podium in the capital, with Kat Matthews coming closest as she finished third in 2024. Waugh added: 'There are so many of us who are super strong over that distance. 'It is pretty cool that we have such a strong contingent from Great Britain, obviously, I want to be the first one across the line. 'I hope the couple of races that I have done can give me that upper hand over newbies, like Georgia, at this distance. 'I would imagine she is going to be really strong as well. She is a very well-rounded athlete. 'And then there is Lucy Charles-Barclay, Lucy Byram, and India Lee, who are all really strong athletes, so I am sure everyone is pretty motivated to compete well, which hopefully makes for a really exciting race.'
