Llanfair United celebrate Central Wales Cup triumph
Llanfair United lifted the Central Wales Women's Cup for only the second time in their history following a 3-0 win over Berriew in Welshpool on Thursday night.
Jodie Carswell dragged wide before United opened the scoring when Emma Williams latched on to a through ball and maintained her composure to finish past Berriew goalkeeper Sarah Parkes.
Parkes denied Sophie Cook before the North East Wales League champions-elect upped their game with ex-United favourite Gemma Jones testing goalkeeper Ffion Davies.

Parkes was fortunate to avoid a red card after bringing down Williams outside of the penalty area in the 36th minute and the Berriew No1 was soon called upon to tip away Mary Bailey's goalbound headed effort.
Llanfair ended the first-half on top with Paris Schofield and Cook going close.
It was a similar story at the start of the second-half with Williams firing wide before Llanfair doubled their lead from the penalty spot with Schofield converting.
Jones was denied by Davies while Harriet Davies blasted over at the other end as Llanfair sought to put the game to bed.
The Mount Field club completed the scoring with 15 minutes remaining when substitute Becky Jones raced into the penalty area before lifting the ball over Parkes.
Llanfair could have added to their tally with player-manager Lucie Gwilt heading wide before Williams and Jones was denied by ex-TNS custodian Parkes.

Barring any eleventh hour hiccups he'll be paraded in the next 24 hours. We were first to break the news on February 23 that the ex-Southampton boss was in the frame to replace Philippe Clement. Now - after a series of talks with the club's new hierarchy - he's now been told the job is his. Italian coach Davide Ancelotti was interviewed along with a number of others including Steven Gerrard. But Martin has convinced new Gers chairman Andrew Cavenagh he's the man to lead the club's revival. Cavenagh became involved in the process after 49ers Enterprises advisor Gretar Steinsson and Sporting Director Kevin Thelwell did the initial groundwork. It became a battle between Martin and Ancelotti with many Gers supporters hoping the Italian would be named. But the bold decision has been made to give the former Scotland defender his next chance in management. Martin knows the club having had a short loan stint with Gers in 2018. Southampton manager bust up But it's his ambitious vision for the future and clear football philosophy that made him a candidate from the outset. The appointment is now expected to be confirmed before the weekend. Martin will be able to name his own backroom staff with longterm No1 Matty Gill set to join him.

Jack Grealish next club odds after Man City star axed from Club World Cup squad
Jack Grealish faces an increasingly uncertain future at Manchester City, with the Englishman expected to be left out of Pep Guardiola's squad for the Club World Cup. Grealish played a limited role for City towards the end of the season and was left out of the matchday squad for the final game of the season versus Fulham. The 29-year-old started just one league game in 2025, with Guardiola conceding the winger could move on in the summer. 'Of course, Jack has to play,' Guardiola said in May. 'He's an unbelievable player that has to play football every three days. 'It didn't happen this season and last season either. He needs to do it – with us or another place. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link we'll send you so we can get football news tailored to you. 'It's a question for Jack, his agent, and the club. If he stays it will be fine and he fought like he fought from day one to make a contribution.' With several clubs circling ahead of the transfer window, the Telegraph reports that Grealish will not be in City's squad for the Club World Cup in what is perhaps the clearest indication yet that his future lies away from the Etihad. The decision is said to have been made to allow Grealish the best opportunity to find a new club ahead of next season. Securing a transfer away from Manchester may prove difficult given his £300,000-a-week wages, and an initial loan deal could well be on the cards. Perhaps hoping to take advantage of that loan opportunity could be Everton, who have been installed as the bookies favourites to sign Grealish. The Toffees enjoyed a resurgent second half of the season under David Moyes and will look to kick on next campaign as they move into their new stadium. Antonio Conte's side could be in the market for a new left-sided attacker after selling Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to PSG in January and Italy has proven a great place for ex-Premier League stars to find another lease of life. Everton – 7/2 Tottenham – 4/1 Napoli – 9/2 Newcastle 5/1 Aston Villa – 6/1 AC Milan – 13/2 Any Saudi Pro League club – 16/1 Nottingham Forest – 16/1 Odds courtesy of Bet365 (subject to change) Grealish need only look at how Scott McTominay has blossomed since joining Napoli from Manchester United last summer, with the Scotland midfielder recently named Serie A MVP. Tottenham and Newcastle have also been touted as favourites to make a move for Grealish as both sides look to fill out their squads ahead of a return to the Champions League. More Trending And a return to Aston Villa could also be on the cards, with Grealish's former club priced at 6/1 to make a swoop for their former star. Wherever he may end up, Alan Shearer believes it is imperative that Grealish departs the Etihad as soon as possible, saying after the FA Cup final: 'His time is up at Man City. He has to leave. 'For Pep Guardiola to bring on a debutant, a young boy, and [Ilkay] Gundogan rather than Jack Grealish when Man City are desperate for a goal… his time is up. 'He's done at Man City, he has to leave. For whatever reason Pep is done with him, he doesn't like him. His time is up, it really is.' For more stories like this, check our sport page.
