The Glen, Haverfordwest, celebrates remarkable achievement

The Glen in Haverfordwest has raised £1,234 for the Wales Air Ambulance Service.
The venue has now raised a total of £5,000 for the charity, which relies on public donations to raise the £11.2 million required every year to keep its helicopters in the air and rapid response vehicles on the road.
The Glen held a fundraising evening with Welsh international prop Rob Evans and British and Irish Lions hooker Ken Owens.
Around 55 people attended the event, which included a charity auction for a grand slam rugby jersey.
Landlord Tom Slater, who plays for Narberth RFC, said: "It was a really good evening and everyone enjoyed.
"The players talked about their careers, and we held an auction.
"I'd like to thank everyone for supporting our Wales Air Ambulance fundraising events.
"I just do my best to help out and raise funds for the charity.
"I live on a farm and we're very rural and you never know if you, or someone you know, will need the Wales Air Ambulance's help.
"It's an essential service and I know people whose lives have been saved by the Wales Air Ambulance."
The Glen also held an Easter hamper raffle which raised £200 for the charity.
Mike May, west Wales regional fundraising manager for Wales Air Ambulance, said: "We are always touched when people or businesses continue to raise funds for our charity.
"The Glen has supported the Wales Air Ambulance for many years, this year they raised an incredible £1,234 which will help us to meet our yearly fundraising target of £11.2 million.
"In total they've raised £5,000 which is amazing.
"We really appreciate the effort those at The Glen put into making their fundraising a huge success.
"I was delighted to meet Tom and hear about their support of our charity.
"Thank you so much everyone.
"Fundraisers, like these ones, will help us continue to be there for the people of Wales 24/7."
The Wales Air Ambulance is consultant-led, taking hospital-standard treatments to the patient and if required, transferring them directly to the most appropriate hospital for their illness or injury.
It is delivered via a unique third sector and public sector partnership.
The Emergency Medical Retrieval and Transfer Service (EMRTS) supplies highly skilled NHS consultants and critical care practitioners who work on board the charity's vehicles.
This advanced critical care includes the ability to administer anaesthesia, deliver blood transfusions and conduct minor operations, all at the scene of an incident.

Emma Raducanu keen to explore doubles partnership with Katie Boulter

The duo, who have been bestowed the portmanteau 'Boultercanu', earlier this week described the 'spontaneous' nature of their decision to pair up ahead of this tournament. After booking their place with a straight-sets opening victory over Wu Fang-Hsien and Jiang Xinyu on Monday, they faced a much tougher test in the top-seeded doubles pair. Emma Raducanu is keen to explore her doubles partnership with Katie Boulter (Jordan Pettitt/PA) 'Katie made me feel really comfortable out there over the two matches and I hope we can team up again soon,' said 2021 US Open winner and former British number one Raducanu, who next faces Slovakian Rebecca Sramkova in the last 16 of the singles on Thursday afternoon. 'Given the quick turnaround from clay to grass it's great to get some extra matchplay on grass. The atmosphere again was unreal.' This is the first time in 52 years that women's tennis has been hosted at Queen's. It was just the third doubles match in Raducanu's career and only the second time she paired up with Boulter. The two still looked to be ironing out the finer points of their partnership when they clashed rackets in the first game and were down a break early on before Kichenok and Routliffe claimed the first set with another break. Katie Boulter will start the action at Andy Murray Arena on Thursday (John Walton/PA) The Britons grew into the match more in the second set – amusingly interrupted for a moment so a security guard could rescue a bee that had wandered down the baseline – bouncing back from a 4-1 deficit to level and converting their first break point of the match en route. But they squandered an opportunity to turn the screw when they could not convert four break points in the next game, and – despite plenty of encouragement from the crowd – eventually fell to the favourites. Boulter opens the action at the larger Andy Murray Arena on Thursday morning at midday, when she faces fifth-seed Diana Shnaider. 'Me and Emma played some very good tennis over these two doubles matches and our level was really high,' she said. 'The support from the crowd was immense as well and we're really grateful that so many people came out to support us.' British qualifier Heather Watson's meeting with former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina immediately follows on the newly-renamed centre court before wild card Raducanu's clash with Sramkova. Sonay Kartal was beaten by Amanda Anisimova (Adam Davy/PA) Sonay Kartal's Queen's campaign came to an end after the British wild card was defeated 6-1 6-3 by eighth seed Amanda Anisimova. Kartal, who confirmed she plans to participate at next week's Nottingham Open, said: '(Anisimova) didn't do too much wrong in that one. You just take it on the chin. The good thing about the grass is we are a couple of days and we're back at it again.' The British number three had booked her place in the second round on Monday after beating world number 16 Daria Kasatkina for the biggest win of her career. British doubles specialist Olivia Nicholls and her partner, Slovakian Tereza Mihalikova, lost 7-6 (3) 7-6 (5) to third seeds Ellen Perez (Australia) and Shuai Zhang (China).

Emma Raducanu stars in comprehensive grass-court victory

The 22-year-old beat the Spaniard 6-1 6-2 in just over one hour in her opening round singles match at the LTA's HSBC Championships. It was a dominant victory for the Brit, who had secured her first ever doubles victory alongside British No.1 Katie Boulter just 24 hours before and showed no signs of slowing down on the grass. And with it being just the first singles win on the surface this year, Raducanu revealed there is still more to come as she continues to find her feet. "I was quite locked in today," she said. "I'm very pleased with my performance. "I'm still trying to find my groove on this surface. There are certain shots I feel I'm a little late on, so I'm working on that. "I knew today was going to be a really difficult match - I lost to Cristina earlier in the year - so I was really trying to fight and make sure that didn't happen again." The pair had already come face to face earlier in the year at Singapore, with the Spanish player taking the spoils 5-7 7-5 7-5 that time out, but there was no question that Raducanu was the dominant force this time round. Bucsa put up a rallying performance at the start, comfortably winning her first service game and almost making a break of serve, but struggled to keep pace with Raducanu's game as she calmly took the first set in just 24 minutes. It was a similar story in the second, as Raducanu came out firing once again to extend her advantage. It meant that Raducanu took the victory in a comfortable hour and four minutes to seal her spot in the second round where she will now face Rebecca Sramkova. And after taking to the Andy Murray Arena for the first time this Championships, Raducanu was thrilled she could finally experience the feeling of a singles win at Queen's. "I think the biggest thing I'm proud of is how I handled the situation," she said. "It's such a great atmosphere and it really helped in those moments when I was at deuce but I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous before the match. "The way I overcame that was a great achievement and I did really well considering how I haven't had much time on the grass."
