Match action: Team Bath Netball's first NXT Gen League match in Bristol proved to be a thriller as they were edged out by a last-gasp goal by Manchester Thunder at Clifton College, the visitors winning 50-49.
His ship came in: Retired sailor Alan Wilcock, 75, had plenty of reasons to be cheerful after winning £1m on a National Lottery scratchcard. Where better to pose for the cameras than the SS Great Britain?
Not to be: Despite a great hit from Romaine Sawyers to make it 1-1, Rovers slipped to a 2-1 defeat against Mansfield at the Mem on Saturday.
Lifesavers: Blackadder star Sir Tony Robinson joined a nationwide relay aimed at encouraging football fans to learn how to perform CPR. Sir Tony, a Bristol City fan, started his leg at Ashton Gate as part of the British Heart and Sky Bet campaign.

Let the hunt begin: Bristol Zoo Project and other tourist attractions across the West and South Wales have created one of the biggest Easter egg hunts of the year. From now until 4 April, several golden eggs are being hidden at locations across the regions, one a day. Clues will be placed on the zoo's social media accounts each day and anyone who finds an egg zoo tickets and a toy.
Recognition: Consultant Rachael Morris, who works at Weston General Hospital, has been awarded a medal from the Royal College of Emergency Medicine for her "outstanding" work caring for older people. Dr Rebecca Maxwell, chief medical officer for University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust, said the trust was "proud" of Rachael's achievement.
Going green: Two of the city's business improvement districts (BIDs) have joined forces to help companies make changes as Bristol aims to become a net zero city by 2030. The City Centre and Redcliffe & Temple BIDs are offering advice and support along with the Bristol Climate & Nature Partnership.

Gethin Jones reveals heartbreaking news that his father has died saying ‘he put up a good fight'
The TV presenter shared a lengthy tribute to his dad on instagram sad loss Gethin Jones reveals heartbreaking news that his father has died saying 'he put up a good fight' MORNING Live presenter Gethin Jones has shared the heartbreaking news that his dad has died. The BBC star, 47, revealed the sad news today on his social media. 2 Gethin Jones shared his last picture with his dad as he revealed he had passed away 2 Gethin presenting Morning Live with Kym Marsh Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk Gethin posted a snap with his dad in his hospital bed, before sharing a long caption remembering his father. He wrote: 'Wales defeated England..' (the famous line from Max Boyce) - Hymns and Arias with dad last night, before he left us this morning. The most perfect, peaceful end. Welsh hymns playing, and the grandsons on speaker phone saying goodbye." The Welshman went on to explain: "Dad was poorly for a while, he put up a good fight, incredible really. It was so nice to see his dry humour, the importance of faith and his love for classical music shine through at the end. "Every day I've been at the Heath Hospital in Cardiff, someone would stop me and ask me about dad. He probably taught them at some point. He made a big impact on education in these parts over a long period of time. He was strict and direct, always reasonable. A teacher for 40 years, a headteacher for 28!" He continued: "Always grateful for the care and understanding of the wonderful NHS staff - my sister is one of them. But this time, she was also the daughter. One of the strongest I know, (and then will cry at an emotive sentence in Welsh!). She's just been amazing, didn't miss a beat. A little mention to her what's app group with her mates. Finding the humour when needed is so important isn't it.. along with the unconditional support." Gethin concluded the post: "A tough old week. But lucky in so many ways. #AmyneddYwAmodLlwyddo" The final phrase he shared translates to English as 'Patience is the key to success.' Gethin was soon inundated with wellwishes. "Beautifully chosen words thinking of you. Big Hug," wrote fellow presenter Anthea Turner. Morning Live medic Dr Ranj shared a series of heart emojis in the comments section. The One Show's Alex Jones wrote in Welsh, "Meddwl amdano ti Geth. Loads o gariad atoch chi gyd." This means, "Thinking of you Geth. Lots of love to all." Sir Chris Hoy added: "So sorry to hear it mate, but heartwarming to see him surrounded with love. x"

Love Island stars send fans wild as they fuel romance rumours with telling Instagram snap in the same place
Love Island stars Emily Moran and Ciaran Davies have fuelled romance rumours after posting an Instagram snap from the same place. The pair, both hailing from Wales, failed to find lasting love during their respective stints on the ITV2 dating show, with Emily being dumped by Tommy Bradley following Casa Amor this year. While Ciaran won the 2024 series with then girlfriend Nicole Samuels, before the pair called it a day just months after leaving the villa. However, it looks like romance could potentially be on the cards for Ciaran and Nicole as they sparked speculation they were on a date on Sunday night, sending fans wild. The pair both snapped an image from the same bar in Cardiff, posting on their Instagram stories within an hour of each other. While Ciaran posted a snap of a pink car being crushed by a giant scaly claw at around 9pm, just an hour later, Emily posted an almost identical image. Love Island stars Emily Moran and Ciaran Davies [pictured] have fuelled romance rumours after posting an Instagram snap from the same place It appears that the pair were spending time at Golf Fang cocktail bar in Cardiff's city centre, though they didn't tag each other in their posts. However, this was enough to send rumours into overdrive as fans took to Reddit to discuss a possible romance between the two. They penned: 'Definitely not a coincidence.' 'Love this for them'; 'Never a coincidence when the post like this.' 'We know Ciaran loves his Welsh girls'; 'I feel like this is a perfect pairing lol.' 'I feel this is a soft launch, apparently that's a term now.' It comes after last month, it was already reported that Emily was 'getting to know' Ciaran after being dumped from the villa. She was said to have found a connection with Ciaran after he reached out on social media after Tommy ditched her for Lucy Quinn. A source told The Sun: 'Ciaran initially approached Emily when she left the show just to congratulate her and stuff on how she was and handled herself on the show towards the end, which got them to talking.' They added: 'Both have been getting to know each other on a more romantic level and they're looking to see how things go.' 'Emily has no intention of moving back to Australia as of yet as she's focused on her work and recent brand deals here in the UK. But maybe who's to say that something romantically might also sway her decision to stay in the UK. Apparently she has something big on the horizon with some brand.'

Love Island viewers stunned as Ciaran makes huge statement about his romance with Nicole While, Ciaran, who is also from Wales, was coupled up with Nicole Samuel in last year's series, with the pair parting ways a few months after the final. The Sun previously revealed that there was a spark between the pair, after they connected when Emily was brutally dumped from the villa. A source exclusively told us at the time: "Ciaran initially approached Emily when she left the show just to congratulate her and stuff on how she was and handled herself on the show towards the end, which got them to talking. "Both have been getting to know each other on a more romantic level and they're looking to see how things go." 5 The source added how at the moment since coming out of the villa, Emily is "taking every opportunity she can" especially with brand deals. They noted that Ciaran "is absolutely fine" with her focusing on getting brand deals and making a name for herself "because that's what everyone does when they get out".
