Keep on moving is Quay boss Disney's message to Oswell!
Oswell, the former Wrexham striker, made the move to Connah's Quay from relegated Newtown over the summer and he has been in fine goal-scoring form for Nomads in pre-season matches. Team boss Disney told the club's X site: 'A constant threat in the box and I think again that's what we've got to work on. 'So, we're working towards our patterns of what we're looking to do and how we load the box when Jason's in there, because, you know, you speak to the players that have played against him within the league and even higher, and, you know, he's played in the Football League. 'He moves in the box constantly and I think very good strikers do that. I think he's been a really good addition around the place. 'He's a really good professional. He's a good player. He gets on the end of all the crosses and he brings other people into play. 'So, yeah, really positive with Jason. I think we knew what we were going to get and I think his movement... you can't match it when you're in the box.' Nomads have confirmed the signing of 19-year-old midfielder Callum West. Having come through the academies at Burnley and Barnsley, West went on to make senior appearances with Macclesfield, Hyde United and Hebburn Town. West will be a part of Quay's new hybrid first team model. Disney told the club's website: 'Callum is a player who I first saw playing for Macclesfield at 16 and caught my eye right away with his fantastic left foot and was rightfully rewarded a full time move to Burnley. 'Callum also made his senior professional debut at Barnsley last season and is another very versatile player with wonderful fitness levels. Callum has had three years in full time football and once the opportunity to become a full time player here arose it was something he and his family wanted to commit to.' Nomads will continue their pre-season preparations with a friendly trip to Lower Breck tomorrow. Flint Town United have confirmed they have received formal offers from EFL clubs for Isaac Lee. 'Permission has been granted for him to hold talks with all parties involved,' said a club statement. 'Further announcements will be made in due course.' Lee Fowler's Silkmen, who drew 1-1 with Llay Welfare in midweek, are in friendly action at home to Avro tomorrow. Holywell Town have bolstered their squad ahead of next weekend's Cymru North kick-off. James Stead has made a move to the Wellmen. A composed and intelligent midfielder, Stead is sure to bring quality on the ball and he will add depth to boss Johnny Haseldin's options in the middle of the park. In addition, striker Oli Buckley has returned for a second spell at Holywell. He previously enjoyed a two-year stint with Town between 2021 and 2023. There's no Welsh League Cup action for Holywell this weekend and they will host NFA in a friendly tomorrow. In midweek, Ieuan Hewitt netted for the Wellmen in a 1-1 draw versus Llanrwst. Tomorrow's friendlies: Liver Academy v Hawarden Rangers; Llangollen Town v Ruabon Rovers; Llansantffraid v Rhostyllen; Llay Welfare v Capenhurst Villa; Penycae v Whitchurch Alport; Wythenshawe v Airbus. Sunday: Chirk AAA U19s v Corwen Reserves.

A full pre-season programme for Quay's Academy teams has been confirmed ahead of the new season, giving action for sides from under-eights through to U16s. Nomads' teams will enjoy mixed home and away fixtures against nine different professional youth set-ups and Academies, offering some great game experiences for the youngsters.

"One day I'd like to be a wild woman"
A Girl's Guide to Hunting, Fishing and Wild Cooking When world-renowned chef, Analiese Gregory gave up the restaurant business around five years ago, she started on a path of personal discovery that eventually silenced the mental noise of self-doubt. 'Before I moved to Tasmania, I was always so nervous,' Gregory tells SBS. 'I used to ask myself 'can I actually cook?' I wondered about my cooking skills constantly. I had big impostor syndrome.' This was despite the fact that Gregory was – and still is – one of the most celebrated chefs of her generation . She fine-tuned her cheffing skills under the mentorship of Peter Gilmore at his acclaimed restaurant, Quay and later worked at the Michelin star restaurant Le Meurice in Paris. Her personal journey is faithfully documented in the SBS series A Girl's Guide to Hunting, Fishing and Wild Cooking and in season two , it's apparent that Gregory has settled into a much wilder existence. And she is also ready to come full circle as she works towards opening an eatery, run out of a renovated shed on her property. The 'anti-restaurant', which is due to open some time in August 2025, does not focus on serving fine dining dishes, nor will it focus on increasing covers. Instead, the plan is to host 10 diners at a time. Guests will eat seasonal food that Gregory has grown, hunted and foraged. The menu will work with nature and hero ingredients that celebrate the chef's connection to her local environment. In Tasmania, the chef feels she's returned to a truer version of herself and rediscovered her connection to food, the land and sea. 'There's been a real joy in living here and doing what I am doing,' she says. 'As a child I was always out in the fields. Then, I got older and hated camping. For so long in my adult years, I didn't own a flat pair of shoes (apart from my kitchen clogs). I only wanted to wear dresses and high heels, and be in big cities visiting art galleries. I was very much the city girl. 'When I lived in Sydney, before I moved to Tasmania, I didn't even cook at home. I worked six days a week and, most nights, I'd eat a staff meal before service and snacks after service. On my night off, I'd go out to eat. I think I only ever cooked at home once every six months.' Eventually, Gregory heard the call of nature summoning her to live a more sustainable life. So five years ago, she bought a cottage in need of renovation in Tasmania's Huon Valley , 40 minutes drive from Hobart, and chased her food goals. 'I used to dream of having an old wooden farmhouse and a kitchen that was filled with bowls of homegrown produce. I really tried hard to make my house in Tasmania be just like my dream. It's now all paid off.' 'When you live in any big city, all kinds of food are available at any given time of year. But in Tasmania, you have to eat and live with the seasons properly. You can fight against it but it's much easier to give into it. I've come around to accepting these sorts of things.' Now, Gregory eats regularly at home and feasts on foods that she's passionate about because she's grown, sourced or made them herself. In her kitchen there are fruits and vegetables from her garden, homemade pickles and other condiments, honey from her bees, cheese that she personally crafted and prosciutto that she cures herself. She also eats sea urchins, fish and abalone that she sources locally herself, often forages for native greens and has also raised chickens, goats, pigs and sheep, as well as grown herbs in her farm. And, she courageously takes on hunting – even if it feels confronting – and fishing in the wild, including underwater spearfishing, in a bid to stay true to her values. 'I feel as though I've come full circle. I feel more fulfilled. Nature has definitely been healing.' The impostor syndrome is also gone. 'This period in my life has been a time of upskilling. Now I'm like: 'oh okay. I can do this'.' Gregory now aims to continue strengthening her connection to nature. To do that, she seeks inspiration from Indigenous females across the globe who have traditionally fulfilled the hunter-gatherer role. 'One day, I would like to be 'a wild woman'. To me, being 'wild' means being able to live within nature but not necessarily harm it. You have to be comfortable being with yourself in nature, with your own thoughts. There's also a certain amount of self-reflection that has to happen for you to be able to do that. That's what I think of as being 'wild'. 'I don't know if I fully achieved it yet, but I feel like that is something I want to work towards.' Season 2 of A Girl's Guide to Hunting, Fishing and Wild Cooking premieres on Monday 23 June, 2025 at 7.30pm on SBS On Demand and SBS Food. Watch now Share this with family and friends
