MEN’S FOOTBALL: A first-half penalty from Aramide Oteh and a late Jac Clay own goal helped defending champions The New Saints to a 2-0 win at Cardiff Met that keeps them a point clear in the Cymru Premier after second-placed Penybont edged past Newtown 2-1.

MEN’S RUGBY LEAGUE: Following the postponement of nearly all last weekend’s Challenge Cup games not one third-round tie was confirmed during an almost farcical draw broadcast live by the BBC online. 

The last fixture out of the hat saw Waterhead Warriors or Leigh Miners or Featherstone Rovers against Blackbrook, the Longhorns or Ince Road Bridge. 

Cup-holders Wigan will travel to either the Sheffield Eagles, West Bowling or Castleford-based Cutsyke Raiders. 

MEN’S FOOTBALL: Belfast neighbours Glentoran and Cliftonville will meet in the Northern Irish League Cup final after both teams secured extra-time semi-final wins late on Tuesday night.
