Ioan Croft to fight for Gold as Garan gets Bronze
CRYMYCH’s Ioan Croft will fight for gold in the Commonwealth Games after winning his semi-final on Saturday night (Aug 6).
He came up against Scotland’s Tyler Jolly, who had scored a 20-second knockout in the previous round.
The pair had also met a year ago with Croft gaining the advantage on that occasion.
The first round of their bout was a scrappy affair but was scored in favour of Jolly by way of a 3-2 split.
A good second round followed with Croft getting more success with his punches.
That showed as the judges gave a 4-1 split in the Welshman’s favour.
With the scores level on all but one of the cards it all came down to the final round. Jolly suffered a cut to the head following an accidental clash of heads but was ok to continue with two minutes still to go.
There was another stoppage due to Jolly’s injury but Croft finished well. That saw him earn a 4-1 split decision win.
Ioan’s final will take place on Sunday, August 7, at around 7:45pm.
Earlier in the light Middleweight division, Ioan’s brother Garan fought Northern Irish boxer Aidan Walsh and was beaten 4-1 on points, meaning he would have to settle for a bronze medal.

Clubs event inspires girls to try new sports
MORE than 50 young people took part in a multi-sport taster event designed to encourage girls to get involved in new activities.
The Sport Pembrokeshire Community Clubs event was held at Fishguard Leisure Centre on Sunday (Dec 1) for pupils from Ysgol Bro Gwaun and its feeder schools, with sponsorship from Valero.
Local sports clubs and activity providers offered a wide range of sessions, including cricket, self-defence, rowing, dance, hockey, tennis, table tennis, rugby and basketball. Water for participants was kindly provided by Princes Gate.
Young Ambassadors from Ysgol Bro Gwaun also played a key role in helping the event run smoothly.
Dan Bellis, of Sport Pembrokeshire, said: “It was a fantastic evening and it was brilliant to see so many young people and coaches in attendance.
“There was a wide range of activities on offer and everyone clearly enjoyed themselves.
“We hope the girls who took part have discovered a new sport or activity and will continue their involvement with the local clubs and providers who supported the event.”

Keeper scores 121st-minute wonder goal before saving two penalties
Cwmamman United stun Tenby AFC in an unforgettable 3-3 thriller to reach the last sixteen of the West Wales Intermediate Cup
Cwmamman Utd 3 Tenby AFC 3 (Cwm win 3–2 on pens)
AN EXTRAORDINARY cup tie unfolded at Grenig Park as Cwmamman United and Tenby AFC shared a breathless 3-3 draw, before the hosts edged through 3–2 on penalties.
Tenby struck almost instantly, with Lloyd Hughes finding the net inside the opening minute. Cwm hit back on 14 minutes when Cam Isaac produced a superb finish to level the tie, but Joe Leahy restored Tenby’s lead before the break – a goal that for long spells looked like it might settle the contest.
Deep into stoppage time, however, Cwmamman refused to accept defeat. In the 100th minute, Jackson Brereton pounced to smash home an equaliser and force extra time.
The drama only intensified. Tenby were awarded a hotly disputed penalty in the 114th minute, converted confidently by Hughes. The spot-kick also saw Cwm’s Kieran Rees – who had been excellent alongside Kai O’Donnell at the heart of the defence – shown a red card.
But with virtually the last kick of the game, Cwm’s goalkeeper Kai Rees strode forward for a final desperate attack and unleashed a stunning 25-yard volley to make it 3-3, sparking wild celebrations around the ground.
Rees was far from finished. In the decisive shootout, he produced two superb saves to secure a 3–2 penalty win and send Cwmamman United into the last sixteen of the West Wales Intermediate Cup.
