Welcome back, Exiles! Another pod of two halves for you - the first half is a quick news roundup from Ed, featuring reviews from Hwyligan of County's pre-season draw at Pontypridd, and from Ollie of the win at Undy.

Then, in part two, we unveil our local team in focus for 2025/26. We're really excited about the prospect of covering Rogerstone AFC Ladies who, as you'll hear in the interview, enter only their second season together. But although only a new side, they're a wonderful bunch with incredible team spirit, and they represent everything we love about sport. We look forward to tracking their progress through the season, and we encourage you to do the same - give them a follow on social media and keep across their fixtures via the Cymru Football app.

As always, you can contact us via your social media platform of choice, and please also consider donating as little as £2 via our ko-fi page if you like what we do. We’re delighted that the Riverside Sports Bar (the home of Welsh sports fans) are giving us their valued support for another season, and we remain hugely grateful to Tinty & The Bucket Hats for letting us use Discoland as our theme tune. Our outro music is Virgo by Sean T.

We'll be back soon with more news, views and gossip. But until then: look after yourselves, look after each other, and above all – as always – Keep It County!
