We have some fascinating rugby matches to look forward to over the Christmas period.

The Dragons start the ball rolling when they take on the Ospreys and we follow up with the Scarlets entertaining the Blues. These games will perhaps let us know which is the best region……..or will they!!!!

Our new TRADING ROOM continues to create interest here in Swansea.

We are one of the first two fully licenced Trading Rooms in the country which allow our customers to bet with BETFAIR at any stage of a race or football/rugby match using our top of the range equipment.

The Heineken Cup groups are gradually sorting out the possible winner and we have two of our regions still in with a fighting chance of lifting the cup.

Latest prices to win the Cup;

Cardiff Blues      8/1

Ospreys            14/1

Another fine result on Saturday saw Cardiff City improve into fifth place in the Championship. Goals from Bothroyd and Gyepes proved too much for Ipswich who fought back with a goal from Stead.

Swansea played really well and took the lead with a questionable penalty scored by Jason Scotland but they couldn’t maintain the lead as Sheffield United rallied to grab a late equaliser . They are now 11th in the Championship……just five points behind Cardiff.

Our new Trading Room has certainly created some interest since opening on December 1st.

 It allows people to place bets at any stage of a race with a Betfair account. Trading Rooms are a new concept in Betting Shops and we are proud to be one of the first fully licenced premises in the UK.

The Scarlets get the weekend fixtures off to a flying start with a home fixture against Ulster. They will be hoping for a good result at home as Ulster are a less formidable team on the road.

Cardiff will be looking for all three points at Ipswich to maintain a play-off spot while Swansea entertain Sheffield United who are also in the play-off places. Wins for both teams will be very welcome!!

Last night Swans proved their worth in a dramatic game with Barnsley. It wasn’t until the second half that the game really got exciting. Barnsley were 2-0 up thanks to goals from Macken and a penalty from Campbell-Ryce, but our lads turned up the pressure. Jason Scotland Scored in 66th min and, much to the delight of everyone here, scored in the 90th minute. Much pleased Martinez later said that Scotlands performance deserved a hat trick. We couldn’t agree more…… stay tuned for first goalscorer prices and more betting opportunities for Swansea v Sheff Utd, Saturday 13th December.
