Well, another lost weekend for my teams. Wales lost to France and Cardiff FC let still another one slip away at the end. At least they got a draw out of it. Cardiff looks headed to another playoff and not automatic promotion.

I was gutted by the Wales rugby loss. They say we have some of the best players in the game...when oh when are we going to put it all together?

Glad Scarlets were idle this week as they probably would have gone down the tube as well.

On an even sadder note, I watched the final episode for the season of "Jonathan" yesterday. Rats..love that S4C show.

Anyone looking for a good read would do well to get a copy of "Half Time." the autobiography of Welsh rugby ref Nigel Owens. It's a quick and enjoyable book.

Well, there ya go..Cardiff falls again at the death, just like last week. Swansea drew at home. I believe (without checking the table) that City are now in 4th place.

I would like to see both clubs make it to the PL.

I usually follow the City games via the live blog on the Wales on Line site. It is amazing how many of the City fans hate the Jacks. I suggested once how nice it would be if both teams went up and was blasted by readers! Good grief.

A chilly Boston, Massachusetts afternoon, but sunny. The sun has not been seen much this winter, but the snow has! Sick of the white stuff.

I am new to this site and this is my first blog. Fact is, it is the first blog I have ever written period.

I was born in Dorchester 65 years ago, served in the US Navy from 1965 through 1971. I didn't care for it much, but now I am proud to say I served my country, two years of service on a destroyer, the USS Gearing.

For most of my life I considered myself English (mothers side) and Irish (father). But a few years ago a family member did a family tree and traced some family back to Wales. With a name like Evans I figured there had to be some Welsh in my background. To make a long story short, I have been considering myself Welsh for quite a few years now and loving it. I now know some Welsh wordsand have met many Welsh on Face Book who are really delightful.

Being now a self proclaimed Welshman, I began to follow the sport teams of Wales and the athletes of the country.

The teams I support are Llanelli RFC, Scarlets, Llanelli AFC, Wales national rugby team, Crusaders RL, Glamorgan Cricket and Cardiff City FC.

The thought I had today was why do my Welsh teams seem to struggle so? Cardiff City, for instance, had a chance to move into second place on the table last week, but lost 0-2 at home! Everyone says they should gain at least the 2nd spot and automatic promotion...ok, but why put me (and many real Welshmen) through the trama?

And what is this I heard the other day on BBC Wales: In order for Wales to have a international cricket team Glamorgan would have to cease to exist? Good Lord.
