We published our chair’s column today on our website and in the Western Mail and @walesonline.bsky.social on the epic summer of Welsh women’s sport, and what comes next.

An image of Jess Fishlock after she scored against Italy in the Euros, on an image of blue and green with black banners around the image which say #advocate #ymgyrchu #celebrate #dathlu #connect #cysylltu and the words:

Summer of women’s sport. There’s still so much to come! But where will we be once the focus on the big competitions has gone away?

Image of Leigh Robinson, CWS chair on an image of blue and green with black banners around the image which say #advocate #ymgyrchu #celebrate #dathlu #connect #cysylltu and the words:

We have been treated to an amazing start to the incredible year in Welsh women’s sport, with the Cymru Women’s team reaching the Euros, their first ever major tournament. I don’t know if you have watched the documentary on iPlayer but their journey from playing Germany in a field in Haverfordwest with their audience in the tens and a few horses, to their qualification for their first major tournament with some amazing women in Laura McAllister, Jayne Ludlow and Lowri Roberts (and of course Jess Fishlock!) helping them to rise from the point of not having a women’s team at all, to competing at the highest level of international football.

Credits to FAW and Tristan Jones/LET respectively. Background of blue and green with black banners around the image which say #advocate #ymgyrchu #celebrate #dathlu #connect #cysylltu and the words:

It has been a huge rush to see the mass of Wal Goch supporters in red taking to the streets in Switzerland and the excitement making no distinction between the gender of the players.

Now, so excitingly, we welcome the Women’s Open to Royal Porthcawl. Darcey Harry from Dinas Powys who last month won her first Ladies European Tour in the Hulencourt Women’s Open in Belgium will take to her home course against 143 others at the 49th open her in Wales. It is the first time the competition has been held on Welsh soil and for us all to have the opportunity to watch golfers from all over the world in our own backyard.

Just weeks beyond this, the women’s Rugby World Cup is going to be held just over the bridge in England. Tickets are still available for many of the matches in Bristol and Salford and the huge competition will see Wales take on Scotland on the second day of the tournament.

Only last week, we held an event with Glamorgan Cricket as the women played Kent in a T20 fixture ahead of the men’s. The women’s team turning professional at the country’s first-class cricket team marks a major investment into women’s cricket at this level, and we know they’re passionate about the youth teams too.

When we were updating the Wikipedia pages of the team ahead of the kick off of the Ewros, it was stark the number of the team who had either had to play with the boys or had to stop playing for a time when they were young because the provision for them wasn’t there.
