STAYING on a sporting theme, what an incredible day Saturday could be for rugby and football fans in Gwent.

Wales go for a third Grand Slam in seven years while Newport County will be bidding for a first-ever visit to Wembley.

And both teams have a tremendous chance of success.

Wales will be facing a misfiring French team in front of vociferous home support in the Millennium Stadium, while County will be travelling to Wealdstone with a 3-1 first leg lead to defend to earn a place in the FA Trophy Final.

We would argue that County reaching Wembley would be the greater achievement of the two. But what a day there is in prospect for sports fans. And rest assured if you cannot get to the games or aren’t near a television on the day, your Argus will be bringing you live online coverage of both crucial matches.
