Behind the scenes on our recent shoot for Novira Cymru Leagues 📸

31/07/2026

It’s a big weekend of football in Wales as the Novira Cymru Leagues get underway, and at Alternative Wales, we’re all over it.

So, before the action kicks off, make sure you’ve ordered a copy of our season preview magazine, and then settle in and watch the Teras produced season opener video on the Novira Cymru Leagues account, then pop on the latest episode of The Concourse with Chris Hughes and Iolo Cheung to get all the insight ahead of the new campaign.

And then on Sunday, we’ll be at Penybont v TNS providing commentary and more, only available on the Cymru Football TV app.

It’s massive, it really is. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Where did my accent go? | emily ash powell ✍️

Emily is a creative powerhouse and the person behind Hurdling with Emily Ash Powell, a newsletter that looks at how we get over the things that get in our way, with Emily interviewing writers, creatives and interesting people about their hurdles.

Emily wrote this piece a year or so ago, and I found it fascinating. From speaking to people over the years, it also seems to be a pretty common experience for Welsh people who work beyond our borders. So, grab yourself a quick drink, pop your feet up (unless you’re on public transport, you absolute heathen) and enjoy this super little essay on our Substack.

I (Ryan) will also be a guest speaker at the first ever Hurdling IRL event in Bara Café on Wednesday. Links for the piece and the event will be in our stories.

The Novira Cymru Premier took over Womanby Street and Clwb Ifor Bach last night.

We had a class evening celebrating our national league with the people who make it happen. And it’s lovely to see our new Season Guide magazine in the real world. It’s bloody good, we must say. Grab a copy from our website and get a free poster as well.

Greg was also spotted enjoying a pie from our dear brothers in arms, Donald’s. 🖤

Diolch to the Novira Cymru Leagues for having us and trusting us with the magazine. It’s a big season ahead and we can’t wait for it to get underway next weekend.

We’ll be back with a season preview pod, weekly episodes and all the good stuff you know and love next week. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
