PFTD #34: WE'RE GOING TO THE WORLD CUP! As you're surely aware by now, Wales' 1-0 playoff final victory over Ukraine has sent us to our first World Cup finals in 64 years (in Qatar unfortunately...), broken down in full as well as Wales' most recent Nations League results, a 2-1 loss to the Netherlands and a 1-1 draw with, you guessed it, Belgium.

Before that, Martin breaks down a phenomenal fortnight in Welsh combat sports with Joe Cordina becoming Wales' 13th boxing world champion, Ffion Davies claiming gold at the IBJJF worlds and Olympic gold medalist Lauren Price winning her professional boxing debut.

On episode 30 of Play For The Dragon, Martin sits down with author and the man who is truly living the dream, Tim Hartley, to discuss his latest book “The World At Your Feet: In Search Of The Soul Of Football” and some of his stories from travelling across the globe to take in the beautiful game including where it all started at Ninian Park, trips to the European Championships, Brazil, North Korea and more.

Sam and Lewis also join the show to discuss Wrexham’s recent run, losing away to Woking and hitting Weymouth for six before looking at the Welsh lads playing out of their collective skin in the Championship this season, whether Kieffer Moore starts in the playoff final and the new deal that may see S4C lose the coverage rights for Wales games (we seriously hope this is not the case).

PFTD #27:

Jack Shore vs Timur Valiev (03:36 - 14:26)
Cory McKenna vs Elise Reed (14:27 - 22:10)

Probably the most boring and least popular episode, Martin rambles on for 25 minutes about the 2 Welsh fighters competing at UFC London on Saturday. Can Jack Shore extend his unbeaten record to 16-0 and earn a top 15 opponent and can Cory McKenna get another statement win to establish herself in the straweight division? He thinks so and they're both Welsh so c'mon!
