    BBC Radio Wales

    Swansea City v Southampton - Simon Davies and Ian Walsh (SW FM & SW Wales DAB)
    Derby County v Tan FC - Ian Hunt (host - updater on MW / Digital TV) Rob Philips and Kevin Ratcliffe (SE FM & SE Wales DAB)
    Shrewsbury Town v Newport County - Mark Poyser and Andy Legg (MW / Digital TV)
    Newtown v Cefn Druids - Marc Lloyd Williams
    Newport-Gwent Dragons v Glasgow Warriors (Guinness Pro12) - Huw Llewellyn Davies
    Cardiff v Llanelli (Principality Premiership RU) - Phil Steele
    Wales Open Golf, Newport - Dafydd Jones

    Only once did either Mark or Andy stray from their pronunciation of Shrewsbury by saying it like 'Shrew...' (the bird), with Andy being the culprit :D

    BBC Radio Cymru

    Swansea City v Southampton - Owain Llyr (part host) and Osian Roberts (SW Wales FM)
    Derby County v Tan FC - Catrin Heledd (host) Dylan Griffiths and Iwan Roberts (commentary everywhere/how else)
    Shrewsbury Town v Newport County - Malcolm Allen
    Newtown v Cefn Druids - Marc Lloyd Williams
    Newport-Gwent Dragons v Glasgow Warriors (Guinness Pro12) - Huw Llewellyn Davies
    Cardiff v Llanelli (Principality Premiership RU) - Alun Jenkins
    Wales Open Golf, Newport - Dafydd Jones

    Gwyn Jones was also heard from (in a studio somewhere) to talk about the Pro12 game, so I'd assume he was waiting to do off-tube commentary on it for S4C's delayed showing on Monday night.

    BBC Bristol / Somerset

    Geoff Twentymann (studio host)

    Ian Beach reported on the late game in the Premier League, West Ham United v Liverpool, for Today FM yesterday. I believe Russell Hargreaves was IRN's reporter at this game - he certainly was working at Upton Park yesterday as he mentioned this when hosting talkSPORT's Extra Time overnight. Newstalk 106-108FM didn't carry any of IRN's updates on the game (at least as far I can tell from my quick scan through their Listen Back archive of yesterday's Off The Ball).

    I have been dipping in and out of both 5Live and Talksport this afternoon, and when they went from the Singapore grand Prix to the football updates it was Pearce himself doing the update. The report did seem a bit strange as it was all a bit rushed and included bits of commentary rather than an actual update.

    Thanks, the producer on SE sometimes does 5Live updates but not today!

    It was Lawro instead of Kilbane at City, not sure why. Not that I am complaining, Lawro and Green paired together twice in 1 week! Brillant! Just like the old days.

    Kilbane apparently was the co-comm for the TV world feed. A lot of people moan about both Green and Lawrenson, however (although i didn't listen to them today) i think that they make a good combination when paired together.

    Both of the above commentaries are those that are available on the Football League Player subscription service. BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra aren't broadcasting commentary on the game at the DW Stadium for whatever reason, with studio discussion taking priority over live football on Radio 5 Live.
