We move on to item 4, which is the 90-second statements, and I call Jack Sargeant.

Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I'm sure that you'll agree with me that our Presiding Officer always aims to be impartial in her role within this Chamber. She may, however, find it difficult and extremely hard to keep that same standard this Sunday when Aberystwyth Town FC take on Connah's Quay Nomads FC in the one-hundred-and-thirty-first JD Welsh Cup Final. I look forward to attending the final with the Member for Ceredigion and I want to take time today to congratulate both teams on their achievements to date and their contribution to both their communities—their special communities. But, of course, I am hoping to see the Nomads bring that trophy back to Connah's Quay this coming Sunday. Thank you.

Thank you. I'm sure that the Llywydd would want to extend to both teams her wish that they have a good match. It is a showcase for Welsh premier league football. I'm only sad that the only team in the Welsh premier league that I ever wanted to support is not taking part in that final this year, but I hope, in future years, that I will be able to stand up and make a similar statement of congratulations or support for the team. I look forward to that match, as I'm sure the Llywydd does, and as other Members will. Thank you very much for raising it, and, as I say, I hope that that puts me in the good books with the Llywydd for later on in the proceedings. Thank you.
