The next item is the 90-second statements. The first one is from Leanne Wood.

Wayne Warren, a 57-year-old roofer from Treherbert, became the oldest winner in the history of the BDO world darts championship when he beat fellow Welshman Jim Williams 7-4 on the weekend. The Rhondda has already produced a BDO world champion in Cwmparc's Richie Burnett, so now we have two.

Back in 2001, Wayne believed that he would never play darts again after suffering burns to his upper body and spending 10 days in a hospital burns unit. Nearly two decades after that horrendous incident, he's been crowned a world champion. Wayne's use of the ddraig goch on his flights has assured recognition for our country as well as for the Rhondda.

Playing darts can have benefits, including improved hand to eye co-ordination, strategic thinking and mathematical skills. It's also, of course, a great excuse to get out of the house and socialise and support your local club or pub.

So, I'd just like to say, 'Diolch yn fawr iawn, Wayne Warren', for showing what is possible with determination, dedication and ambition. Diolch also to the other Rhondda darts players like Richie Burnett, Alan Evans, who's also known as 'The Rhondda Legend', and the many others who have brought recognition to the Rhondda and to Wales through the medium of darts. Tidy darts.

There I was, listening to Stormzy on the recommendation of Rhun ap Iorwerth, when an artist more familiar to me came to the attention of the charts. I would like to congratulate my constituent Dafydd Iwan for topping the iTunes chart with his iconic anthem 'Yma o Hyd'. Dafydd's success is a happy marriage between the old rocker and the thriving young YesCymru movement. Dafydd shares the same values as those who successfully elevated him to the top of the charts. Nobody has been as effective as Dafydd in safeguarding our nation and handing it on to the care of the younger generation. 'Yma o Hyd' was recorded on the Sain label in 1981. A company from Llandwrog in my constituency was responsible for that, and it's great to see Sain's contribution to the music scene in Wales getting international recognition. This publicity is an invaluable prelude as we approach Welsh Language Music Day on 7 February. This is a day when the Welsh language and Welsh music come together to promote our culture, and although we may not hear many protest songs next month, we can take comfort that the words from 'Yma o Hyd' are as relevant today as they were nearly 40 years ago.

The second 90-second statement today is about a Welsh darts player—who would've thought it? This Friday, 17 January, would have been the eightieth birthday of Leighton Rees. Leighton was born in Ynysybwl, the village where he spent much of his life. After school, he worked for a motor spares company, and during this time, he took up darts. He was a regular for his pub and county, and then found fame playing the sport on a wider stage in the 1970s.

Television beckoned. He took part in Yorkshire tv’s The Indoor League, the only player to win the darts tournament element twice. Indeed, such was the fame and name of the Ynysybwl competitor, nicknamed 'Marathon Man', that he turned professional in 1976. The inaugural World Darts Federation World Cup in 1977 featured Leighton as part of the triumphant Welsh team that clinched first prize. Leighton also won the singles tournament. The following year, he triumphed at the initial Embassy world professional darts championship in Nottingham.

After being ranked as world No. 1, his career experienced something of a decline, yet Leighton remained one of darts' most popular competitors. His matches nearly always resulted in full arenas. He enjoyed success on tv's Bullseye, and he is credited for helping to make darts a popular tv entertainment, and he was also a much-loved and respected local figure. A street, Leighton Rees Close in Ynysybwl, was named after him. Leighton died in 2003 aged 63, but the legend of the 'Marathon Man' lives on.

The Deputy Presiding Officer (Ann Jones) took the Chair.

Thank you.
