Dale steps down as Wrexham Women's manager
Steve Dale has resigned as the manager of Wrexham AFC Women.
During his four seasons in charge, the 34-year-old led Wrexham to promotion to the Adran Premier in 2023, as well as two Welsh Cup finals.
Their promotion to the Welsh top division paved the way for Wrexham to become the first women's team in Wales to become semi-professional.
"After four fantastic seasons in charge of Wrexham AFC Women, I have made the decision to step down as manager to pursue other opportunities," Dale told the club website.

"I would like to thank everyone at the football club for their support during my time here, and especially to the staff and players for helping us to make history with Wrexham AFC.
"I am hugely proud of our achievements on the pitch, and honoured to have been able to play a part in the growth of women's football not just in Wrexham but the whole of north Wales."
Dale, who was also involved in coaching the men's youth team set-up, first took charge in October 2021 after Mari Edwards' departure.
Wrexham chief executive Michael Williamson said: "We would like to thank Steve for everything he has contributed to women's football here.
"He has helped to change the face of the game not just in Wrexham but in all of Wales, overseeing an historic and hugely successful four years.
"Steve departs with our grateful thanks and with our very best wishes for the future. Our search for his replacement is now under way."

Canine cowabunga: Repeat surf dog champions crowned in Huntington Beach
Petey the Surf Dog caught a long wave early in the small dog finals of the Purina Pure Plan Incredible Dog Challenge Western Regional competition on Friday morning. The 6-year-old West Highland white terrier from Huntington Beach rode it all the way in toward the shore, earning plenty of points. Petey's trainer, Kay DeLoach, marveled at the ride after the competition. 'He seems to adjust his balance so he doesn't fall off,' DeLoach said. 'It's amazing to watch.' Petey proved up to the challenge yet again at Huntington State Beach. He won the small dog competition at the 28th annual event for the second straight year, topping a terrier mix from Long Beach named Carson in the championship heat. Koa, an 11-year-old female Labrador from Carlsbad, was also a repeat winner in the large dog competition at the event, held between Brookhurst Street and Lifeguard Tower 2. Koa edged Charlie, a yellow Labrador from El Cajon, in the final heat. Petey racked up the points even in low tide conditions, advancing to the final after a 10-minute preliminary heat. 'It was hard,' said DeLoach, who oversees Westie Rescue of Orange County. 'I was definitely nervous. Somebody asked me how do you feel when they take him out like that, and I said, 'panic.'' But he proved up to the challenge. DeLoach, who has lived in Surf City for about 25 years, said it was very exciting to repeat in a home competition. Koa's trainer, Kristina Welsh, raised her arms in victory after the final results of the large dog competition were announced. Koa was actually racing against her husband in the last heat — Welsh said that the trainers staged a wedding between Koa and Charlie last year. Derby, a retired surf dog also from the San Diego area, served as officiant. 'Hopefully Charlie doesn't divorce her,' said Welsh, smiling, after the competition. 'I'm honored, I really am. I really wanted this for her, because this is just something that she loves so much.' Welsh said that with Koa advancing in age, she wasn't sure if she would be back competing in Huntington Beach again next year. She gave a shout out to the knowledgeable lifeguards assisting with the competition, for helping Koa get on some really nice waves. 'Dogs have so much more than being a house dog, you know,' Welsh said. 'She has found her passion, and we can share that with people. People can see her athletic abilities, but also just the fact that she's like every other kid that wants to go out surfing. There's no difference. She wants to spend her day surfing just like a typical Southern California kid. It's the cutest thing in the world.' Dan Nykolayko from Newport Beach did not quite see his 2-year-old French bulldog Rocket advance to the small dog finals. Nykolayko formerly trained Cherie, another now-retired champion French bulldog. 'She's at home, mad,' said Nykolayko, smiling, sensing a bit of jealously. 'She's been barking at us.' The Purina Pro Plan Incredible Dog Challenge continues Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Huntington State Beach, between Beach Boulevard and Newland Street. Dogs will try their skills in agility, diving dog, freestyle flying disc, fetch it and weave competitions. The event is free and open to the public.

Mantelpiece Stories: Inside one collector's passion for PSA 1 cards
One of the best things about collecting is that it's a different experience for everyone, and no one can tell you if it's right or wrong. At Mantel's pre-Fanatics Fest trade night at Bleecker Trading, we met a collector, Steve Loff of Throwback Cards, who embodies this perfectly. His passion? Cards graded PSA 1, typically the lowest grade possible. Advertisement His goal? Own the world's largest collection of PSA 1 cards. Intrigued by his unique collection, we sat down with him to dive into the world of 'imperfectly perfect' cards. How did this unique collection begin? Steve: It all started when I saw a guy posting random PSA 1s on Instagram. I found it hilarious yet intriguing. Interestingly, my own journey actually began with a PSA 3, not a 1. I got a 2019 Pete Alonso #475 back from PSA expecting a 10, but it was a 3 due to an accidental fold in the card. I laughed, looked at the pop report — Pop 1, none lower — and decided, 'I'm keeping this card.' Then I thought about iconic cards I'd always wanted in high grades, like the '93 Jeter SP. Curious, I checked and saw a Pop 1 in PSA 1, found it immediately on COMC, and snagged it for $195. It remains my most expensive PSA 1 to date. That card changed my entire collecting approach. 1993 SP Derek Jeter PSA 1 (Via Mantel) Do you mostly buy your PSA 1 cards or grade them yourself? Steve: Around 95% are already graded as PSA 1. I often wonder how they ended up that way. Were they treasured by someone for a long time, graded out of curiosity, or a grading newbie's submission? Occasionally, when I can't find a Pop 1 or Pop 2 card I really want, I'll intentionally submit a beat-up card myself, hoping for a PSA 1. What's the secret to consistently getting PSA 1 grades? Steve: It's funny — just like spotting a PSA 10, you need an eye for a 1. It takes practice. I've aimed for 1s and sometimes ended up with 2s, which felt like overgrading! A perfect PSA 1 has good centering and registration but clearly visible creases and worn corners. My 1981 Topps Kirk Gibson is an ideal example: childhood-loved, pocket-worn, yet charmingly intact. 1981 Topps Kirk Gibson PSA 1 (Via Mantel) Do you ever intentionally damage cards for a lower grade? Steve: Occasionally, yes. However, I don't usually like taking shortcuts like pinholes —though I confess I did it once with my 1989 Topps Traded Barry Sanders. I let my kids play with it, creased it up, but wasn't confident it would grade a 1, so I added a pinhole. That card graded PSA 1 and has since become a centerpiece of my collection. I've even declined offers for it that exceeded PSA 10 prices! Which cards in your collection mean the most to you? Steve: The Sanders, despite the pinhole, because of the memorable story around its grading. The Jeter SP as my first PSA 1. The Kirk Gibson card for its ties to my childhood. Also, my junk wax-era PSA 1s — cards like the 1986 Canseco Rated Rookie, the 1987 Topps Bo Jackson Future Stars, and the 1983 Topps Tony Gwynn. I particularly love my 1969 Victoria Stevie Wonder, Pop 1, none lower! 1989 Topps Barry Sanders PSA 1, 1990 Topps Ken Griffey Jr. PSA 1 and 1990 Fleer Michael Jordan PSA 1 (Via Mantel) What might surprise people about the pricing of PSA 1 cards? Steve: PSA 1 cards are often rarer than higher grades, so there's a surprising premium sometimes. For example, my Barry Sanders card has drawn offers higher than PSA 10 counterparts. Generally, PSA 1 collecting is affordable and fun, but certain low-population cards can unexpectedly outpace mid-level grades in value. Any cards still on your wishlist? Steve: Definitely! I'd love an '86 Jordan, '79 Gretzky, or '58 Jim Brown, even though they're relatively common in PSA 1. My true wish list includes modern iconic cards you rarely see graded PSA 1, like the 2018 Prizm Luka Doncic or Tom Brady Bowman Chrome rookie. But at the very top are the 1984 Topps or Donruss Don Mattingly and the 1996 Topps Kobe Bryant — both hard to find and pricey. Any final thoughts you'd like to share? Steve: It is the best conversation starter. One fun thing is bringing these PSA 1 cards to shows and displaying them prominently. Collectors always react positively, often amazed or amused. As quirky as it sounds, PSA 1 collecting is incredibly rewarding — it's affordable, personal, and brings genuine joy and conversations every single time.

Wrexham sign Plymouth Argyle striker Ryan Hardie on three-year contract
Plymouth Argyle striker Ryan Hardie has become the first summer signing of ambitious newly-promoted Championship club Wrexham for an undisclosed fee. Hardie had 12 months remaining on his contract at Argyle and Plymouth Live understands that he was offered a new improved one by the Pilgrims but Wrexham, who are owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, came up with a deal which was worth more than that. Advertisement Sky Sports News reporter Anthony Joseph posted on X (Twitter) tonight that it was understood Wrexham had paid in the region of £700,000 for Hardie, whose release clause in his contract was reduced after Argyle's relegation from the Championship. READ MORE: Gareth Bale linked to Plymouth Argyle takeover bid by US-based group READ MORE: Plymouth Argyle confirm Austria training camp as part of pre-season Wrexham, who have achieved worldwide fame due to a Disney+ behind-the-scenes streaming series on them, have a pre-season tour to Australia and New Zealand next month before beginning their league campaign at the start of August. Advertisement Hardie, who has signed a three-year contract with the Wrexham, told the Welsh club's official website: "I'm delighted to get the move done, I'm really happy to get it done so early and I cannot wait to get going. "To get a full pre-season will be a massive benefit, to get integrated into the squad and learn the way the manager plays and get to know everyone will be important. "The last couple of seasons, it's been good getting experience in the EFL Championship and it's experience I can lean on now. I've enjoyed playing there, and I've managed to score a few goals, so hopefully that can continue this season. 'I love how family-oriented the club is, the community is all together and it really is a one-club city. Everything is to do with the football, and I'm really excited to be a part of that – I'll give everything I've got for the badge.' Advertisement The move to Wrexham means Hardie can continue to play in the Championship following Argyle's relegation to League One and given the high profile of the north Wales club it could boost his chances of a first Scotland call-up. Hardie leaves Argyle in joint 12th position in the club's all-time scoring list with 74 goals from a total of 174 starts and 74 substitute appearances since first joining from Blackpool in January 2020. That was the first of two loan stints for the former Glasgow Rangers striker before he completed a permanent transfer to the Pilgrims early in 2021. Hardie was Argyle's top scorer last season with 12 goals in all competitions, one more than Mustapha Bundu, who is out of contract at the end of this month and has rejected the offer of a new deal. Advertisement So it is now a priority for Argyle and their new head coach Tom Cleverley to add attacking firepower to their squad with the departures of Hardie and Bundu. Hardie will be reunited at Wrexham, who finished as League One runners-up to Birmingham City last term, with two other members of the Pilgrims' 2022/23 League One title winning squad in goalkeeper Callum Burton and defender Dan Scarr.
