Here's what the BBC website had to say:
Gruffudd Morgan and David Phelps took bronze in the 50m prone pairs to give Wales their third bronze of the Games.
The Welsh pair finished with 1176 points, behind Scotland (1179pts) and England (1182pts).
"It's very difficult to express how over the moon I am. After a lot of hard work, effort and team-work we've brought home the bacon," said Phelps.
All I can say is NICE!!!!!
No medals in the shooting today for Wales but there was some success for other home nations.

Alun Pugh, Minister for Culture, Welsh Language and Sport, came to the range today and took part in the awarding ceremony for the men’s rapid fire pistol pair’s event. It was really good to see a politician at a shooting range and to take part in the events going on. He seemed to smiling a great deal and looked to be enjoying his time there. Alun, if you read this and ever want to give shooting a go for yourself, please don't hesitate to ask!!

I also met Rhianon and family today at the team Wales Treacy center (chill out and meet n' greet place). It was great to see them and meet some of the family I'd never seen before. They are coming to the range on the 22nd to support and chear me on as part of their holiday to melbourne to see the commonwealth games.
I'm sorry for the lack of pictures today, but I've been on the laptop for over 2 hours and not 1 photo has uploaded!!! Not fair!! I will try yo edit this post tomorrow with the appropriate pictures.
Edit: as you can see now, I have uploaded some pics. Enjoy...
Speak again soon.
