Must win game to keep top 5 hopes alive.

Bedwas’ hopes of a top five finish and a place in the new Premier League for the 2024-25 season are in the balance. A bonus point win this Saturday is essential as we welcome Glamorgan Wanderers to the Bridgefield.

Head Coach Pat McGee commented ‘As a group we can only focus one week at a time. Everyone knows what’s expected, we have to go out there and perform to get anything out of the game.’

There are some changes to the side that faced Bargoed last week. Lewis David returns at Number 8 with Tommy Chapman and Rhys Jones making up the backrow with both Rhys Morgans and Dale Rogers injured. Jo Hole starts at lock with a to be confirmed partner, last weeks starting front row is unchanged.

Behind the scrum Adam Williams returns, Max Rivers moves to the right wing in place of the unavailable Aaron Billingham in an otherwise unchanged line-up.

On the replacements bench Lewis Crane, Ben Eedy and Llewelyn Brown all return.

The full line up is:

  1. Lloyd Wilkins, 14. Max Rivers, 13. Adam Williams, 12. Lewis Bowden, 11. Dafydd Thomas, 10. James Dixon (C), 9. Jak Robbins; 1. Brynley Toms, 2. Arwel Hughes, 3. Rhys Hutcherson, 4. Jo Hole, 5. Harry Oliver, 6. Tommy Chapman, 7. Rhys Jones, 8. Lewis David.

Replacements:
