Team selected for the visit of Ystalyfera.


Bedwas welcome Ystalyfera to the Bridgefield on  Saturday in the last game of the current series of WRU Championship Plate (the remaining fixtures will take place in the New Year).

Head Coach Stefan Sankala will be hoping his side can bounce back from the disappointing result at Trebanos last time out.

There are a few positional changes, a new face and return of couple of players on permit from Cardiff RFC to look forward to this week; Alun Rees at hooker and James Richards at blind side flanker being those two players. Ben Sier having recovered from a head injury at Cross Keys three weeks ago moves into the second row. Liam Jenkins returns from injury at loose head prop.

Behind the scrum Liam Herdman on permit from Rhiwbina comes into the side with Jack Guy and Josh Edwards returning to the side on the flanks. Matthew Williams moves to inside centre in partnership with Dafydd Thomas.

On the bench Mike Dacey, Kalum Phillips and Alex Bourne all return.

The full selection is:

  1. Alec Jones, 14. Josh Edwards, 13. Dafydd Thomas, 12. Matthew Williams, 11. Jack Guy, 10. Matty Bancroft, 9. Liam Herdman; 1. Liam Jenkins, 2. Alun Rees, 3. Rhys Hutcherson, 4. Ben Sier, 5. Craig Hudd ©, 6. James Richards, 7. Owen Jones, 8. Dale Rogers.
