“Bring ’em on,” is the attitude of a fighting Caerphilly side as coach Gareth Lintern and his men battle to avoid relegation. They have to keep winning and will note that Llandovery’s visit to seemingly-doomed Newbridge is also a key match. Newbridge have not played since February 9 and lost their last eight outings.
Aberavon, despite a wonderful cup win over Neath, are on a run of six successive league losses. They play their first home league match since December 11 when they take on Ebbw Vale, while battling Pontypool, coached by their splendid former hooker Steve Jones will go in real hope to Stradey Park to meet a Llanelli side who have won only once in their last six games.
Llanharan have eight losses and a draw since November, but will put up a stern resistance at Carmarthen Quins and could well spring a surprise and Newport against Cross Keys features not only a local derby, but also a wonderful meeting of old players of both clubs prior to the game. For lock John Herrera and wing Stuart Watkins there will be mixed feelings as they are two who appeared for both clubs.
