Saturday will see a game between the teams who, last season, played against each other in the final of the league play-offs. An exciting game that was won by Newport who were in control for most of the match. But now we see Ebbw Vale leading the league table with 24 points having only played four games and Newport at the other end of the league without a win in their five games. Ebbw have played well to win their games and it’s hard to see a weakness in their team although I’m sure that the Newport coaching team will be looking for an area to attack.
