The Black & Ambers face another trip down the M4 to face our old rivals, Aberavon. The Wizards lost their first game to our neighbours, Ebbw Vale, but bounced back to beat Carmarthen. Games between these clubs are usually high-scoring, attractive affairs so let’s hope the weather doesn’t spoil this one in front of the TV cameras.
Several players picked up bumps on the weekend so the squad is rotated once again.
