NEWPORT v CARMARTHEN QUINS

April will be a busy month for the Black & Ambers with six games including the Premier Cup Final.  But first up is a vital league game against Carmarthen Quins with a possible 5 important points at stake.  There will be some sore bodies after the thrilling victory over Pontypridd at Sardis Road but the coaching team will be hoping that there are no injuries.  Full use of the squad was used in that win and we can expect that Ty Morris will again ring the changes as he aims to keep the players fresh.

Carmarthen are having a mixed season with a dreadful start before picking up a run of four victories but slipping back into a losing streak.  They lost by a two point margin on Saturday at home to Ebbw Vale so we can expect them to be very competitive on Tuesday

There will be a light training session on Monday and the matchday squad will be selected after this.

Newport: Thomas Davies, James Benjamin, Dan Suter, Elliot Ferriman, Craig Hudd, Rhys Jenkins, Kyle Tayler, Ben Roach, Che Hope, Matt O’Brien (Capt.), Elliot Frewen, Jake Lloyd, Chay Smith, Lloyd Lewis, Geraint O’Driscoll.

Replacements:  Henry Palmer, Tom Workman, Nathan Evans, Jon Verrier, josh Reid, Luke Crane, Matt Bancroft, Joe Westwood.
