Laura's weekend predictions

Ammanford v Llangennech

This all West Wales derby will surely be a feisty affair. Ammanford will be desperate to put a run of wins together to avoid finishing bottom of the league, whereas Llangennech, who finished ninth last year, will want to finish the season strongly with a top six finish. Llangennech won the reverse but with both sides losing last weekend, I predict a close encounter. With the perfect weather conditions for running rugby coupled with two exciting back lines, I think a high scoring encounter will be on the cards.

Verdict-Llangennech by 5 points

Bonymaen v Carmarthen Athletic

Bony have rekindled the form that took them to a fourth place finish last season and they were unlucky to come away from Narberth on the wrong side of the result last weekend. They were easily dispatched by Athletic back in October but I foresee a much tighter contest on Saturday, with Carmarthen wanting to consolidate their top three position in the table with their fourth win on the bounce.

Verdict-Bonymaen by 3 points

Bridgend Athletic v Waunarlwydd

Athletic, similarly to Bonymaen, have seemingly sprung to life since Christmas. As the Newbridge Fields side build towards the National Championship, they were impressive in their high scoring win at Llangenench last week and I expect another rip roaring affair on Saturday. Waunarlwydd meanwhile come in to the match on the back of two losses and although I think they will enjoy an open expansive match, they will fall short.

Verdict-Bridgend Athletic by 7 points

Llanharan v Tondu

The Dairymen have been strong at home this season and will be keen to build on their comfortable victory at Waunarwlydd last weekend. On the other hand, the Waterwheelers, who sit bottom, have failed to bag a win since the middle of January, and despite some impressive performances, the newcomers have failed to seal games that they should have won.

Verdict-Llanharan by 5 points

UWIC v Tata Steel

This is the first of two meetings between these sides in the space of two weeks. The students, who suffered a shock result to Cardiff University in the Bucs league earlier in the week, will want to get their season back on track after also losing out to Newbridge for a place in the Swalec Cup semi-finals. The Saints meanwhile are still in the hunt for the One West title and will look to compound their hosts' misery, but they also know that one more slip-up would gift the title to Narberth.

Verdict-Tata Steel by 6 points

Whitland v Narberth

The Borderers lost their third placed position in the league last week, losing out at Tata Steel and they will be determined to try and prevent their neighbours from bagging the One West title. The Otters meanwhile know the destination of the championship is in their own hands but will also be very aware of Tata Steel breathing down their necks, especially after nearly slipping up against Bonymaen last week.

Verdict- Whitland by 3 points
