Bargoed v Newbridge
Bargoed know that if they are to have any hope of wrestling the
Division One East title from Ebbw Vale, they must defeat Newbridge on Saturday.
However, the visitors, who secured a Swalec Cup semi-final berth last weekend,
will be high in confidence and looking to secure a repeat of their narrow win
over their rivals back in October. I think this will be another tight encounter
but the home advantage will just give the edge to Bargoed
Verdict-Bargoed by 3
points
Beddau v Blackwood
A single point separates these sides in the table. Beddau won
the reverse and will be confident of securing a similar result tomorrow as they
target a top five finish in the league. Blackwood on the other hand will want
to put in an improved performance after losing the last two encounters, albeit
against Ebbw Vale and Newbridge.
Verdict-Beddau by 10
points
Ebbw Vale v Merthyr
Fresh from their win over their third Premiership conquest
Swansea in the Cup last weekend the Steelmen welcome Merthyr to Eugene Cross
Park with the One East pacemakers gunning for another big win as they look to
home in on successive league titles. The Ironmen showed their dogged spirit in
their narrow home win against Mountain Ash last week but I don’t think they
will be able to prevent Ebbw notching up their 16th league win.
Verdict- Ebbw Vale by
25 points
Gilfach Goch v Tredegar
Gowch have stuttered since the Christmas break but looked back
to their best in their win at Treorchy last week, as they look to chase down
Newbridge and bag a top three finish. The reverse fixture was very close with
Gil only just triumphing, but basement boys Tredegar haven’t won since November
and I don’t see that changing on Saturday.
Verdict-Gilfach Goch by
15 points
Glamorgan Wanderers v Treorchy
Both sides will want to bounce back from disappointing losses
last week. The Zebras won the reverse and will be keen for a repeat to cement a
top six finish, four places higher than last year. The Wanderers, who are
already assured a place in the National Championship next season, have started
to show signs of improvement and will target a win as another step in the right
direction.
Verdict-Glamorgan
Wanderers by 5 points
Mountain
Ash v Rumney
The Old Firm narrowly missed out on picking up their sixth win
last weekend as last year’s Two East champions continue to establish themselves
in the higher league. Rumney won the reverse and will be buoyed by their
performance last weekend as they look to improve on their eighth place finish
last season.
Verdict- Rumney by 6
points
