With the race to a top place finish in
the Principality Premiership now turning into its home straight, current
leaders Pontypridd will seek to maintain form and momentum with an away trip to
Aberavon on Saturday 29th March, the match kicking off at 2:30pm.
The two clubs will meet each other
twice within the short space of four days as the re-arranged return league tie
will be played the following Tuesday evening 1st of April. Yet another
encounter is in the offing in the SWALEC Cup semi final round on Saturday 12th
April.
Under a new coaching team of Jason
Hyatt and Barry Maddocks Aberavon have enjoyed a recent resurgence to pull
clear of the relegation zone, currently placed tenth in the Premiership table.
Pontypridd come into the game on a high
following a 55pts to 15 demolition of Llanelli in the cup quarter final the
previous weekend. Four changes are made to the starting line up from that game,
with Owen Williams in on the wing, Chris Phillips at prop, Tom Hetherington at
hooker and Owen Sheppeard at blind side flanker. Hooker Liam Belcher returns
from Wales under 18 duty to take a place on the bench.
Away with Wales Sevens in Hong Kong are
winger Alex Webber and scrum half Tom Williams, whilst winger Lewis Williams
has been given leave of absence to get married and has taken prop James Howe
with him.
