TEAM NEWS & SUPPORTERS’ INFORMATION: NEATH v KENFIG HILL

Neath Rugby News

NEATH v KENFIG HILL (HOME) – FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 11th,  2022

Neath RFC play Division 1 West side Kenfig Hill at The Gnoll on Friday (kick off 7.15pm).

The “Mules”, as Kenfig Hill are known, were down to play at The Gnoll on Boxing Day but disappointingly the game had to be cancelled due to the Coronavirus crowd restrictions which pertained to Wales.

Jonny Bayliss switches to full back with Iestyn Morgan deputising for Steff Williams who is unavailable as half back partner to Macauley Griffiths.

Much interest will surround winger Aaron Grabham who returned to Neath from Kenfig Hill earlier in the season but returns to Croft Goch on permit occasionally. On the other flank is young Ben Griffin while Iwan Johnes teams up with Ryan Evans at centre.

Up front, Jack Powell and Gareth Lloyd pack down either side of hooker Sion Crocker with Sam Langford partnering Ross O’Connor in the second row while the back row features fit-again Ciaran Comerford, Jacob Blackmore and Dyfan Ceredig.
