Neath RFC play their final home game of the season against Narberth at The Gnoll on Saturday (kick off 2.30pm) and it will be a chance for home supporters to bid a fond Gnoll farewell to some good and faithful servants – although the All Blacks still have four away games left.

Last month, Neath had to work hard for their 31-21 win at Narberth who are fighting hard at the bottom of the table. The Otters had a good win over Brecon last Saturday so Neath know that they face a strong challenge on Saturday.

The sole change in the starting line-up sees prop Gareth Lloyd return with Mason Morgan on the replacements’ bench where he is joined by lock Jon Barley and back rower Morgan Kneath while Rhodri Cole – Seren y Gem on permit for Pontypool against Swansea last week – will play his 50th game for Neath.

Outside-half Steff Williams, prop Gareth Lloyd and hooker Josh Clark are stepping down and along with back rower Morgan Kneath (medical duties) will make their last bow before what will be an appreciative home crowd.
