Following their keenly-contested win over Narberth last week, Neath visit Trebanos on Saturday (kick off 2.30pm).

Trebanos have yet to win this season having lost in a demanding start to Cardiff Metropolitan, Ystalyfera, Cross Keys and Pontypool but Neath will not be under-estimating them in any way and coach Patrick Horgan says, “We have never had an easy time there in the league and it will be no different on Saturday.

“We have ground to make up on Pontypool so we need to focus from the start and get our game running accurately and smoothly.”

As usual, Neath make squad changes with last week’s finishers full back Jon Bayliss, scrum-half Nicky Griffiths, hooker Josh Clark and lock Ioan Jones starting and centre Sean Wilcox, wing Ryan Griffiths, prop Jonny Thomas, and back rower Carwyn Sion coming into the team.
