Neath RFC start the pre season fixtures with a visit by Builth Wells to The Gnoll on Friday, August 11th with a 7.30pm kick off to accommodate their travel plans.

The Welsh All Blacks then welcome old friends from across the border on Saturday, August 19 when Richmond come to Neath – the game will kick off at 7.00pm due to cricket on the adjacent field.

Then the following Thursday (24th August), Neath’s oldest rivals Swansea visit for a 7.15pm kick off.

“Training is well under way and there is a great air of expectancy around The Gnoll and all three games will offer an early attraction for local rugby supporters.”
