Bridgend Athletic v RGC Brewery Field Sat. 23rd. Jan. K.O. 14:30

Can RGC break their duck at Bridgend?

A difficult fixture for RGC this weekend. There is a big difference in the results between playing away than at home.

The last two seasons results show good wins at home for RGC but close defeats away.

2013/14 season Bridgend Athletic 21------13 RGC.
RGC 57------ 6 Bridgend Athletic.

2014/15 season RGC 38------8 Bridgend Athletic.
Bridgend Athletic 18-----10 RGC.

Will this be 3rd time lucky for RGC at Bridgend? Both the previous away games have been played on the Newbridge Fields, a public park and playing fields that the Ath. have used for a long time. This season, some, if not all of their home games have been played at the Brewery Fields, the home ground of Bridgend RFC.

Will the Ath. be more inspired to be playing RGC at this ground? Or will RGC take this as an opportunity to play on a Premiership ground and show their own aspiration for future seasons and play a Premiership standard of game to clinch their first away win against the Ath?

The Ath. have played Merthyr twice this season and have lost both times but with a fewer points difference than RGC could achieve. They have also beaten Bargoed, no mean achievement and one of only four teams in the Championship to do so this season, RGC being one of them.

So, we have a tantalising fixture ahead of us! Will RGC win? I think it will be a very closely contested game but I give RGC the edge to come away with a narrow victory, their first at Bridgend. GOGOGOGS!!!!!!!!!
