Match Preview

RGC v Pontypool at Parc Eirias Sat. 5th. March K.O. 14:30.

It's gonna be a cracker!!!!

Pontypool have only lost twice this season, both times to Swansea. They have, however, been the only team to beat Merthyr this season, no mean achievement considering how well they have been playing this season!

RGC have shown a massive improvement this year and have not lost a game in the Championship so far. They have also had two excellent results against Premiership opposition in the Swalec Cup, beating Aberafon, who were top at the time and a narrow defeat to Carmarthen Quins, a game which in my opinion RGC should have won 36 - 25. (Don't get me started on that again!)

I have put some stats together below which show how close together the two teams are in comparing results against other Championship teams.

There is every chance that Saturdays game could be the Game of the Season in the Championship. Both teams will be up for this match but I have a feeling that this could be the first time RGC will claim a Pooler scalp in the three years we have played against them in the Championship.

RGC must maintain the pressure on Bargoed to keep that 4th place that is essential to gain promotion to the Premiership next season and that desire will, I'm sure, give RGC the edge to clinch the win. GOGOGOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
