Dunvant travel to nearest rivals Gowerton this weekend seeking to redress a shock 5-16 loss at Broadacre last October

This will be another tightly fought contest. Top of the table Dunvant have played 13, won 10 and got 47 points. 4th placed Gowerton have played 14, won 7 and drawn 1 for 38 points. However both clubs are the league’s leading point scores with 345 each. Dunvant are the league leading try scorers with 47 with Gowerton only 1 behind on 46. Gowerton shocked us last October when they went to passive scrums early in the game and Dunvant failed to adjust losing by 5 points to 16. Starch supporters are some of the noisiest in the league particularly at home and they will definitely be up for doing the double on Dunvant.This should be an absolute thriller and great atmosphere today with both sets of supporters on maximum volume.
Don’t forget you red and green supporters- respect the Referee, respect the players, respect our opponents and enjoy the game, whatever the result. Be Loud-Be Proud
Elsewhere Dunvant 2nd XV home friendly has been cancelled by Swansea Uplands but Dunvant Youth have now arranged a home friendly against New Dock Stars Youth
