At Stradey Park last September Dunvant were winning 15-19 on 60 minutes in a really tough contest. A red card saw Dunvant battling bravely with 14 men for the last 20 minutes only to concede a last minute converted try for Wanderers to claim a hard fought victory. At Broadacre we have so far won on all 3 occasions we have met but Wanderers always battle hard for the full 80 minutes.
In 9 games played so far Wanderers have beaten Kidwelly away and Dunvant, Tenby & Yr Hendy at home. Their 5 defeats have come away at Gorseinon & Gowerton, and home against Felinfoel, Llangennech and Kidwelly last time out. So 9 games played, 6 home, 3 away for 4 wins, 17 tries , 4 bonus points & 20 league points in 8th place. In contrast Dunvant have played 8, only 3 home and 5 away, won 5, scored 26 tries, have 6 bonus points for 24 league points after 2 points being deducted for failing to travel to Aberystwyth. We are currently 6th but all the teams above us have played 10,11 or 12 games so far, so a victory today will help Dunvant to keep pace with the leaders.
Dunvant will need to dig deep today and need the red and green army to be 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, wherever you are. Be Loud-Be Proud
