Top of the Table Dunvant are away this weekend to last season’s Champions Kidwelly who currently sit in 9th place.

Last season Kidwelly won Division 1 West by a huge margin of 12 points over 2nd placed Llanelli Wanderers and scored 96 tries, but lost the Championship two legged play off with Trebanos. This season Kidwelly are finding it more challenging and currently sit in 9th place with 4 wins from 13, their last win coming three games ago at home to high fliers Gowerton. Games against Kidwelly have always been hard fought battles and it will be no different today On our last visit in 2015/16 Kidwelly quickly racked up a 20-0 home lead against Dunvant, Dunvant fought back in the second half to lead 25-23 with 2 minutes to go, only to see Kidwelly snatch victory with a 45 metre penalty. This season Kidwelly have scored 27 tries in 13 games, accumulating 2 try bonus points and 3 losing bonus points. Dunvant have scored 45 tries in 12 games to earn 5 try bonus points. It looks like we are in for another thriller today so get behind the boys right from the start. 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 2nds are playing a friendly at Pontarddulais whilst Dunvant Youth are away at South Gower in the OD league so it will be quiet yet again at Broadacre for the 7th Saturday out of the last 10 without any home game for the 1sts, 2nds or Youth. However do the WRU expect clubs to survive with fixture lists like that!
