6th placed Dunvant travel to Stradey Park to face 8th placed Llanelli Wanderers, both teams with 1 defeat and 1 win so far.

On paper, Dunvant have won 5 of our previous 6 encounters with the Wanderers but at Stradey Park we scraped a 7-10 win last season and the year before in spite of our winning 77-15 at Broadacre we were humbled 22-8 in the away fixture.
In 2016 -17 whilst we were playing in the Championship, Wanderers finished 2nd to league winners Kidwelly. Last season they got off to a bad start losing their first six games,, played most of their games away whilst their new clubhouse was being built but came good at the end to finish in 8th place. This is a difficult one to call but Wanderers will have home advantage to spur them on.
Dunvant will need to dig deep today and need the red and green army to be on maximum volume.
Elsewhere, Dunvant 2nds have a home friendly against Pontyberem and our Youth host South Gower Youth in the Ospreys West Youth league.
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.
