Following last week’s 33-19 win over Bonymaen Dunvant host former rivals Aberavon Quins at Broadacre this Saturday

Aberavon Quins finished 4th in last season’s Division 1 West Central behind Trebanos, Maesteg Harlequins and Bonymaen in a very tough league , having been promoted as 2015-16 Division 2 West Central Champions. We last met in 2013-14 in Division 2 West, Dunvant were promoted in the league re-structures to 1 West Central and Quins finished last but went into 2 West Central as part of the restructure. In 2014-15 they finished 4th before winning their promotion the following season.
Dunvant outclassed Quins in the 2013-14 season winning both games but it was a different story in 2009-10 when Quins beat us comprehensively home and away and Dunvant were relegated to Division 3
Dunvant started very slowly last weekend against Bonymaen going 12-0 down in the early stages to then find their feet for an impressive 33-19 win. Today will be another tough workout. The weather forecast is looking reasonable for Saturday afternoon so come on down to Broadacre and support the boys. It is a squad game and they will all get a chance to take part.

13/03/2014 Aberavon Quins 7 Dunvant 17 (D2 West)
21/09/2013 Dunvant 26 Aberavon Quins 15 (D2 West)
