Newcastle Emlyn, promoted from 3 West last season are currently in 6th place with 4 wins out of their last five games which is the same as Dunvant. In our last two meetings, both at Dol Wiber, exciting battles have seen an 18-18 draw earlier this season and a 30-30 draw in 2012. On their last visit to Broadacre in 2011, Dunvant had a comfortable 43-12 win. This game will have an added edge with former Newcastle Emlyn lock forward Hayden Baldwin, who played against us last September, now resident in Swansea with Dunvant makes his Dunvant 1st XV debut, having been selected for our last two postponed games. Both sides have only played once since Xmas so the winner will probably be the team who has best blown off the cobwebs.
With Maesteg Quins playing in the Swalec Plate, victory for Dunvant will see them stay top. Skewen playing at bottom placed Aberavon Quins can draw level on 44 points with a bonus point win,
but Dunvant would have won one more game. A try bonus for Dunvant coupled with victory will secure 1st place for a further week at least.
