WILL DUNVANT BE SKEWED OFF COURSE THIS WEEKEND? (8th Mar)

WILL DUNVANT BE SKEWED OFF COURSE THIS WEEKEND? (8th Mar)

Roger Knight6 Mar 2014 - 21:15

Top of the Table Dunvant travel to 3rd placed Skewen this weekend for another crucial league battle for both sides.

In Skewen’s last home game they destroyed Felinfoel 40-0, than last weekend suffered a similar fate themselves when away at Newcastle Emlyn they were beaten 50-0. However, for that game 14 of their first team were at the skipper’s wedding. Emlyn refused a request to re-arrange so a makeshift side, with passive scrums from the start, saw them field a scratch side with a 44 year old and two flankers who haven’t played for 2 years. The form guide bears no resemblance to this weekend’s forthcoming encounter, re-arranged from January 18th.
Dunvant are 8 points ahead of Skewen who have a game in hand. Last time out at Broadacre, in our first home game of the season, honours were shared 10-10 in a gripping battle for victory.
With 2nd placed Maesteg Quins having 4 games in hand over Dunvant and 3 over Skewen, victory is a must for both sides to maintain the title challenge.
