Last Saturday saw a big win at Swansea where we got off to a flying start in the new SRC Cup Competition. On Friday we get back to the important business of league rugby when we travel to The Talbot Athletic Ground to face an Aberavon team who are in the unusual position of being at the wrong end of the league table. This game, of course, is the rearranged fixture after the first attempt was abandoned at half-time due to torrential rain and a flooded pitch. Let’s hope that the weather is kinder to us this time.
Newport: Harry Fry, Tyler Olding, Garin Harris, Joe Peard, Josh Skinner, Lewis David, Scott Davies, Ben Roach Captain, Luke Crane, Matt O’Brien, Elliot Frewen, Barney Nightingale, Iestyn Galton, Ashton Hewitt, Carwyn Penny.
Replacements: Henry Palmer, Tom Workman, Ollie Drake, Josh Reid, Kyle Tayler, Dafydd Buckland, Jac Lloyd, Chay Foster-Smith.
Referee: Craig Evans
AR1: Nathan James
AR2: Harvey Purnell
Kick-off: 7:30 PM
Venue: Talbot Athletic Ground, Aberavon
Aberavon RFC has announced that in light of this game being a replay of the abandoned game, admission to the ground will be £5 for all categories.
