Matchday Preview – Pontypridd v Llandovery
This Saturday 7th January Pontypridd play their first match of 2023 and their first at Sardis Road for four weeks as we host Llandovery RFC. The game in the Indigo Group Premiership kicks off at 2:30pm.
The clubs met twice in the space of two weeks last season, both matches at Church Bank. On Sunday 27th February 2022 tries from Ceri Morris, Cole Swannack, Dale Stuckey and Kris Parker earned Ponty an impressive 34-18 bonus-point win in the league. A little over two weeks later on Saturday 12th March, Llandovery took the spoils by 12 points to 3 in the quarter-final of the Premiership Cup.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the way fixtures have fallen in recent years, remarkably this is the first time the men from Church Bank have visited Pontypridd for over four years! The last time the two clubs met at Sardis Road was Friday 16th November 2018 – Ponty won a close-fought contest 18 points to 16 thanks to tries from Huw Dowden and Alex Webber as well as eight points from the boot of Lewis K Williams.
Pontypridd will be looking to get back to winning ways at home after three last-gap defeats on the bounce at Sardis Road at the back-end of 2022, your support of the team will be vital as always this Saturday.
