Mid District Premiership Cup
Pontypridd RFC, in conjunction with the Mid District Rugby Union are excited to announce a new competition for the Mid District’s member clubs that participate in the Admiral Welsh Premiership – the new Mid District Premiership Cup, for the 2024/25 season.
There are five Mid District clubs competing in this season’s Welsh Premiership – Pontypridd, Merthyr, Bargoed, Brecon and Ystrad Rhondda, and the results of Premiership matches between these sides will form a ‘mini-league’ adjacent to the Welsh Premiership.
When the Mid District member clubs play each other a Premiership win will earn the victorious side 3 points for the Mid District Premiership Cup standings. Should any teams draw against each other they will take 1 point apiece into the Mid District Premiership Cup table.
Come the end of the Welsh Premiership season, which is scheduled to finish on April 26th, the top two in the five-team league will then compete in a Grand Final to determine who will be Mid District Premiership Cup Champions.
Here are the Premiership results involving the Mid District teams to date and as an upshot, the make-up of the current standings:
14/9/2024 –
Pontypridd 34-19 Bargoed
28/9/2024 –
Merthyr 61-10 Ystrad Rhondda
Please note that points for and against will be recorded because if two teams end up being tied on league points, then points difference will be used to determine who progresses. Each team will finish with 8 in the ‘Matches Played’ column so there are a maximum of 24 league points on offer for each club.
So, confirmation – an extra exciting new competition for the Mid District member clubs in 2024/25, and a third official major trophy of the season on offer for Pontypridd, Merthyr, Bargoed, Brecon and Ystrad Rhondda.
