Neath will have a home tie when they launch their defence of the WRU Premiership Cup when they host Bargoed at The Gnoll in the quarter finals on Saturday, 5 December.
It will be the first time both sides have played in the competition this season as Bargoed received a walk/over against Bonymaen in the opening round and Neath had a bye. Neath beat Bargoed 16-13 in the Championship Cup final in 2022.
Bedwas, last season’s Championship double winners, will host Narberth after pipping Llangennech by a point in the first round. Beddau will host last season’s runners-up, Merthyr, while Pontypridd head to the Welfare Ground at Newbridge for a tough assignment.
Premiership Cup Quarter Final – Saturday, 5 December
2.00pm Kick-Off
Beddau v Merthyr; Bedwas v Narberth; Neath v Bargoed; Newbridge v Pontypridd
Bridgend Athletic will be hoping to go one better in the Championship Cup this season after falling 38-29 to Bedwas in last season’s final.
They began their quest to return to Principality Stadium with a 30-19 home win over St Joseph’s and their reward for that success is a trip to Glamorgan Wanderers in Round 2.
Llanharan, Division 2 Cup winners in 2024, had a Dan Palin try to thank for making it back-to-back wins at Blaina, last season’s Divison 1 Cup winners, in successive weekends when he scored to earn a last gasp, 36-33 cup win in Round 1. They now head to Glynneath in Round 2.
