Current Mid District Premiership Cup Standings
We are now well into the business end of the season and the Mid District Premiership Cup standings are taking shape. To quickly recap, the Admiral Premiership results from when the five Mid District clubs (Pontypridd, Merthyr, Bargoed, Brecon and Ystrad Rhondda) play each other are compiled to 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 season 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.
We are now well into the month of March and here are the Premiership results involving the Mid District teams to date, and the current table:
14/9/2024 – Pontypridd 34-19 Bargoed
28/9/2024 – Merthyr 61-10 Ystrad Rhondda
12/10/2024 – Ystrad Rhondda 14-22 Brecon
19/10/2024 – Merthyr 35-39 Bargoed
2/11/2024 – Bargoed 31-14 Brecon
9/11/2024 – Merthyr 28-25 Pontypridd
16/11/2024 – Pontypridd 43-11 Brecon
21/12/2024 – Merthyr 47-37 Brecon, Pontypridd 26-17 Ystrad Rhondda
25/1/2025 – Ystrad Rhondda 14-62 Merthyr
1/2/2025 – Brecon 51-10 Ystrad Rhondda
15/2/2025 – Bargoed 3-32 Merthyr
1/3/2025 – Brecon 26-42 Bargoed
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.
As can be seen from the standings it’s all to play for over the next few months, here’s the remaining Admiral Premiership fixtures that will shape the final Mid District Premiership Cup Standings:
22/3/2025 – Pontypridd v Merthyr
29/3/2025 – Brecon v Pontypridd
2/4/2025 – Bargoed v Ystrad Rhondda
12/4/2025 – Ystrad Rhondda v Bargoed
26/4/2025 – Brecon v Merthyr, Ystrad Rhondda v Pontypridd
10/5/2025 – Bargoed v Pontypridd
The Grand Final between the top two will be played in May 2025 at Sardis Road, on behalf of the Mid District Rugby Union we will announce the confirmed date in the very near future.
