Match Preview – Pontypridd v Bargoed

Pontypridd RFC welcome Bargoed RFC to Sardis Road on Thursday 24th August. The match, which kicks off at 7:15pm will conclude Ponty’s pre-season schedule.

Both clubs have had productive pre-seasons, Ponty have wins against Pontypool and Cinderford under their belts whilst Bargoed beat Porth 24-21 on Saturday 12th August, before losing a close-fought contest away in Bristol against Dings by 28 points to 17 last Saturday.

The Welsh Championship side will no doubt prove a stern test for Ponty having narrowly missed out on promotion to the Welsh Premiership at the end of last season. Thursday evening’s match will be a final chance for Ponty to fine-tune the team and its player-combinations ahead of a mouth-watering season opener against old foes Cardiff in the league on Saturday 2nd September.

Garyn Smith in action for Ponty as the team won 29-10 at Bargoed Park back on Saturday 23rd September 2017.
