Pontypool RFC V Bridgend Ravens RFC – WRU National Cup Quarter Finals

***** Looking for the Pontypool RFC V Merthyr RFC Semi Final *****

Promotion chasing Pontypool RFC are once again looking to pull off another giant killing after the great display in the last round against Cross Keys. This time with a much anticipated home game at the iconic Pontypool Park. This round brings the visit of Bridgend Ravens Rfc in the WRU Nations Cup quarter finals with a place in the Semi Finals at stake. With the clubs locked at 2 wins each in past Cup encounters can Pooler come out on top?

Come and support Club rugby at Pontypool RFC V Bridgend Ravens RFC

Come along and join the Pooler Army in supporting the boys at the Ponypool RFC V Bridgend Ravens RFC game sponsored by TPS Construction this Saturday, 23rd March at 14:30. There is an entrance fee of £5 (on the Gate) with under 16s free, what a great opportunity it is to see local live rugby and continue the vibe created by Welsh Team. We know that regulars to club rugby wont need the motivation to attend but its a great time to get the wider community back involved with Club Rugby.

With Wales winning another Grand Slam, why not get out and support your local rugby Clubs? If your local side are not playing this weekend get along to any of the WRU National Cup Quarter finals as they all look like brilliant ties. We have listed the others below.

22nd March 2019 Kick off 19:05

23rd March 2019 Kick offs 14:30

We look forward to seeing you along with a bumper crowd at Pontypool Park this Saturday to cheer on the Boys
