This Saturday 12th November Pontypridd welcome Merthyr to Sardis Road in the Indigo Group Premiership, the Valleys Derby match kicks off at 2:30pm.
It’s a return to action after a weekend off for Ponty in what has been a little bit of a stop, start period in the season following Wales’ match against New Zealand last Saturday.
Last season the two clubs met three times throughout the year. It was one win apiece in the Welsh Premiership Cup during the early months of last season. On Saturday 2nd October 2021 Ponty won a close contest 21-14 at Sardis Road, Merthyr avenged that defeat the following month at The Wern.
Earlier this year on Saturday 5th March the two sides met in the Welsh Premiership at Sardis Road, Cole Swannack scored a dramatic, late try to lock the scores together at 17-all before Dale Stuckey stepped up and kicked the conversion for a 19-17 Ponty win.
Pontypridd will be looking to get back to winning ways following an agonising, last-second defeat a week last Saturday at home against Llanelli.
