Pre-Match Thoughts:
Speaking ahead of the encounter, head coach Dan Fish said: “Looking forward to a big game against Llandovery this weekend.
“Another tough test for us against a quality team.
“We had a good performance last week and know Llandovery will challenge us differently to what Pontypool did, so it’s important that we get our detail right come Saturday evening.
“Three games left in the league before the play-offs and there’s lots to play for.
“We just want to make sure we put in a good performance and keep heading in the right direction.”
