Drovers and Quins go head to head in Challenge Cup

Drovers and Quins go head to head in Challenge Cup

Something will have to give when Carmarthen Quins head to Church Bank to take on Llandovery in the third round of the Foster’s Challenge Cup.

Both teams have a 100% record going into the game, with the Quins, flush with success after downing Principality Premiership leaders Merthyr at home last weekend, seeking to stay on top of Pool 2 with another big win. It is also a re-run of last season’s Swalec Cup Final which the Drovers’ won at the Principality Stadium.

Cross Keys are a game behind Pool 1 leaders Newport and host their arch-rivals at Pandy Park. Pool 3 leaders Merthyr travel to reigning Premiership champions Ebbw Vale looking to pick up the pieces after last weekend’s defeat in Carmarthen.

Bridgend will put their unbeaten record on the line at Aberavon in Pool 4, while Neath will entertain Cardiff.
