Dinas Powys v Seven Sisters
It was a good dress-rehearsal for Dinas Powys ahead of their Division 5 showdown with Seven Sisters as they made it 12 out of 12 in the Division 5 East Central title race with a thumping 64-5 win at Sully Sports. They are now only one win away from clinching the title.
Their cup final opponents, Seven Sisters, warmed-up for their big day out with a 41-0 home win over Taibach to say on course for a possible league and cup double. They are now 12 points clear of Rhigos at the top of the Division 5 West Central table.
Tonna are no strangers to Principality Stadium having won the WRU Shield at the home of Welsh rugby in 2022. They will meet Newport Saracens, third in Division 4 East, in the Division 4 Cup final.

Their preparations went well as they took revenge on South Gower with a 20-3 victory on the road. South Gower are the only team to have beaten Tonna in Division 4 West Central this season, but the cup finalists are now 11 points clear of Maesteg at the top of the table with four games to go.
Cardiff Quins, of Division 3 East Central, will be hoping to make it a hat-trick of wins for their club at #RTP234 after seeing their Girls Hub U16 and Youth teams both pick up trophies. They drew 8-8 at Penygraig in their dress-rehearsal, while opponents Blaina had a weekend off from league action.
The final game on Saturday 6 April will be the Division 2 Cup final between Porthcawl and Llanharan. Porthcawl is the club that helped in the development of current Wales captain Dafydd Jenkins.
They will be seeking to match their win at Principality Stadium in 2018 when they snatched victory with the last kick of the game in a stunning 33-31 win over Pembroke in the National Bowl final. The hero on that occasion was outside half Josh White, and he is hitting the target six years on.

They were big winners, 74-17, at Pencoed last weekend to ensure they remain in the picture for promotion from Division 2 West Central. Meanwhile, Llanharan triumphed 21-16 at home against Cowbridge to maintain their 100% league record this season.
Llanharan beat local rivals Bryncethin 32-24 to win the National Bowl final at the home of Welsh rugby in 2022 and are eyeing up a league and cup double two years on. With five games to play they lead Llanishen by 12 points in the race for the Division 2 East Central title.
