Llandaff North will be seeking back-to-back titles having run in a record 13 tries in their 85-14 cup final victory over Seven Sisters at Principality Stadium in April.
But they will have to be at their best against an Ynysddu side flying high at present and are seeking to mark the 10th anniversary of their women’s section with a landmark victory. They have won all six games in the Championship to date lead the table by two points from CRCC.
Llantwit Fardre and Haverfordwest are two more Championship clubs still in the tournament. Haverfordwest were beaten finalists in the WRU Plate final last season, and they will host Bonymaen.
Burry Port currently lead the way in the WRU Women’s Premiership with Llandaff North and Whitland just behind them with unbeaten records to date from their three matches. Burry Port host Caernarfon, who beat them 55-39 at home in the league.
Llantwit Fardre welcome Whitland to determine which team will be the last to make up the quarter-final line-up. Whoever loses will drop down into the Plate competition, where they have received a bye to the semi-finals.
There are only two games in the Plate quarters, with Porthcawl hosting last season’s Bowl runners-up, Old Penarthians, and Lampeter Town entertaining last season’s Cup runners-up Seven Sisters.
In the Bowl, Ynysybwl are six from six in the Central League, Wrexham are to dogs in the North and Pembroke and West Swansea Hawks are the top two in West.
