Amman thrashed St Alban’s 39-5 in Round 4 last weekend and are well-placed to attempt a league and cup double as they currently lead Division 3 West B by five points with a perfect eight-from-eight record. Monmouth, mid-table in Division 3 East A, pipped Llantwit Major 12-10 to set-up the Round 5 trip.

Reigning champions Burry Port, hot on the heels of Amman United in the league, will host Division 2 North East leaders Wrexham having thumped Tylorstown 34-0 away from home last weekend. Wrexham secured their away tie after beating Trefil and Pontycymmer.

Last season’s beaten finalists, Taffs Well, have earned an away trip to Treherbert in their quest for redemption. They beat Newport HSOB 24-9 in Round 4 to book a trip to their Division 3 East Central A rivals, who are languishing in 10th place having won just two games this season.

The 2015 runners-up, Cambrian Welfare, are top of Division 3 East Central A and will host the side who are hot on their heels in the table, Cilfynydd. When the two teams last met on 26 November, Cambrian came out on top in a 22-21thriller.

Wattstown travel to Caerphilly after beating Bangor University 23-16, whilst Nantyffyllon play Milford Haven after both sides edged their way into the hat. Denbigh face a lengthy 112-mile trip as they go to Cardigan, who beat Betws in the previous round. The winner of Trimsaran and Swansea Uplands will play Baglan away from home.
