Coleg Y Cymoedd and Cardiff and Vale College have already booked their places in the top-tier competition with convincing wins over Llandrillo and Glantaf.
But they will be putting their unbeaten records on the line when they clash at Merthyr RFC’s Wern Sports Park in the battle of the Group 1 leaders at 14:30. Cymoedd have shown their attacking threat in big wins over Llandrillo and Glantaf, and will be looking to stretch their lead at the top of the group.
Llandrillo are out to enter the Trophy competition on a high in-front of the S4C television cameras when they take on Glantaf at Parc Eirias on Wednesday afternoon.
The North Walians are searching for their first triumph in the Wednesday College league after. But they are hoping to repeat the success that Wales Under-20s found at their Parc Eirias home when they kickoff at 14:30 on Wednesday.
Llandrillo face Glantaf side who are also waiting for their first win, and Rugby Academy Coordinator Andrew Williams wants to see his side play to their potential in Group 1.
He said: “It’s been a disappointing start to the season and we haven’t been good enough in our fundamental skills. We need to be better in and around the contact area and tighter in defence. We know Glantaf are going to come here determined to get a win as well, so we’re looking to impose ourselves on the game.
“The boys will relish the chance to play at such a fantastic venue after seeing the Wales Under-20 boys do so well here, and they will be out to impress their friends and family who will have the chance to watch them on television.”
It’s a similar story in Group 2 where Coleg Sir Gar and Gower College clash at Llandovery RFC knowing they are guaranteed a spot in the Cup competition. Gower College have racked up 12 tries in victories over Newport High School and Neath Port Talbot College. But they will be up against a mean Sir Gar defence, who have conceded just 11 points against the same opponents.
Newport High School and Neath Port Talbot College are searching for a first victory this season. The pair clash at Newport High at 14:30, looking to send a statement before the trophy competition gets underway.
Cowbridge Comprehensive must beat Group 3 rivals Bridgend College to guarantee a place in the Cup. But Bridgend will be looking for a big win to leapfrog Whitchurch High School, who have one win and one defeat from their matches, to give themselves a chance of a playoff.
Pembrokeshire College can sit back knowing they will take part in this season’s Cup after wins over Group 4 rivals Llandovery College and Coleg Gwent. Ystrad Mynach hosts a crunch clash between Coleg Gwent and Llandovery College at 14:30. Whoever triumphs on the 3G pitch will earn a playoff to decide who enters the cup competition.
