Three of the top five teams in Division 3 East Central A will be hoping to keep alive their hopes of making a short trip to Principality Stadium for the final of the Specsavers National Bowl when they all play in the fourth round on 7 December.

Two of the clubs, table-topping Canton and fifth placed Fairwater, meet in a league match this weekend. The other team from their league still involved in the Bowl is Penygraig.

Canton, who won the Division 3 East Central B title last season, will have to travel in Round 4 of the Bowl next month after being drawn against Rhymney. They are currently fifth in Division 3 East.

Fairwater will have home advantage when they host Bryncethin, who are currently top of Division 3 West Central B, and Penygraig will welcome Llanybydder, of Division 3 West A.

Unbeaten Baglan, of Division 3 West Central A, will host Banwen, from the league below them, while table-topping Aberavon Green Stars, who are also in Division 3 West Central A, welcome Tylorstown. Caerau Ely, who play in Division 3 East Central B, face the biggest rip of the round with a long trek to Aberaeron.
