Team to play Mumbles

Tycroes travel to Mumbles in Specsavers National Two West tomorrow afternoon (Kick Off 2:30pm)

Third place Tycroes will be looking to maintain their excellent recent form and build on their 17-29 win against Kidwelly last weekend.

Tycroes have won their last 4 fixtures against Mumbles including the league double last season. Tycroes won the last meeting between the two sides 17-19 at Underhill Park back in January 2019.  

Tycroes have also won on their last 2 visits to the ‘Seasiders’ ground and have not lost to Mumbles since April 2016.

In form Tycroes have won their last 5 league matches but have not won 6 consecutive league fixtures since April 2017.

Tycroes have won 8 out of their 12 league fixtures this season. Hot on the heels of tomorrow’s hosts Mumbles in second place.

Mumbles recorded a 20-20 draw, that’s the score, not the year against Milford Haven last weekend. Mumbles have also won 8 out of their 12 league fixtures. Just 2 points separate the two sides in 2 West. So, on top of what is always a much-awaited fixture, there is a lot at stake.

Tycroes make 7 changes to the starting XV that beat Kidwelly last time out.

Tycroes again have a number of players sidelined through injury and the strength of the squad will once again be tested.

Ben Thomas starts on the right wing with Elgan Grifiths moving into the centre. Scott Davies replaces Dean Bromham at outside half with Aled Rees Jones retaining the full-back shirt

John James returns in the second row to partner Callum Davies. Dylan Cooper comes in at hooker to replace Shane Roberts and pack down alongside Luke Stratford and Trystan Morgan.

2 changes in the back row see Will Evans replace Daryl John and Matthew Lemon moves from centre to number 8 in the absence of Steffan Jones. Sam Icke continues at openside flanker
