Fourth place Tycroes will be looking to maintain their excellent recent form and build on their 18-7 win against Pontarddulais last weekend.

Tycroes have also won 3 out their last 4 fixtures at the Seagulls Moor Ground, but were beaten 27-14 on our last visit back in March 2019. Our last victory at the ‘Moor’ was a 14-22 success back in April 2017.

Tycroes have won 5 out of their 9 league fixtures this season. F&G are in 8^th position and  have won 4 out of their 8 league fixtures in comparison. Just 4 points separate the two sides in 2 West.

Start 2020 with a bang…Tycroes Rugby have won their first game of the New Year for the last 7 consecutive seasons.
