"FROM THE COACH"
"Welcome to today's match against Aberavon RFC. As always though a warm welcome is extended to the players and supporters who have made the trip from Aberavon."
"Obviously getting the red card on 23 minutes last week meant that we were really up against it, but we knuckled down and were in the game until the very end. Although we were disappointed with the result, we didn't fall behind until the 77th minute and there are positives to take out of that game."
"Neath is always a difficult team to play away and I'd like to thank our supporters who were pretty boisterous throughout the match and appreciated the hard work that the boys put in."
"Weather permitting; this should be a good game today. We've had some good matches against Aberavon over the last couple of seasons and they like to play a bit of football. Simon King and Nicky Lloyd have encouraged a running game so this should be a good match."
"We certainly need to be a bit more clinical to get the result we're looking for today but we didn't pick up any injuries last weekend so we're looking pretty good. We are unbeaten at home and are determined to stay that way as long as possible so today really needs to see some tight, clinical rugby."
"Enjoy the match."
