WHAT is it about Wrexham and the most testing of away days?
Having sat last weekend’s spot of national cup action out, they return to their Division One North programme with what is likely their toughest trip of the season.
Wrexham must tackle defending champions Nant Conwy in their own back yard in Llanrwst and this will come a fortnight after they travelled to Caernarfon, who produced a strong challenge for the title last season.
It’s the old adage of you have to play everyone over the course of the season and there’s been a promising start to the campaign from the point of view of Wrexham, who have won two of their first three matches.
Number eight Jack Harrison said: “We’re back to action this week after a weekend off due to a bye in the cup and we travel to Nant Conwy.
“It’s one of the toughest tests you get all season but it’s one we’re really excited about.
“They’re a good side who are non-stop for 80 minutes and will be even more fired up after losing at Pwllheli last week.
“But, for us, it’s how can we impose ourselves. Games between us in the past have often been fairly close and one error or mistake and the game gets away from you.
“We’ve got to go and front up defensively, work hard as a team and be clinical when we get opportunities. We need to ensure we do those things and see what happens.”
Nant are looking to bounce back from a rare defeat, with Pwllheli getting the better of them 13-6 last time out in the Welsh Division One Cup.
Second-placed Pwllheli go to Cae Ddol tomorrow for their match-up with Ruthin and Caernarfon, in third, are hoping to make the most of home comforts against Colwyn Bay.
Welshpool and Llangefni have respective away days versus Bala and COBRA to look forward to.
It’s been a brilliant start to the Division Two North campaign from Mold.
Two wins out of two are the ideal return for the Chester Road side, who will be making the trip Rhyl & District tomorrow.
Leaders Newtown are involved in the match of the day at home to Teirw Nant Conwy, with both teams boasting 100 per cent winning records, while third-placed Machynlleth go to Denbigh.
Abergele and Bro Ffestiniog have home contests with Dolgellau and Llanidloes respectively.
Shotton Steel will look to make it three wins out of three in Division Three North East as they entertain Denbigh Athletic.
Wrexham Athletic are at home to Llangollen-based Bro Gwernant, Flint travel to Mold Athletic and Rhosllanerchrugog welcome COBRA Athletic.
There’s familiar Super Rygbi Cymru opponents for RGC.
A week after hosting Llandovery in Colwyn Bay, the North Walians must face the Drovers away from home tomorrow.
RGC will be hoping they can bounce back from last week’s 41-31 reverse.
Cardiff play host to Ebbw Vale, Bridgend go to Aberavon and Pontypool welcome Carmarthen Quins.
