A WELSH legend will be getting a welcome to Wrexham later this month.

Wrexham Rugby Club will be hosting an evening with Ken Owens next Friday.

Owens, who played for Wales on 91 occasions, may have some words of wisdom for Wrexham and their quest to finish the season in Division One North’s top-three.

They have played the waiting game to get action in 2026 underway, with last week’s big clash versus Caernarfon falling victim to the big freeze.

Wrexham will be hoping for better fortune as they head to Bethesda tomorrow.

Nant Conwy, nine points clear at the head of the rankings, will look to make the most of home comforts against Llangefni, while second-placed Pwllheli are on their travels to COBRA.

Colwyn Bay have hauled themselves out of the relegation zone and they will be aiming to maintain the positive vibes as they head off to third-placed Bala.

Elsewhere, Caernarfon and Ruthin are at home to Llandudno and Welshpool respectively.

Another Mold triumph tomorrow will put them on the verge of promotion.

The Chester Road outfit can boast 11 wins out of 11 in Division Two North and next up is tomorrow’s home encounter with third-placed Rhyl & District.

The side from the coast can still claim promotion themselves, but they need a win to cut into Mold’s 22-point advantage.

Second-placed Newtown, 14 points adrift of Mold, have a tricky game at Teirw Nant Conwy, who are fourth, while Abergele head to Dolgellau.

There are away days for Bro Ffestiniog and Denbigh against Llanidloes and Machynlleth respectively.

A trio of matches are lined up in Division Three North East and Rhosllanerchrugog have a tough trip to leaders COBRA Athletic.

Wrexham Athletic are off to Llangollen to tackle Bro Gwernant, while Flint entertain Mold Athletic.

In tomorrow’s only Super Rygbi Cymru encounter, Bridgend welcome Pontypool.

RGC are on a winter break until the end of the month.

Over the next few weeks, it is all about preparing for the Super League Cup as far as RGC are concerned.

The north Wales side are in Pool A, alongside Carmarthen Quins, Newport, Pontypool and Cardiff.

First up for RGC on January 24 will be their trip south to take on Pontypool, while the first home match-up will come against Cardiff seven days later.

With the cup about to take the spotlight, RGC’s next league encounter won’t be until March 21.
