SRC Grand Final Preview

SRC GRAND FINAL

The day has finally arrived! The Steelmen entertain Llandovery RFC at the CiNER GLASS Community Stadium in the Grand Final of Super Rygbi Cymru. This is the 3rd meeting between the two teams with the Steelmen winning at CINER GLASS and  Church Bank earlier in the season.

Jason Strange has made a number of changes to the squad from the semi-final over Newport RFC. Mitch Rankine retains his place on the wing with Alfred Bateman Lloyd starting in the back row in place of Ben Main. Corey Lewis plays his second game for the Steelmen at hooker on permit from Bridgend, while young Dragons hooker James Talamai retains his place on the bench. Dylan Burrows also comes into the match day squad. Dom Franchi continues as captain.

We caught up Dom Franchi recently to discuss the Grand Final…

Games don’t come bigger than this… the Grand Final going toe to toe with Llandovery. It’s going to be a great occasion for both teams with fans, families and friends all being present in what’s going to be a great game! We know it’s going to take a complete 80 minute performance to come away with the victory but as a group we are chomping at the bit to get on the field.

We know that Llandovery are a great team who are solid upfront and with pace behind but for us it’s about focusing on the things we can control and executing our game plan to the best of our ability.

Lastly I’d like to thank all the Ebbw fans who travel week in week out to games supporting us whatever the weather forecast might be!

We really wouldn’t be playing in these types of games without you. We all look forward to seeing you all pack the bank on Sunday and we as players will do our best to get over the line.”
