Brynley Toms and his Bedwas teammates open their 2016-17 Principality Welsh Premiership campaign against Pontypridd on Saturday September 3rd. After a busy preseason period, Steve Laws’ men have trained hard and are ready to go.
"We've had a good pre-season so are looking forward to the challenge," said fly-half Richard Powell, who has taken over as club captain from prop Dan Preece.
"Pontypridd will still be hurting a bit after losing to Ebbw Vale in the Premiership final last year but we can take confidence from last year when the boys dug in to win in terrible conditions. You've got to get stuck into a side as good as Pontypridd and work hard. Everyone has worked their socks off in pre-season and we are buzzing for the start of the season."
