Carmarthen Quins travel to the Brewery Field on Saturday, 13th September, to take on Bridgend Ravens in the opening round of Super Rygbi Cymru.
The competition returns for its second outing after a positive inaugural season.
The pre-season campaign has given the coaching team an opportunity to see some of the club’s next generation in action, whilst also giving newcomers a chance to bed in with the squad.
The Brewery Field has been a happy hunting ground for the Quins over the last two seasons and the side will be keen to get the new Super Rygbi Cymru campaign off to a positive start.
Looking ahead to the opening round, Quins Director of Rugby Steff Thoams said; “Going to Bridgend away early doors gives us a chance to hopefully pick up an early away win and then the following week we’ve got a score to settle with Cardiff.
“We were in games for 60 minutes (last season). There’s a big lot of learning for the younger players and, hopefully, this year we’ll be able to turn some of those 60-minute performances into a more complete performance.”
