25 Sep Team to face Llandovery at the Brewery
Bridgend Ravens welcome reigning Super Rygbi Cymru champions Llandovery to the Electric Brewery Field on Saturday afternoon for their first home game of 2026/27 (2:30pm).
The Ravens picked up their first victory last weekend in a thriller with Pontypool at the Park. Bridgend raced into a xx lead at the break, before seeing off a late comeback from the home side to win 50pts to 38.
Llandovery are yet to register their first win of the season – tasting defeats at Pontypool (43pts to 41) and at home to Newport (46pts to 26).
Last season, the Drovers won all three matches between the sides. Ironically, the last time they played one another was also the Ravens last home match – way back in March, when the West Walians won 26pts to 18, despite a stirring second half display from Bridgend.
Two milestones are in the Ravens’ ranks this weekend: McCauley Rowley makes his 50th appearance and Harry Olding reaches the landmark of 100 Bridgend Ravens appearances. The squad otherwise is largely unchanged from last weekend’s success in Pontypool, although there is a welcome return for co-captain Zac O’Driscoll on Bridgend’s replacements bench.
