Club Statement: Neath RFC fixture (National Cup)

Pontypool RFC has today received correspondence from Mike Cuddy, who has formally confirmed that Neath RFC is unable to fulfil Saturday's WRU National Cup round 1 fixture at Pontypool Park.

As a result of this, the fixture will not take place and it is assumed that Pontypool RFC will be granted a bye and will progress to the round 2 draw accordingly.

Everybody at Pontypool RFC is very disappointed in this outcome, but we are equally sympathetic to Neath RFC's volunteers, remaining squad members and supporters.

We wish those who continue to act in the best interests of Neath RFC every success in overcoming their current difficulties.
