<p class="mb-4">Last week, <strong>Llandovery</strong> made their longest trip of the season to North Wales, and this Saturday it’s the turn of <strong>RGC</strong> to travel south for <strong>SRC Round 4</strong>. RGC will be hunting a repeat of the result at Stadiwm Eirias where the visitors came away with the win.</p>
<h4 class="text-lg font-semibold mt-4">Recent trends</h4>
<ul class="list-disc pl-5 mt-2 space-y-2 text-slate-700">
<li>Last season: back-to-back fixtures vs Pontypool resulted in a home win followed by an away loss.</li>
<li>Festive weeks: away win at Bridgend, home defeat the following week.</li>
<li>RGC want to keep the momentum with a strong performance in Llandovery.</li>
</ul>
<h4 class="text-lg font-semibold mt-4">History at Church Bank</h4>
<p class="text-slate-700">Llandovery is a difficult place to get a result. RGC's last league win there was in <strong>2018</strong> — a 24–32 victory featuring tries from Afon Bagshaw, Danny Cross and Dion Jones, with Billy McBryde adding the conversions.</p>
<blockquote class="mt-6 border-l-4 border-sky-300 pl-4 italic text-slate-700 bg-slate-50 p-4 rounded">
<p>“We gave ourselves a mammoth of a job after conceding 5 tries in the first half due to our own errors... We’re not overly focused on the opposition — just ourselves. We’re going down with the mindset of leading from the kick-off.”</p>
