Warriors 22 - 32 Ospreys

   The Warriors crashed to their third successive defeat when they took on the Neath Swansea Ospreys at the Brewery Field on Saturday. With players unavailable due to World Cup call ups and injuries Lyn  Howells was left with no option but to pick an unfamiliar looking team. Nuthall played in the centre, Emyr Lewis was called in at full back and Aesia Havili was demoted to the bench with Richard Mustoe taking his place.

   Also, only a crowd of approximately 2000 attended due to a mouthwatering premier division clash between Pontypridd and Llanelli at Sardis Road.

   Zippy will provide a report soon.
