Pre-match views
Coach Anthony Wright: "It's always great to start the season at the stadium, especially for the new boys who have joined and those who have stepped up from the under-18s.
"The boys have had a good pre-season, especially in the Nathaniel MG Cup and against other Welsh sides, so we're looking forward to re-starting league football on the right foot now."
