Barry host their penultimate Admiral League fixture of the season this Saturday when Llanishen visit the Reservoir Field (2.30pm ko).

The Bombers will be looking for revenge for their 29-12 defat at Llanishen in January.

Barry host their final league fixture the following week when Division One East Central leaders St Joseph’s are the visitors to the Reservoir Field. Promotion-chasing St Joseph’s are unbeaten after 15 games, having won thirteen.

Barry’s youth team are also in action at the Reservoir Field on Saturday when Merthyr RFC are the visitors for an East Wales Premier League fixture. Barry began their Premier League campaign last month with a 31-12 victory over Builth Wells, while Merthyr have won two of their three fixtures.

And this Sunday, Barry’s under-16s are in Cardiff Rugby Cup action when they take Tonyrefail in the Plate semi-final. The match is being staged at Merthyr RFC (kick-off 1.50pm).

Around the Vale, Penarth's own Division One title hopes were killed off on Saturday after a 23-21 defeat at Abercynon.

The Bears dropped to third in the table, seven points behind St Joseph's - who they'll play at home in their final game of the season on April 26th.

Cowbridge also lost ground on their Division Two promotion bid as they slipped to fourth after going down 31-16 to Cardiff Quins.

With just two games of their season to go, Cowbridge are just three points off the promotion places, although their main rivals St Albans do have a game in hand.

Llantwit Major were beaten 39-15 at Llantrisant in Division Three.
