Cross Keys welcome Beddau to Pandy Park this Saturday hoping to build on last week’s victory over TATA Steel, which was Keys’ first league victory since January.
There are a few changes to that side that defeated TATA last week. The only change in the backs sees Alex Upton replace Lewis Allwood on the wing, whose late try secured the victory last week secured the win over TATA. Up front there are two changes in personnel plus one positional change. Connah Vaughan comes back in to the starting lineup to replace Zac Hewlett at hooker whilst Dragons Academy prospect Max Ayling starts in the second row where he replaces Harvey Reader who is moved to the back row in place of Craig Fillier whose Keys debut only lasted 15 minutes last week after he suffered a nasty looking cut to the head, Reader will also captain the side in the back row.
