AFTER a break of two weeks from competitive rugby, Narberth andWhitland will be back in action when division one west leaguefixtures resume this Saturday.
The Otters will be home to Bridgend Athletic and the Borderersaway to the students of Uwic in Cardiff.
For the Borderers it will be their first league fixture for threeweeks as their last scheduled fixture at Bridgend Athletic could notbe played as the pitch was waterlogged.
Carmarthen Athletic are away to second-placed Tata Steel.
The round of return league fixtures started early in December,but after a period of regular league and cup rugby each week, theremainder of the season will be interrupted by enforced breaksbecause of the Six Nations internationals in February and March.Lead At present Narberth lead the league table with 46 points from14 matches but they are only seven points ahead of CarmarthenAthletic in sixth place, who like the other teams in the top sixhave a game in hand over the current leaders. Narberth are twopoints ahead of Tata Steel, but only three points separate theremaining top six teams, who include Whitland in fourth place on 40points.
Players, supporters and club treasurers thrive on regular matcheseach week and players get rusty without match practice, and withoutregular club rugby fans lose the incentive to attend or simply getmixed up as to when the next home game is.
In the intensity of competition in division one west it isdifficult to predict the table on Saturday night, and even more of alottery to forecast which team will end up as champions at the endof the season.
In the Carmarthen Tyre Services Championship West Wales PremierLeague, fourth-placed Whitland Wanderers will hold the aces at hometo bottom-of-thetable Narberth in the local derby, and CarmarthenDruids are home to Dunvant.
