USW 1st face Cardiff Metropolitan University 4th in what could be an enticing encounter at the USW Sport Park on Wednesday.

USW 1st are yet to register their first victory of this year’s campaign with narrow defeats coming against Cardiff Metropolitan University 3rds (38-34), Cardiff University 4th (34-29) and University of Bristol 4th (43-39).

USW 1st continued to take a knock to their form last week as they lost 32-50 against a strong Plymouth University 1st in the BUCS Western Conference Cup.

Cardiff Met 4th will undoubtedly be looking to come away with their second league win on the bounce since defeating Cardiff University 5th away in Talybont (39-35).

This season so far, USW have scored one less goal with 102 and Cardiff Met scoring 103, however USW have conceded nine less than Cardiff Met who have been unable to keep their opponents at bay 124 times.

Elsewhere in the division, top side Cardiff Met 3rd face bottom of the league Cardiff University 5th. It is also 3rd Vs 2nd as Cardiff University 4th play Bristol 4th.
