Easter derby date is changed
THE Easter Premiership derby match between Neath and Aberavon has been put back 24 hours to Easter Sunday, March 31 (2.30pm).
The decision has come to avoid a clash with the "Judgement Day" clashes at the Millennium Stadium involving all four Welsh regions.
Neath v Aberavon is the first part of a derby weekend at The Gnoll with South Wales Scorpions taking on North Wales Crusaders in a televised rugby league clash on Easter Monday (3pm).
Neath's postponed Premiership match against Llanelli has been rearranged for Tuesday, April 16 (7.15).

Neath coach Patrick Horgan said: "We've got a fantastic few weeks of rugby ahead in Neath.
