BUOYANT Pontypool have been further boosted by the availability of Pontypridd forwards Sven Cronk (pictured) and Matthew Lloyd.

Both have been dual registered and will add considerably to Pooler's resources when they are able to use them.

Cronk, the former Newport captain, has been bracketed with Uni Moa at tight head prop for tomorrow night's Welsh League First Division game against Glamorgan Wanderes at Pontypool Park.

Pooler, with two impressive wins so far, make five changes, one positional. Ben Jefferies comes in at centre, with Stephen John moving to the wing while up front Ian Jones, Arthur Howarth and Cae Traherne are brought in.

Pontyool: J Griffin, C Landry, B Jeffries, J Hawker, S John, B Hayward, N Lloyd, G Gunter, I Jones, S Cronk or U Moa, J Sulway, M Powell, A Howarth, A Lloyd, C Traherne. Replacements from rest of squad. Kick off 7.15pm.

Newbridge, on the receiving end against Pontypool on Saturday, hope to bounce back against Aberavon at home tomorrow night.

They make a string of changes, Jonathan Williams, Stuart Pennell, Gareth Bisp, Mike Spencer, Leighton Davies, Steve Llewellyn, John Bowd and Martin Ackerman all starting.

But a double blow is the loss of Alun Harries and Huw Lock, both with groin injuries. Newbridge: Jonathan Williams, S Pennell, A Green (captain), S Webley, G Turner, Jason Williams, G Bisp, M Spencer, L Davies, P Taylor, C Blunsden, S Llewellyn, J Bowd, M Ackerman, G Gladwyn. Replacements: G Patterson, M Sage, A Price, D Williams, A Edwards, G Howells, S Greedy. Kick off 7.15pm.

Cross Keys have rung the changes for their home league match against Rumney tomorrow night (7.15pm) at Pandy Park with selectors looking at several options. With an influx of new players this summer and only 12 of last season's squad having been retained, the coaches have made nine changes from the side that made a dramatic fight back to beat Dunvant 23-19 on Saturday.

In the backs, Rhys Potter comes in at full-back, while Morgan Lovell replaces David Price at centre and Chris Arnold replaces Sean Marshall on the wing.

Fly-half Gethin Worgan who has scored 61 points in the last five matches, including two league games, is on the bench after picking up a knock against Dunvant with Chad Bushell replacing him.

His half-back partner James Pizey makes his first league start for the club. There are two changes in the front row, while Martin Jones replaces second-row Paul Davies.

Paul Watkins joins brothers Dean and Andy Gibbs in the back row, replacing Steve Gardener, who drops to the bench.

Cross Keys team: R Potter, G Davies, R Davies, M Lovell, C Arnold, C Bushell, J Pizey, G Stroud, L Gardner, D Crimmins, M Jones, K Stewart, P Watkins, D Gibbs, A Gibbs.Subs: G Thomas, G Worgan, N Hope, G Hicks, B Fischer, P Davies, S Gardner.Players meet at the club at 6pm.

Blackwood, like Gwent rivals Pontypool and Cross Keys with two wins out of two, wait for fitness tests on four players before naming their side for tomorrow's home game against Llanharan.

Centre Andrew Price (knee), hooker Andrew Peacock (neck), lock Wayne Sims (back) and flanker Craig Clements (thigh) are all doubtful.

Blackwood from: D Brown, G Rees, D Starr, D Morris, C Lay, A Price, L Humphreys, S Rees, M Jones, R Lewis, O Jones, J Price, P Harriman, I Jones, K Lewis, W Sims, M Tucker, I Jones, B Morris, J Powell, J Sims, C Clements, L Hamer. Kick off 7.15pm.
