PONTYPOOL will face Merthyr at Ebbw Vale’s Eugene Cross Park for a place in the WRU National Cup final.

Pooler secured a place in the semi-finals for the first time since 1991 when they beat Bridgend in extra time last weekend.

Their reward is another crack at the Ironmen, who beat them at the Wern in the quarters last season, on Saturday, April 6.

The last-four clash will be televised live with a 5.30pm kick-off.

Pontypool's hat-trick of Championship titles could be confirmed on Saturday if they win at Cardiff Met and second-placed Narberth slip at Tata Steel.

The reward for Pooler is a promotion/relegation play-off on neutral territory against the team that finishes fifth from bottom of the Premiership.
