It's not often you turn up to a Division 5 match and expect to see two Wales internationals going at it, but that's exactly what fans were treated to at the Memorial Ground in Tonna.
It's no secret that Craig Mitchell, the former prop whose professional career spanned almost 15 years and included 15 caps for his country, is still doing the business at Tonna RFC - in a new position in the back-row, having shed more than three stone since retiring. He was front and centre when the club won the WRU Shield last season, beating 52-19 in the final.
But turning up in the Pontardawe ranks last weekend was former Wales No. 8 Dan Baker, who was on the books at the Dragons just last season and has a handful of Wales caps. This term, the 30-year-old is with Aberavon but has taken on a role as forwards coach at Pontardawe, though the clipboard was nowhere in sight this weekend as he trotted out into the middle.
