Abertillery back in Cup
Abertillery RFC have gone back on their decision to withdraw from the Principality Cup.
The club had told the WRU that they would not travel to Aberavon for their fifth-round tie in protest at the handling of the botched draw.
The move was in support of Division Two side Brynmawr who pulled out of the competition after the Union refused to sanction a re-draw.
But Abertillery have re-assessed their decision and will fulfil Saturday's fixture.
The fifth-round draw, made live on BBC Radio Wales, saw Pontypool initially drawn against Carmarthen Athletic - who had been knocked out of the competition in the previous round!
The Gwent side were eventually paired with Cwmavon.
Brynmawr followed Carmarthen Athletic out of the hat and may have expected the chance of a local derby with Pontypool, the Division One leaders.
The draw for the sixth round of the Cup will be made on BBC One Wales, Saturday 21 December, 'Wales on Saturday,' 1630-1715 GMT
