The Gwent Gators carry on their 2021/22 campaign Saturday 17th of July with the Gators Orange away at Cardiff and with the Gators Blue playing away at Cardiff.
This Game-week is the copy of Game-week two, so the same sides will compete amongst each other.
INJURY REPORT
C - Huw Walford IR
WR - Matt Bourke returned last week and is cleared from the ankle thigh injury.
WR - Martin Peareth is still out indefinitely with a calf strain.
RB - Keenan Gibson has returned from his ankle injury.
QB - Dean Jackson has a groin issue which leaves him a game-day decision.
ONES TO WATCH
Gators Orange and Cardiff Coyotes have to deal with the monsters they created with both OTW's this week coming back to run rampage once more.
Center Chris Jones, (if he even had to) proved why he's one of the most reliable targets last week with a stormer of 6 TD's and 5 x 1pt Extra Points. Gators Orange and Coyotes DB's will have to make sure their tackling has improved in a short timeframe to try and limit Jones' play.
The quarterbacks will have another run for their money this week with Chad Stevens wrecking havoc once more. Gators Orange and Coyotes QB's once again face off against the Hurricanes blitzer and must try to work out how to limit his effect on the game.

COACHES CORNER
HC Dale Davies:
"Another game-week rolls around again and we reach the half way point of the Wales Division league campaign this weekend.
Gators Blue face off against the Hammerheads and the Trojans again in a repeat of game-week 2 however with an almost full strength squad available this week, we are hoping for some improved performance from the team, along with the continued good play from Liam Giles, Jan Coetsee and Jake Corbett, to help the Blues to gain some positive results this weekend against tough opposition.
Gators Orange, missing some starters on Defense and carrying more injuries than we have ever known a squad to have, are again up against the current UK Champs in the Cardiff Hurricanes and are aiming to improve on last game-week's performance of 62-0 loss.
Following that, we have the Cardiff Bay Coyotes, who have had an eventful week or so over their own and are also missing starters but with the last game-day last gasp loss, revenge will surely be on their mind.
as always... Good luck Gators!
OC Christopher Bartlett-Legge:
"Can't wait to see what we can do against the hurricanes this week with A bit more practice time as a unit and be more aggressive as a team as a whole in the game and give a better account of ourselves second time round.
Then against the coyotes I hope we don't have to pull another rabbit out of the hat and can come together earlier, a lot of respect to them though they are a completely different team to what they were even months ago. Expect to go 1-1 but have a more competitive game and showing against Cardiff."
DC Mark Studley:
"Week 3 gives us a rare opportunity to immediately try to correct our errors from week 2 with exactly the same opponents.
While the results definitely weren't what we wanted last time we felt that we played better on the day than the scores fully reflect. Hopefully we can tighten up a few parts of our game in the repeat, particularly our tackling on defence, and show more of what we feel we are capable of.
So far a few players have really impressed with their development this season, with players like Jan, Liam and Jake really showing how much they've improved. I'm looking forward to seeing that continue and am sure there are a few others in the squad that will enjoy the chance to show what they can do this weekend.
Jack and Dan coming back after missing a week and Dylan making his debut for us gives us exciting additional depth again, and we all know our tour MVP is due a breakout performance any game now, so we are looking forward to the chance to show what we can do and close the gap again after last time out."
The results and Game-day reviews will be up over the weekend once the fixtures have taken place.
