GAP Connah S Quay FC are preparing for a Welsh Cup match against Bangor City 1876 this weekend. The all-Adran North encounter comes as the Nomads aim to maintain their impressive momentum across competitions, having recorded ten wins, one draw, and two defeats from their 13 league games.
The club enters the cup tie in formidable league form. They are second in the Cymru Premier with 31 points from 13 games, having won their last five matches. Their most recent outing was a commanding 4-0 victory over Porthmadog on Saturday 16 October. This run of results, which includes a 2-1 comeback win at Briton Ferry on Friday 9 October where J. Hodkin and M. Woodcock scored second-half goals, has them just six points behind leaders The New Saints. Their recent form of five wins and no draws or losses, which also includes victories over Penybont, Barry Town, Cardiff MET, and Airbus UK, underlines their consistency.
Strong league form underpins cup ambitions
This Welsh Cup fixture is part of a busy period where several clubs are juggling multiple competitions within a fortnight. For the Nomads, their unbeaten start to the league campaign provides a solid foundation for their cup ambitions. The team has scored 30 goals while conceding only nine this season, giving them a goal difference of plus twenty-one.
Broader Welsh Cup landscape
The cup is in focus across North Wales this weekend with several other ties scheduled. Wrexham Foresters, early front-runners in the Adran North, host Hawarden Park. A local derby sees Flint Town United welcome Airbus, while other matches include Berriew against Pwllheli and Llandudno facing Llanfair United. These fixtures follow a period of Adran Trophy and league action.
GAP Connah S Quay FC's immediate focus is handling this cup test before a key league encounter. Their next Cymru Premier fixture is an away trip to face table-toppers The New Saints on Saturday 31 October, a match that could significantly shape the title race.
