Tasty knockout clashes are lined up in NEWFA Cup action
The Flintshire side host Penyffordd Lions on the back of a 2-0 league win at Broughton United. 'It was a great win but it's early days so we won't get carried away,' said boss Scott Beck, whose side have won three games on the trot. 'Spirits are high in the camp. 'It's another tough game but with a strong squad available we go into the game with confidence.' Coedpoeth United's reward for winning 2-0 at Chirk AAA in the preliminary round is a trip to Johnstown. 'If we're on our game we should be confident but we all know how easy it is for standards to drop when you play a team from the league below,' said United boss Jack Pawley. 'There'll be a bit of rotation for us to keep it competitive.' After opening up with two cup wins, FC Queen's Park head to Skippy on the back of two defeats, including last Friday's 2-1 league loss at Chirk AAA. Park will be favourites to go through and so will Castell Alun if they can reproduce the form that saw them knock Llay Welfare out of the Welsh Trophy. Castell go to Caerwys while Ruabon Rovers will look to kick-start their season at home to Holywell United. Rhydymwyn head to Yr Wyddgrug while Aston Park Rangers are at home to Saltney Town. The action kicks off at Broughton United this evening with Hawarden Rangers making the short trip. There's one game in Division Two of the North East Wales League tonight with Cefn Druids at home to Sychdyn United. Meanwhile former Druids boss Jayson Starkey heads off on the road to Wembley tomorrow. Starkey has been appointed boss across the border at Whitchurch Alport, who host Runcorn Linnets in the FA Cup preliminary round. Vauxhall Motors, who are managed by former Connah's Quay Nomads defender Danny Holmes, head to Wythenshawe.
