Airbus and Holywell up for the cup with silverware at stake
The Wingmakers have home advantage as they tackle fellow Cymru North high-flyers Holywell Town in the final of the North East Wales FA Challenge Cup. Since just missing out on the league title, Mark Allen's side have gone on to win the Cymru North Cup and Cymru Cup over recent weeks. Airbus booked their spot in the final with a thrilling penalty shootout success versus Corwen in the last-four and Allen told the club's website: 'Last time out I was very pleased with those involved in the second half and the way they kept going in the game and got us back into it.' It has been a mixed campaign for Holywell, whose defence of their Cymru North title saw them conclude the season in third position. Boss Johnny Haseldin said: 'We have experienced the highs and lows as well, and we know which side we want to be on the end of on Saturday.' A feast of football is in store over the course of the weekend with a number of other North East Wales FA finals lined up. It all begins this evening with Rhostyllen meeting FC Queen's Park in the Horace Wynne Cup final.

There has been cracking cup joy for Mynydd Isa and Acton
But the league champions had to do it the hard way, coming from behind to beat Rhostyllen 3-1 in Saturday's cup final at Airbus. Sam Chesters set up top scorer Tom Douglas for Rhostyllen's opener in the last minute of the first half but Isa hit back after the break. Braden Lavin and James Beck struck in the first 10 minutes of the second half and Nathan Mendoza sealed the comeback 11 minutes from time. Rhostyllen could still end the season with silverware as they take on FC Queen's Park in next weekend's Horace Wynne Cup final. The Two Counties Cup final took place immediately afterwards at Airbus and in the battle of the two Championship sides, last year's winners Acton kept a hold on the trophy after a 2-0 win over Sychdyn, who had two players sent off. Liam Davies opened the scoring on the stroke of half time and Sam Giles' goal 10 minutes after the break sealed the deal.
