North East Wales clubs are cup and at 'em this weekend!
A week after losing to North East Wales League double winners in the Premier Cup, Simon Sedgwick's side has a second opportunity to put a trophy in their cabinet. 'It will be another tough game against the league's form team, but it's a game we are looking forward to,' said Sedgwick. 'We have to take our chances when we are on top, and try to kill the game off, like we should have done last weekend. 'But saying that, the lads were gutted on Saturday and we are aiming to put that right. 'It wasn't our day last week and credit to Isa, for their second half performance.' Jack Brindley misses out but Kurt Isaac is back while Park, who finished third in the league, will by looking to Mike Latham (pictured left) to fire them to glory. 'We have had a good run of results but we won't go into this game with our eyes closed,' said a Park spokesman. 'Rhostyllen are a tricky team to beat and we expect a battle but the lads are looking forward to the challenge.' Mynydd Isa, meanwhile, are chasing a club quadruple. Last week's win over Rhostyllen sealed the first team a North East Wales Premier Division double and Isa's second string league winners can add the NEWFA Reserves Cup to the club's bulging trophy cabinet by beating Corwen tomorrow. There are five other finals at Airbus this weekend. Tomorrow, Broughton United take on Chirk in the U14s Cup while in the Girls U16s Cup, Airbus face The New Saints. On Sunday, all-conquering Coedpoeth United take on Lex U17s in the U19s Cup while in the U16s Cup, it's an-all Flintshire affair between Aston Park Rangers and Mold Alex. Also in the Women's final, Felinheli face Pwllheli.

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.
