Welsh Cup draw - tough away day for Caersws

RHYL will face current Principality Welsh Premier League Champions TNS in a mouth-watering Welsh Cup Round Four clash at Belle Vue.

Mid Wales' other remaining side, Caersws, have been rewarded for putting out local rivals Llanidloes with a tough trip to Port Talbot Town.

The Lilywhites have been rewarded for knocking out one of the pre-tournament favourites, Neath, with another of the most fancied teams. But, having already disposed of the star-studded Eagles away from home, Greg Strong’s side will relish the underdog tag at home against the full-time outfit.

The only all-Welsh Premier League tie will see Nev Powell’s Bangor hosting Derek Brazil’s Haverfordwest County at Farrar Road.

The holders of the competition will be aiming for a 20th successive win under Powell’s management of the Citizens in the competition.

Carmarthen Town, who lifted the Trophy in 2006/07, will be pleased with a home draw against the 1997/98 finalists, Connah’s Quay.

Prestatyn Town and Bala Town are both on the road, but the two eliminated semi-finalists of last year, will both fancy their chances of a quarter-final place against Steve Walters’ Rhos Aelwyd and the students of UWIC respectively. The Cyncoed-based Welsh League 3 team are three divisions below Colin Caton’s side but they will offer a stern challenge in their modest surroundings in North Cardiff.

 Cefn Druids will host the winner of Saturday’s clash between Llanelli and Aberystwyth at their new Rock Stadium, whilst the only match to not involve a Welsh Premier League team sees Cardiff Grange ‘Quins host Bridgend Town.
