NWCFA Junior Cup: Holders Bro Goronwy land home first round tie, Bangor 1876 away to Llanelwy

Holders Bro Goronwy have landed a tricky looking tie at home to Holyhead Hotspur Reserves in the opening round of the NWCFA Junior Cup.

The teams met at the quarter-final stage of last season’s competition and Bro won 3-0, but in an earlier round Hotspur had caused an upset by beating Gwynedd League Glantraeth 2-1, so cannot be taken lightly.

Bangor 1876’s first adventure in this historic cup will take them to Vale of Clwyd and Conwy League Premier Division side Llanelwy Athletic.

The home team, while carrying the name of St Asaph, are based at Coronation Gardens, Rhyl, so there should be a good crowd at the Corrers next month.

Nefyn United, Junior Cup winners two years ago, have an attractive-looking home tie against Anglesey League Cemaes Bay to come.

Newly-named Trearddur Bay Bulls, known as Bryngwran Bulls last season, will welcome Machno United to Lon Isallt.

Bryngwran were beaten finalists last term, while Trearddur Bay United lifted the Junior Cup back in 2008-09, and their reserves were runners-up in 2014-15.
