Mold Alexandra have landed a plum tie at holders The New Saints in round three of the Welsh Cup.

The third-tier Welsh National League Premier Division side, who eliminated Llanrug United 8-1 on Saturday, face a much bigger test when they travel to Park Hall in the last 32.

Among the other attractive third round ties is the meeting between Cymru North high-flyers Colwyn Bay and Cymru Premier strugglers Airbus UK Broughton.

The lowest-ranked side left in the competition, Abertillery Bluebirds, will welcome Cymru Premier leaders Connah’s Quay Nomads.
