Caernarfon Town will take part in their first-ever Cymru Premier Euro Play-Off final when they host Newtown at The Oval this Saturday (12 noon kick-off).

Since returning to the top flight in 2018-19 after a nine-year absence, the Canaries have met the Robins on nine occasions.

And there is nothing between the teams, who boast four wins apiece with one draw.

This season Huw Griffiths’ side had the better of things, winning 3-2 at Latham Park and drawing 1-1 at The Oval.
