Holders Ruthin Town have landed a tricky tie at Flint Mountain in the last 16 of the 2022-23 NEWFA Challenge Cup.

Cymru North outfit Ruthin know they will not be able to take Aden Shannon’s ever-improving tier 3 Ardal North West side lightly.

Other stand-out ties include the all-Cymru North battle at Halkyn Road between Holywell Town and Mold Alexandra.

And a cracking contest will be expected at Clappers Lane, where Gresford Athletic and Chirk AAA are due to lock horns in another pairing of tier 2 Cymru North teams.

Meanwhile, two tier 5 sides have been drawn together in the shape of North East Wales Football League Championship Ruabon Rovers and Holywell United.
