All-Rhyl town clash is stand out tie of FAW Women’s Cup’s second round north

Tie of the round in the next stage of the FAW Women’s Welsh Cup is undoubtedly the all-town derby between CPD Y Rhyl 1879 and NFA.

1879 were crowned North Wales League champions in their debut season and beat NFA three times in the campaign, twice in the league 1-0 and 3-0, and also 5-1 in the Welsh Cup.

Rhyl are now in the tier 2 Adran North League – a level higher than NFA, who were North Wales League runners-up in 2021-22.

NFA have made a strong start to this season and look a good bet to push for the North Wales title this term, so will be out for revenge when they face their resort rivals.

Amlwch Town’s reward for Friday’s 4-1 win at Llangefni Town is a home tie against Adran North champions Llandudno.

Pwllheli, who won 3-1 at Northop Hall in round one, have a big test at Cymru Premier outfit Aberystwyth Town. Pwll midfielder Katie Louise Bowe once scored a famous Welsh Cup winner as a Llandudno player at Park Avenue in 2016-17.
