The 2022-23 Nathaniel MG Cup Final will feature two North Wales teams

Hei pobol – get ready for an all-northern Natty showpiece!

This season’s Nathaniel MG Cup finalists will be Bala Town and Connah’s Quay Nomads.

Bala reached the final for the first time since 2015 after winning 2-0 in Saturday’s semi against last year’s runners-up Cardiff Met at Maes Tegid.

Captain Chris Venables put the Lakesiders in front in the first half as he managed to poke the ball home amid a goalmouth scramble, before the win was secured late on by former Wales international Dave Edwards, who smashed home a half volley on the edge of the box.

In the other tie at Deeside, cup holders Nomads progressed past Taffs Well to reach their third successive final.

The second tier side hit the post in the first half and kept the Nomads at bay for almost an hour, but eventually succumbed to a 2-0 defeat as Callum Bratley found the net and then Michael Wilde doubled the advantage after David Lyon had been sent off.

The date and location of this year’s Nathaniel MG Cup final will be confirmed in due course.
