NATHANIEL MG CUP REPORTS – TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19

Nathaniel MG Cup holders Bala Town crashed out of the competition on Tuesday night with a 1-0 defeat away at JD Cymru North side Guilsfield.

Following a goalless first half, Joe Haycock struck in the 66th minute to send Nathan Leonard’s side into the quarter-finals.

Gresford Athletic defeated Buckley Town in the third round for the second year in a row, triumphing 1-0 away at the Globe.

Haci Ozlu’s goal in the 44th minute proved to be the difference as he chipped the ball over Bucks goalkeeper Ryan Goldston.

JD Cymru Premier leaders The New Saints have reached the quarter-finals for the first time in five years thanks to a 4-1 home win over Porthmadog.

Josh Daniels opened the scoring inside five minutes before Port’s Shaun Cavanagh quickly levelled, but Ben Clark, Gwion Dafydd and Adrian Cieslewicz all found the net to earn victory for Craig Harrison’s team.

The tie between Prestatyn Town and Colwyn Bay was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch at Bastion Gardens. A new date will be announced in due course.

The Nathaniel MG Cup quarter-final draw will be shown on RedWall+ at 8pm on Thursday 21 September.
