The Round Three draw for the 2024/25 Nathaniel MG Cup has been confirmed.

Split into Northern and Southern sections, the ties will be played on 17-18 September.

In the Northern section, cup holders The New Saints travel to Airbus UK Broughton – the early pace setters in the JD Cymru North this season.

Holywell Town are the reigning JD Cymru North champions and they are on the road at Bala Town, while Llandudno also travel to top-flight opposition in the shape of Aberystwyth Town.
