Airbus now know semi-final opponents in WBS League Cup

The line up for the semi-finals of the Welsh Blood Service League Cup is now complete.

Holders Airbus UK Broughton will be at home to Afan Lido, who beat Newport City 4-2 on Tuesday night to reach the last four.

In the other semi, Buckley Town will host Treowen Stars.

The competition is the Tier 2 league cup for clubs in Cymru North and Cymru South.

This season the format has changed. In the past there have been North and South regional finals, but from 2025-26 the competition goes fully national at the semi-final stage.

There will therefore onlybe one ‘Final’, with one trophy on offer, played at a neutral venue.

This restructure aims to increase the diversity of the fixture schedule for tier two clubs, while ensuring the competition continues to offer a competitive programme. The removal of Regional Finals aims to add more prestige to the new standalone Final.

The financial savings that the FAW makes from no longer running the Regional Finals will be redistributed to clubs in the form of prize money.

Both semis will take place on April 6.
