Semi-final line-up for NEWFA Challenge Cup now complete

Airbus lifted the NEWFA Challenge Cup last season

Following Buckley Town’s withdrawal from the NEWFA Challenge Cup, the semi-final line-up is complete.

Two Cymru Premier-bound sides will take on Tier Four opposition for a place in the final.

Holders Airbus UK Broughton host Penyffordd Lions, while Holywell Town are home to FC Queen’s Park.

Last year’s final featured Airbus and Holywell, so a repeat may be on the cards, but one never knows.

SEMI-FINAL LINE-UP 2025-26

Airbus UK Broughton v Penyffordd Lions (Apr 28, 7.30 pm)
Holywell Town v FC Queen’s Park (TBC)
