For the seventh successive season a new name will be etched onto the FAW Amateur Trophy on Saturday.
The question is, who will follow recent first-timers Conwy Borough, Cefn Albion, Mold Alexandra, Trethomas Bluebirds, Newport City and Port Talbot Town….CPD Dinas Bangor City 1876 or Pontardawe Town?
Saturday’s all-Tier 3 final at Park Avenue, Aberystwyth, will see Ardal North West champions 1876 clash with Ardal South West high-flyers Pontardawe from the Swansea area. Kick-off is 12.30 pm.
This will be Bangor’s first FAW Trophy final, while Pont were runners-up in the national knockout in 2018-19.
There has been no North Wales winner of the Trophy over the past three seasons. Time that changed as we’d won 9 of the previous 11!
The Citizens reached double figures for the first time this season – but certainly lot the last – at the expense of Tier 5 battlers Blue Bridge of Rhyl back on August 1, 2025.
Goals: Dylan Summers-Jones 2, Corrig McGonigle 2, Liam Morris 2, James Barry, Ben Owen, Logan Wiliams, Mike Williams OG.
Tier 4 Broughton were no match for 1876 at Bangor City Stadium on September 6, 2025.
Goals: Sam Jones 4, Josh Carey 2, Dylan Summers-Jones 2, Cai Owen, Corrig McGonigle, Jack Smith.
James Barry, Jack Smith and Logan Williams bagged the goals which sealed a 3-0 success at Ffordd Padarn on October 11, 2025.
Corrig McGonigle and Jamie Reed netted a pair apiece, Tommy Creamer and Josh Carey also on target as the Citizens hit six in from of a 727 crowd at the BCS on November 1, 2025.
Jamie Reed (2) and Louis Corrigan shared the goals as Bangor marched on into round five with a comfortable win at Parc Gwydir on December 20, 2025.
Two late goals from new signing Adam Long were needed to see off a hard-working Llangefni in this quarter-final on February 25.
Josh Carey had earlier given the hosts the lead from the penalty spot before Ifan Mansoor equalised early in the second half.
Phoenix took an early lead before the visitors hit back through Adam Long in first half injury time to make it one-apiece at the break on March 21.
The second half saw the visitors take total command, Josh Carey (2), Dylan Summers-Jones, Declan McManus, an Anthony Marshall own goal and sub Corrig McGonigle making up the magical seven.
