PREVIEWS

NFA v CPD PWLLHELI (Sunday 2 pm)

Cracking all-Tier 3 Welsh Cup tie in store at Ffordd Derwen, Rhyl, this Sunday.

Both NFA and Pwllheli are unbeaten this season in the North Wales Coast Women’s League.

Pwllheli are second with five straight wins, while NFA sit third with four victories and a draw.

In the last round, Pwll knocked out Adran North side Berriew away on penalties, while Rhyl-based NFA had a bye.

Pwllheli’s squad includes North Wales women’s football top-scorer in 2026-27, 20-goal Sian Moore. NFA have two players in the top five goal-getters in the North Wales Coast League- Baileigh Aaron and Amy Webster.

Since NFA was formed in 2021-22, the teams have met six times with four of them clashes occurring last season.

Pwllheli have won three, NFA two with one draw.

Sunday’s tie has the makings of a really close encounter with bags of experience in both squads.

HEAD-TO-HEAD

2025-26 (League): Pwllheli 2 NFA 2; NFA 3 Pwllheli 1

2025-26 (NWC League Cup Final): NFA 2 Pwllheli 4

2025-26 (NWCFA Challenge Cup): Pwllheli 4 NFA 1

2022-23 (League): NFA 1 Pwllheli 2

2021-22 (NWCFA Challenge Cup): Pwllheli 3 NFA 4

WREXHAM FORESTERS v CONNAH’S QUAY NOMADS

Two teams expected to be challenging for the Tier 2 Adran North title this season meet in the Welsh Cup at Stansty Park on Saturday.

Wrexham Foresters and Connah’s Quay Nomads have already locked horns twice in 2026-27.

In September, Nomads came out on top 5-1 in a Genero Adran Trophy group encounter.

It was much closer in a league game last month, when the teams drew 0-0 at Deeside Stadium.

Both squads are packed with talent and are used to winning things.

Nomads are back-to-back Adran North champions, while Foresters were runaway Central Wales North title winners last season.

Foresters will certainly be hoping a meeting between the clubs’ respective second strings last weekend doesn’t turn out to be an indication of what will happen on Sunday – Nomads U19s thrashed Foresters Reserves 11-1.
