Cup holders City handed final reprise
Saturday 30 January 2010
Welsh Cup finalWELSH Cup holders Bangor City have been handed a quarter-final tie against their 2008 final opponents Llanelli.
City won on that occasion, 4-2 after extra-time, in a controversial showpiece at Latham Park that was marred by a pitch invasion.
And, since the arrival of manager Nev Powell at Farrar Road, the Citizens have gone 15 ties without defeat, beating Welsh League Aberaman Athletic in Saturday's fourth round.
The draw has thrown-up several tasty ties, with close rivals Prestatyn Town and Rhyl meeting at Bastion Road and both Welsh Premier fixtures between the clubs have ended in draws this season.
Victors at Aberystwyth, Port Talbot have been handed another tough match away to The New Saints, where they have already lost in the Loosemores League Cup and the league this season.
The only remaining non-top flight club, Afan Lido, have to travel to Maes Tegid to meet Bala Town.
The draw in full:
Bangor City v Llanelli AFC
Bala Town v Afan Lido
Prestatyn Town v Rhyl FC
The New Saints v Port Talbot Town
Ties scheduled to be played on Saturday 27 February 2010.
