Danger Man
Harry Franklin - The 22-year-old showed exactly what he is about with his stunning strike against the Lakesiders last weekend. The Seasiders were struggling for a breakthrough before Franklin struck as his goal was a simply unstoppable volley from just outside Bala’s area. The midfielder has now scored a total of seven goals in his first full season at Park Avenue, proving the threat he carries from midfield. Franklin has built a formidable partnership with Mathew Jones in the midfield for Aberystwyth as this is where the visitors will possess the most danger.
Previous Meeting
Aberystwyth Town visited Maes Tegid last week in the Welsh Cup quarter-final where they fell to a 2-1 defeat. Dean Ebbe made all the headlines once again as he scored a brace to edge us through to the semi-finals. Harry Franklin gave some hope of a comeback late on with his wonderful strike, but it wasn’t enough as the Lakesiders hung on to progress in the cup.
