Match Preview: Bala Town vs Cardiff Met



The Lakesiders begin their September at Maes Tegid with the visit of Cardiff Met, with the aim of returning to winning ways after losing our unbeaten start last weekend.


The Town's last outing against Penybont would bring our unbeaten start to a close, despite going a goal up early on, it would be a red card to George Newell just minutes after the goal which would change the game, as the Bont went on to secure a 2-1 victory with two second half goals.


Cardiff Met still have their unbeaten start intact, with three wins and two draws in their opening five league fixtures. Their last match would see them take a big three points from the Oval against Caernarfon Town with a 2-1 victory.

Danger Man

Ryan Reynolds: The Welshman has been in fine form to begin the season, scoring four goals in six appearances in all competitions and is now just one goal away from equaling his tally for last season whilst at Penybont. The Met's new number six will be looking to keep his side's unbeaten start intact whilst also adding to his goal tally.
