Danger Man

James Crole: The 20 year old is on loan from Cardiff City for the season and has already shown what he is capable of, as he netted a first half brace against Briton Ferry Llansawel on the opening day. Despite not completing a full 90 minutes for the Bont as of yet, Crole has shown he will be an asset to Penybont this season with his superb movement with and without the ball, and certainly has an eye for goal.


Previous Meetings

The last two meetings between the two sides have ended in victories for the Lakesiders with a 2-0 and 2-1 victory in Phase One of last season. However, there would be a run of three consecutive draws between the two sides prior to the Town's last two victories, with two score draws and one goalless draw. The most recent victory for the Bont was a 2-0 victory on the opening day of the 2022/23 season, as a five minute brace from Rhys Kavanagh secured victory for the home side at the SDM Glass Stadium.
