The Lakesiders are back out on the road as we head to Old Road to take on newly promoted Briton Ferry Llansawel, after both sides recorded huge wins for their respective sides in the midweek.
The Town made a miraculous turn-around in midweek, after being 2-1 down in the 87th minute against The New Saints and managed to pull off the win by the 98th minute as goals from Alex Downes and Hussein Mehasseb completed the victory.
The hosts also pulled off a big win in midweek, as they managed to defeat table topping Penybont courtesy of a Tom Walters goal in the 76th minute, giving the Ferry their first three points of the season.

Danger Man
Thomas Walters: The 27 year old got off the mark in the JD Cymru Premier this past midweek, as Walters netted the only goal in a 1-0 win against Penybont, while giving Briton Ferry their first win in the league. Despite Walters only getting off the mark on MD9, he will surely be looking to add to his first JD Cymru Premier goal this weekend as his side look to build momentum after a difficult start. The Welshman certainly knows where the goal is, as he scored 14 goals in last season's JD Cymru North while also picking up 12 assists in 28 appearances.
Previous Meetings
The only two meetings between the sides have both ended in 2-0 victories for the Town, with one victory in the JD Welsh Cup in February 2023 with Chris Venables and Adam Roscrow on the scoresheet. Our recent meeting saw Alex Downes be the star of the show, as he scored either side of the half to collect the three points at Maes Tegid back in August this year.
