The Lakesiders head into today's clash with Flint with the aim of bouncing back from our 2-0 defeat to Haverfordwest County last Friday at Maes Tegid.
The Town head to the Essity Stadium with an impressive record against Flint, with no defeats in our last 10 meetings, and have only conceded six goals in those 10 meetings while scoring 22 goals.
The hosts sit just five points from the relegation zone, with Briton Ferry Llansawel sitting just below them with two games in hand over the North Wales side. Flint will be looking to build on their last outing, as they put four past Newtown in a 4-2 victory at Latham Park.

Danger Man
Elliott Reeves: The 27 year old got off the mark in the JD Cymru Premier on Matchday Six, with the only two goals of the match in Flint's first victory of the season against Aberystwyth Town. Reeves has since added another two goals to his tally, with the opening goal in a 1-1 draw against Briton Ferry Llansawel and Flint's third goal in a 4-2 victory over Newtown last weekend. The Forward will be eager to add to his tally once again, as Flint look to stay well clear of the relegation zone.
Previous Meetings
The Lakesiders are unbeaten in our last 10 fixtures against Flint, with eight league victories, one draw and a JD Welsh Cup victory. Our last meeting was at the beginning of this season, as George Newell scored either side of the half, with Osebi Abadaki providing the assist for both goals in a 2-0 victory at Maes Tegid. The last meeting that took place at the Essity Stadium ended in a 1-1 draw in the 2022/23 JD Cymru Premier season, with Chris Venables' penalty in the 67th minute was cancelled out by a Larnell Cole equaliser in the 90th minute.
