LWDWLL

After suffering a loss in their previous game against The New Saints in Premier League action, Caernarfon Town will be aiming to make amends here.

Declan McManus (7', 59'), Adrian Cieślewicz (16', 47') and Blaine Hudson (90') scored for The New Saints.

Caernarfon Town have been good when going forward leading up to this encounter, scoring 7 times in their previous 6 matches.
