The students of Cardiff Met University produced the shock result of the Welsh Cup quarter-finals as they knocked out Cymru Premier league leaders Connah’s Quay 2-1 to end the Nomads’ hopes of becoming only the fourth team to complete the treble in Welsh football. The Nomads had already won the League Cup last month and…
Still very much in the race to win the Cymru Premier title, Bala Town present a bit of an anomaly. While Bet365 have them as 16-1 to pip The New Saints and Connah’s Quay Nomads to the title, on Oddschecker both Betfair and PaddyPower quote them at a far more generous 275-1… a staggering 17…
Caernarfon Town reached the semi-finals of the Welsh Cup with a resounding 4-0 win against Cefn Druids in last night’s first quarter-final.

With action in the Cymru Premier set for a weekend off for the quarter-finals of the Welsh Cup, the title race will resume on 6 March with Connah’s Quay in prime position to prevent a ninth successive title for The New Saints after this weekend’s 1-0 win against the reigning champions at Deeside Stadium, which…
