Welcome!

The big game kicks off at 1.45pm so we are offering adult admission for £5 from noon till 1pm. After 1pm admission will revert to the ordinary matchday rate of £7.

There will also be a bar promotion of £2 a pint from noon till 2.30pm when our Welsh Cup tie with Cefn Druids kicks off. The offer is for draught beer only and covers bitter, lager, cider and Guinness. No other drinks are included in the promotion.

It is also the Mike Peters/Alarm  'Gathering'  at Pontins this weekend and we traditionally pull in quite a few fans from this event when we play at home.

This year's Gathering is no exception and we have received many email enquiries about the Druids game so there is a reduced admission rate of £5 to Mike's fans on production of ther event ID passes.

So far I have had emails from Alarm fans from as far as Scotland, Bristol, Yorkshire, Norfolk and London to name just a few places. I am sure all Town supporters will make them welcome on Saturday.

Meanwhile, away from Bastion Gardens, four local sides in the Vale of Conwy/Denbighshire League have signalled their ambition to climb the pyramid by applying for promotion to the Welsh Alliance next season.

Meliden, St Asaph, Prestatyn Rovers and runaway league leaders Rhuddlan Town have applied for the higher grade subject to their grounds meeting the necessary criteria.

Only champion clubs or runners up are eligible for promotion.

Jon Fisher Cooke headed Town into a 24th minute lead but Callum Wright's 62nd minute leveller kept the tie alive for the second leg at Latham Park on February 1.

In a game dominated by the strong wind this was the proverbial game of two halves - Town bossed the first while Newtown took the second, both sides getting equal help from the buffeting gales and squally rain.

There could have been more goals too - in the first period Ross Stephens saw a speculative 30 yarder almost catch Newtown keeper Nick Thomas off guard then Stephens hit the woodwork and shortly before the break the Robins' Steve Blenkinsop just failed to connect with Gareth Partridge's cross then fired over the bar from a shot on the turn.

In the second period the westerly gales picked up and made corners impossible, blowing three Newtown efforts into the crowd before they got anywhere near Jon Hill Dunt's goalmouth.

Before his goal, which saw him produce a strong run and clinical finish, Wright pinged a rising drive off the crossbar and with the visitors on top, Hill Dunt produced two quality saves to deny first Nick Rushton, palming his shot around the post to safety then tipping Jamie Price's goalbound effort to safety over the bar.
