Match Preview

On Friday 5 January at 7.30pm we play our first away fixture of 2024 when we travel to face Airbus at the Hollingsworth Group Stadium in Broughton (postcode: CH4 0DR).

Airbus are flying high at the moment and top the JD Cymru North, a point ahead of Flint and seven points ahead of Holywell. However, it hasn't all been plane sailing for the side who play next to an airfield as both Flint and Holywell have games in hand which could enable them to close the gap or even overtake the Wingmakers.

Over the festive season, Airbus played a double-header in the league against Gresford Athletic. They were held to a goalless draw by the Wrexham area side in Broughton on Boxing Day and then won 3-0 in Gresford on New Year's Day thanks to a double from James Davies and a further goal by Joseph Palmer.

We have faced Airbus once already this season, in a league match at Nantporth on 28 October. On that occasion, we took the lead thanks to a first half goal from Craig Whelan but ending losing 2-1 after a second half double from George Peers.

Friday's match is sure to be a tough encounter, so please try to make it along to support our team as they seek to build on their recent pair of wins against Porthmadog. Many thanks to all our fans who turned out in great numbers and provided vocal support to our as we took maximum points from our festive fixtures on Boxing Day and New Year's Day.
