The Word Cup, also known as the Welsh League Cup, is regarded by many as the second most important domestic Cup Competition in Wales. It is open to all 12 Welsh Premier League teams, 6 teams from the Huws Gray Alliance and the Welsh League and 4 wildcard entries based on merit or achievements over the previous season.
With the Wellmen doing the treble last season, and our performances in the Welsh Cup Competition, we are pleased to be accepted into the competition as one of the Wild Card entries. Last year’s winners (TNS) and Runners up (Bala Town) will enter the competition in Round 2.
At the Welsh Premier League AGM held over the weekend, the draw was made for the first round and Holywell Town have been drawn to play fellow Cymru Alliance side Buckley Town, the date is yet to be confirmed.
