Everyone at Aberystwyth Town FC sends their best wishes to Cardiff Met Ladies player Grace Corne, who suffered a nasty neck injury at Park Avenue yesterday afternoon.

The injury was so severe that the Welsh Premier Womens League Cup match against Aber Town Ladies had to be abandoned, but we are delighted to hear that Grace was released from Bronglais Hospital overnight and is back at home recuperating.

The Club would also like to thank Aber Town Ladies Team Player and Physio Ffiona Evans and Cardiff Met's Sports Therapist Chelsie-Jane Mason, whose prompt attention helped prevent Grace's injury turning into something worse.
A special mention as well to our very own John Waters and Nathan Perkins who both remained at the club hours after the game had finished to provide support.

Get well soon Grace and we look forward to welcoming you back to Park Avenue later in the season.

Connah’s Quay Nomads v Aberystwyth Town

Aber Town look to bounce back from a disappointing performance last weekend and regain their Top Six spot with a positive result away to Cymru Premier Vice Champions Connah’s Quay Nomads on the evening of Friday 13th (ko 7.45pm).

This game is viewed as one of the toughest on the fixture Calendar, but Aber can take heart from their last away match when they beat Cefn Druids by two goals to one fourteen days ago. Connah’s Quay themselves also managed a single goal victory over the Druids last night thanks to Priestly Farquharson’s goal.

With six points from their opening five matches Aber sit in seventh place, level on points with sixth placed Caernarfon Town, so their destiny is still firmly in their own hands, and a good run in the Autumn could be inspired by a big result this weekend. Town’s forwards Marc Williams and Luke Boundford are bang in form, but Manager Matthew Bishop will be looking for a defensive improvement after losing 2-1 to Airbus last weekend. Geoff Kellaway, Tom Price and Joe Phillips all appeared from the bench and helped the Black and Greens to a strong finish on Saturday, so will be pushing for spots in Friday’s starting line up.

Relentless Quay are of course formidable opposition, and they have made headlines already this season with notable results against Scottish opposition both in the UEFA Europa League and Tunnock’s Caramel Wafer Cup. They currently lie fifth in the Cymru Premier, three points ahead of Aber after two wins and three draws. Aberystwyth narrowly lost 2-1 at Deeside Stadium in August 2018, and will be aiming to improve on that score this time around.

Kick off at is at 7.45pm, and Deeside Stadium is on the main A548 through Connah's Quay on the left hand side travelling in the direction of Flint, inside the grounds of Coleg Cambria. The postcode is CH5 4BR. Be lucky on Friday 13th!

Saturday 7th September (ko 2.30pm)
Aberystwyth Town v Airbus UK Broughton

Aberystwyth Town host their first Saturday match of the season in two days time – and do so with an added spring in their step following an excellent 2-1 away win at Cefn Druids six days ago.

Aber certainly went through it  last week, with inquests happening left, right and centre following the heavy August Bank Holiday defeat at home to The New Saints. Town’s next match was always likely to be viewed as a season defining game, and, cheered on by a superbly loyal away support of over 35 Black and Greens fans, Aber passed the test thanks to Marc Williams’ stunner, and Geoff Kellaway’s dramatic 87th minute winner. A significant win saw Matthew Bishop’s men finishing a tumultuous week in the Top Six!

The challenge now is to kick on and cement the side’s Championship Conference berth – but Saturday’s match is a dangerous game for Aberystwyth. Cymru Alliance Champions Airbus have performed well in all four of their Cymru Premier opening games, losing narrowly on each occasion. They are certain to pick up points at some stage before long, and Aber will know that unless they are on their game, that could happen on Saturday. Airbus’ Squad has a number of faces familiar to seasoned Welsh Prem followers, and with onetime Black and Green Dave Roberts in goal, they have a connection to Park Avenue too.

Town will be boosted by the Deadline Day signing of Swansea City loanee Tom Price, and he will go straight into Aber’s squad as number 21.

The Match will be preceded by a minute's silence for Club Legend Bryan Pugh-Jones, who sadly passed away last week. Admission for this JD Cymru Premier clash will cost £7 for Adults, £4 for Concessions and just £1 for Kids. Consider yourself invited!
