Aberystwyth Town FC have been handed a Golden Opportunity to exact revenge for their Welsh Cup Final defeat to The New Saints in May 2014 after the sides were drawn together in yesterday's JD Welsh Cup Third Round Draw.
The sides last Welsh Cup meeting took place at the Glyndwr University Stadium in Wrexham two seasons ago, when two goals from Chris Venables put Aber within reach of the Trophy, but a late comeback from the Saints ensured they grabbed the glory and the Cup with a narrow 3-2 win, which was agonising for the Seasiders' superb following on the day.
TNS have been drawn at home in this season's tie and the Black and Greens are thrilled to be involved in a game which surely has to be billed as the Tie of the Round, featuring two of last season's Top Four in the Dafabet WPL. The Match will be played over the weekend of December 5th, ironically one week before Aber visit TNS for a Dafabet WPL Match!
