This season’s Genero Adran Trophy Quarter-Final ties have been confirmed following Sunday’s Round of 16 matches.
The full knockout stage draw was made after the group stage, meaning clubs went into the weekend’s encounters knowing their potential opponents for the last eight. All Quarter-Final ties will be played on Sunday 20 December.
The only two second tier teams remaining in the competition, Connah’s Quay Nomads and Carmarthen Town, will go head-to-head at Deeside – the first time both sides will appear in the Quarter-Finals. The Nomads were 5-0 winners over local rivals Flint Town United in the Round of 16, while the Old Gold defeated Cwmbran Celtic on penalties following a 2-2 draw.
Genero Adran Trophy holders Wrexham triumphed 5-0 away at Llanfair United in the Round of 16 and will now travel to two-time winners Swansea City, who edged past Barry Town United 1-0. The tie is a repeat of the 2024/25 Semi-Final, when the Swans were 3-2 winners.
Cardiff City were the biggest winners in the Round of 16 as they thrashed Pontypridd United 11-2 and they will now host Briton Ferry Llansawel who were also convincing victors – triumphing 7-0 against Cascade. The Reds have reached the Semi-Finals in each of the last two campaigns, while the Bluebirds won the competition in 2024 and were beaten finalists last season.
Cardiff Met’s five Genero Adran Trophy wins is the most in the competition’s history and the Archers will travel to 2025 winners The New Saints. TNS triumphed 6-1 against Genero Adran North leaders Wrexham Foresters in the Round of 16, while the Archers were 2-1 winners over fellow top-flight side Aberystwyth Town.
The New Year will bring the Semi-Finals on Sunday 24 January 2027, while the final will be held on Sunday 7 March 2027.
