Nathaniel MG Cup Round Three draw

The Round Three draw for the 2025/26 Nathaniel MG Cup has been confirmed. 

Split into Northern and Southern sections, the ties will be played on Wednesday 10 September. 

In the Northern section, cup holders The New Saints travel to Connah’s Quay Nomads who have won the competition on three previous occasions. 

Newtown’s first appearance in Round Three for four years sees them drawn at home against 2023 cup winners Bala Town, while there is an all JD Cymru North tie between Llandudno and Denbigh Town. 

Holywell Town caused the biggest shock of Round Two by knocking out Flint Town United, and the Wellmen’s reward is an away tie against Caernarfon Town.
