The Robins knocked out local rivals Caersws in the last round, after a penalty shootout victory over Llandudno in Round One.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Airbus triumphed 3-0 away at Latham Park in the last meeting between the two sides on Boxing Day, following a 2-2 draw in August\u2019s reverse league fixture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-faw-card card-with-image-bg\"><div class=\"is-layout-constrained wp-block-group is-style-faw-card\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-block-button__link-card\" href=\"https:\/\/www.welsh-blood.org.uk\/blood-sweat-and-cheers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Book an appointment<\/a><div class=\"faw-cards__card__text p-4\"><h2 class=\"is-style-faw-h3 mb-4 faw-text--border\">Welsh Blood Service<\/h2><p class=\"faw-cards__card__text-p\">Donate blood and save lives<\/p><div class=\"btn-w-auto wp-block-button \"><div class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" aria-hidden=\"true\">Book an appointment<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-faw-card-background_bg\" style=\"background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(https:\/\/d20w35i08zcmee.cloudfront.net\/2026-01-17_ct_Newtown_v_Caersws-044-scaled.jpg);background-position:49% 18%\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The other tie in the Northern Section sees Guilsfield and Buckley Town go head-to-head at Clos Mytton on Saturday afternoon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two sides also met in the JD Cymru North last weekend, when Ryan Knott scored the only goal in a 1-0 win for Guils. That followed a 2-1 victory for Gavin Allen\u2019s side away at The Globe earlier in the season.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last weekend\u2019s win took Guilsfield up to fifth in the league table and they may still harbour promotion ambitions as they sit 11 points behind the top three but with three games in hand. After kicking off their Welsh Blood Service League Cup campaign with a 5-0 home win over Flint Mountain, the Powys outfit triumphed 1-0 away at Rhyl 1879 in the last round.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buckley currently sit eighth in the JD Cymru North, six points behind Guilsfield, having picked up just one point from their last five league games. However, Asa Hamilton\u2019s side have secured away wins over Holyhead Hotspur and Ruthin Town in this competition to reach the last eight.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Southern Section, Treowen Stars host Llantwit Major in a Friday night clash at the CCB Centre For Sporting Excellence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only one point currently separates these two sides in the JD Cymru South, with the Stars sitting in ninth place and Major in 10<sup>th<\/sup>.
