On Friday, The New Saints return to Novira Cymru Premier action at The Hollingsworth Group Stadium, taking on newly-promoted Airbus UK Broughton.
It was another positive result for the Saints in their last league outing, as they secured a 1-0 victory against Barry Town United.
Although they had to wait until the 88th minute for the goal to arrive, Rhys Hughes was in the right place at the right time to score for the fourth consecutive match and send his side top of the table in the process.
Head Coach Craig Harrison will be hoping to see his side's six-match winning run extended to this weekend's fixture against an Airbus side who've enjoyed a strong return to the top flight.
Of the seven matches they've played so far, four have ended in victory for Mark Allen's team, while the other three have been defeats. It's a sequence of results that leaves the Wingmakers in eighth place heading into Friday's match - a very respectable showing from the newly-promoted club.
Although the Wingmakers have been playing their football in the Novira Cymru North in recent seasons, the two clubs have still met sporadically in cup competitions.
The most recent of those meetings came in the second round of last season's Nathaniel MG Cup. On that occasion, it was a 7-1 victory at Park Hall for Harrison's side.
On Friday, Airbus will be in all-blue and the visitors in green and white hooped shirts, with green shorts and socks. The respective goalkeepers will be wearing all-yellow and all-orange.
Nick Pratt will officiate the game and he will be assisted by Richard Dolphin and Chimezirim Iweuke. John Jones is the fourth official, with Rob Jenkins and Mark Petch the video assistant referee and assistant video assistant referee, respectively.
Tickets for the match can be purchased HERE. Kick-off is scheduled for 7:45pm.
