Denbigh Town returned to Central Park on Friday night taking on league leaders Flint Town United. The Silkmen took a two goal lead before a late own-goal set up a tense finale, but the visitors held on to take a vital three points. It followed on from a superb 7-0 away win at Llanidloes earlier in April.

Bangor 1876 made it back to back wins on Saturday as they ran out convincing 4-0 winners away at Llanidloes. It was their second match in a row down in mid-Wales that saw them edge out Guilsfield two weeks previous 2-1. Saturday’s win saw Bangor secure a top-five finish in their first season in the JD Cymru North.

Head-to-Head

Our last meeting with Bangor came at Nantporth back in August, with the home side taking the points in a 2-1 victory. Sam Jones and Jamie Petrie netted for Bangor whilst Craig Pritchard pulled one back in the second half.

We met three times last season with Town taking all three victories, including two at Central Park. One came in the league as Denbigh pipped Bangor to the title with help from a 1-0 win via a Matthew Worrall strike, whilst the other match in Denbighshire ended 3-1 to Denbigh as skipper Paul Fleming scored a sensational hatrick on route to winning the Lock Stock Ardal Northern League Cup.

Stat Pack

Ben Lockley could make his 37th appearance of the season on Tuesday, he has started every game of the campaign and is the only ever-present left in the squad.

The Denbigh Town Golden Boot is up for grabs as Nathan Brown leads (16) but is closely followed by Josh Lock (14) in all competitions. Brown leads in the league with 14.

This will be just the sixth league meeting between the two sides since 1929. We’ve shared seventeen seasons in the previous 131 years, with the first coming in 1893/94 in the old North Wales Coast League, the next two (1909/10, 1910/11) in the Combination League, three further seasons in the Coast League (1913/14, 1919/20, 1920/21) and the majority (1921-29) in the Welsh National League. After 1929 the two wouldn’t meet in the league until Bangor were relegated to the Cymru Alliance in 2018, 89 years later.

Total League Record: Denbigh Town Wins: 10, Bangor Wins: 20, Draws: 3.
