Cardiff MET travel to face GAP Connah's Quay FC in the Cymru Premier on Friday evening. The match at the Essity Stadium kicks off at 18:45 UTC.
Scott Young's side head north after a 1-1 draw away to Flint Town United last Friday. Joel Veale's second-half penalty cancelled out an early Flint goal, securing a point on the road. That result left Cardiff MET ninth in the Premier League standings with 14 points from their opening eight matches.
Their recent form shows a mix of results. Before the Flint draw, they shared the points in a 2-2 home game with Cambrian & Clydach. A 5-0 victory at Ammanford AFC and a 3-0 home win over Briton Ferry were positive steps, but a heavy 5-0 home defeat to leaders The New Saints remains a recent memory. The full run of recent results is available on our fixtures page.
GAP Connah's Quay will provide a stern test. They beat Airbus UK 3-0 at home last time out, though they lost 2-1 at Colwyn Bay the week before. Their last starting lineup featured Chris Renshaw in goal with a defence including Jordan Jones and Aron Hughes.
Cardiff MET's team against Flint saw Alex Davies start in goal. A back line of Joel Veale, Jack Clarke, Charlie Craven and Jack Payne was protected by midfielders Sam Jones and Lue Mwandwe. The attacking trio of Sam Dymond-Hall, Jamie Hooper and Tom Raison supported striker Sam Snaith.
The squad will be looking to climb the table ahead of their next home game against third-placed Penybont on 30 October.
