El Tel's men await Saints in round three
El Tel's men await Saints in round three
Saturday 03 October 2009
THE Saints' reward for Welsh Cup victory at Conwy is a long trip to south Wales to face Welsh League opposition in the third round.
Cambrian & Clydach will provide the opposition for Andy Cale's men, a relatively unknown quantity that are best-known for their association with Terry Venables.
El Tel regularly visits Clydach Vale in mid-Glamorgan, where his mother grew up, to support the Cambrian Village Trust and is a keen supporter of the football club.
Managed by Richard Haig, who had a successful playing career with Inter Cable Tel, Ton Pentre and Cardiff City, C&C are currently lying fourth in the Welsh League, recently notching an impressive 2-0 away win at Bridgend Town and will prove a stern test for the Saints.
The third round draw in full:
Aberaman Athletic v Ely Rangers
Bala Town v Llanrug United
Caerau Ely v Afan Lido
Caersws FC v Coedpoeth United
Caldicot Town v Port Talbot Town
Cambrian and Clydach Vale v The New Saints
