Caernarfon Town's defence of the FAW Welsh Cup will be televised live from the second round, with their trip to Flint Town United selected for broadcast on Saturday 17 October. The holders, currently fifth in the Premier League with 23 points from 12 games, face a repeat of last season's final against the same opponents.
The match at Cae-y-Castell kicks off at 19:45 and will be free to watch on Cymru Football TV, though viewers must create an account. It is one of three second-round ties chosen for live coverage, concluding a weekend of cup action across Wales. This fixture is a rematch of the final Caernarfon won 3-0 at Rodney Parade last season, and they also beat Flint Town 3-0 in the league on 4 September.
Flint, under new manager Danny Holmes, are aiming to halt Caernarfon's bid for a second consecutive final appearance. Caernarfon manager Dan Richards acknowledged the challenge. "I was hoping to avoid playing someone in our league specifically," Richards said, "but we will take it when it comes round."
The Canaries head into the cup tie following a 0-1 home defeat to Barry Town in the league, a result that interrupted a recent run of two wins and two draws from their last five matches. Their next league fixture is away to Airbus UK on 30 October, but the immediate focus is on progressing in the competition they won last term. Fans can check the team's upcoming fixtures and view the current standings.
