Port Talbot and Afan Lido clash

Port Talbot and Afan Lido will clash in a fiercely-contested local derby in next month's third round of the Welsh Cup.

These two Welsh Premier League rivals face one another at the GenQuip Stadium in what is one of the outstanding ties of the round as both battle for a last-16 spot.

The draw made in Cardiff yesterday produced several potentially explosive ties with Bangor City entertaining Llanelli at Farrar Road in a repeat of last year's final and Welsh league first division high-fliers West End attempting to cause a major upset at big-spending Neath.

Carmarthen Town struggling to find their best form this season will not take anything for granted at home to ambitious Bridgend Town while Goytre United make the long journey to the North Wales coast to face Prestatyn.

Wrexham and Newport County,back in the competition after almost two decades out in the cold have both been favoured with home draws- against Airbus and Barry Town respectively.

Full Round Three draw : Flint Town v Newport Civil Service; Port Talbot v Afan Lido;The New Saints v Bryntirion Athletic; AFC Porth v Cambrianb and Clydach; Wrexham v Airbus; Carmarthen Town v Bridgend Town; Caersws v Llandudno Town; Buckley Town v Taffs Well; Neath v West End; FC Cefn v Aberystwyth; Newtown v Rhyl; Bangor City v Llanelli; Prestatyn v Goytre United; Newport County v Barry Town; Gap Connahs Quay v Cefn Druids; Merthyr Saints v Bala Town.

Ties to be played on the weekend of December 2 and 3.
