Welsh Cup: home ties for Vale clubs

Barry Town United and Llantwit Major have been given home draws against lower league opposition in the Welsh Cup second round.

Llantwit Major booked their place after being tested by South Wales Premier League club Ely Rangers in last Saturday's 3-2 win at Windmill Lane.

They'll face Ardal South West club Morriston Town, who won 3-2 away at Ardal South East club Caldicot Town.

The twelve Cymru Premier teams enter the fray along with sixteen higher-ranked clubs from the second-tier Cymru North and Cymru South leagues.

Barry Town United begin their cup campaign at home to Caerau Ely - one of eight Cymru South teams who were given a first round bye after finishing at the top end of the table last season.

Barry, under manager Steve Jenkins, reached the fourth round of last year's competition, missing out on a quarter final spot when they lost to Colwyn Bay.

Elsewhere, Cardiff Bay Warriors - who beat West End 2-0 last Saturday - are handed another home tie in the second round as they face Rogerstone.

The Gwent County League club provided one of the shock results of the first round when they won 3-1 at Ardal South West outfit Ynysygwern.

Ties will be played on the weekend of Friday 18th and Saturday 19th October.

The draw was also made for the first round of the Bute Energy Women's Welsh Cup - with Barry Town United facing a trip to near neighbours Cardiff Met on Sunday 20th October.
