Barry Town United are top of the Cymru Premier after winning their opening four games of the season, while four teams are still waiting to get off the mark.
Two of those clubs at the bottom of the league are Haverfordwest County and Trefelin – two clubs who have failed to score in their opening four games, while The New Saints are the only team yet to concede a league goal.

Connah’s Quay (4th) v Cambrian United (7th) | Friday – 19:45
Connah’s Quay have risen to 4th place after an excellent run of three consecutive victories.
The Nomads are the league’s top scorers (12 goals), with the attacking trio of Hussein Mehasseb (4 goals, 1 assist), Callum West (1 goal, 5 assists) and Harry Franklin (3 goals) proving particularly fruitful so far.
It was a sweet away victory for Cambrian United at Haverfordwest County on Friday, with the club moving out of the bottom six (Hav 0-3 Cam).
This will be the first-ever meeting between the clubs as both teams look to continue their fine form.

Llandudno (5th) v Haverfordwest County (14th) | Friday – 19:45
After winning their opening three games following promotion over the summer, Llandudno’s perfect start came to an end away at Pen-y-bont last Friday (Pen 2-1 Lldo).
It certainly hasn’t been a perfect start for Haverfordwest County, with the Bluebirds still without a point or a goal after four games.
Following last Friday’s 0-3 home defeat to Cambrian, Tony Pennock said it was the lowest he had felt in his four years as Haverfordwest manager due to a lack of desire from his squad.
Llandudno will therefore be confident of securing a positive result, having won their last 22 home games since losing 2-3 to Buckley in March 2025.
This will be the first meeting between the two clubs for 11 years, when Llandudno won 1-0 at Maesdu Park during the 2015/16 season.

Haverfordwest County: ͏❌❌❌❌
Cardiff Met (10th) v Briton Ferry Llansawel (8th) | Friday – 19:45
Cardiff Met suffered a 0-5 thrashing at home against The New Saints last Friday after James Clarke was shown a red card at the end of the first half for pulling one of his opponent’s hair.
At the Essity Stadium, Briton Ferry Llansawel were delighted after securing their first-ever victory over Flint Town United (FTU 0-1 BFL).
Briton Ferry Llansawel have defended effectively so far, conceding just three goals in four league games, while the victory at Flint Town United was their first clean sheet of the season.
The Reds have not lost any of their last five games against Cardiff Met (3 wins, 2 draws), but they will have to keep their former player Jasper Payne quiet, who is joint-top scorer in the league with four goals.
League form:
Cardiff Met: ͏✅✅❌❌
Briton Ferry Llansawel: ͏✅➖❌͏✅
Pen-y-bont (3rd) v Flint Town United (13th) | Friday – 19:45
Pen-y-bont are one of three unbeaten teams after four games and the Bluebirds will be hoping to maintain that record on Friday.
Flint, on the other hand, have endured a difficult start to the season, with Jack Thorn’s remarkable own goal last weekend summing things up (FTU 0-1 BFL).
And things aren’t getting any easier for Lee Fowler’s side as they prepare to face Connah’s Quay (h), Caernarfon Town (a), Cardiff Met (h) and The New Saints (a) in their next four games).
Pen-y-bont will be looking for revenge against Flint Town United after the Silkmen knocked Rhys Griffiths’ side out of the Welsh Cup on penalties following a goalless 90 minutes in the teams’ last meeting in December.

Trefelin (16th) v Ammanford (12th) | Friday – 19:45
Trefelin’s miserable start continues, with the southern champions sitting bottom of the table after losing all four of their games so far without scoring a goal.
It hasn’t been a much better start for Ammanford, who have picked up just one point from their opening four games.
Trefelin won both of their league meetings with Ammanford in the second tier last season, without conceding a goal (Tfl 2-0 Aman, Aman 0-4 Tfl).
Both clubs will be desperate to secure their first victory in the top flight in this big bottom-six battle.
League form:
Trefelin: ͏❌❌❌❌
Ammanford: ͏❌➖❌❌
Holywell Town (15th) v Caernarfon Town (6th) | Friday – 19:45
Holywell Town are still waiting for their first point since promotion following their latest home defeat against Barry Town United (Hol 1-3 Barr).
Caernarfon Town have moved into the top six after a victory at Trefelin on Friday (Tfl 0-2 Cfon), and Richard Davies will be hoping for a similar result against another of the newcomers this weekend.
Holywell Town have the worst defensive record in the league after conceding 15 goals in four games so far (3.75 goals per game).
Holywell Town have never beaten Caernarfon Town (2 draws, 5 defeats), although the Cofis needed penalties to defeat John Haseldin’s side in the third round of last season’s Nathaniel MG Cup.
League form:
Holywell Town: ͏❌❌❌❌
Caernarfon Town: ͏✅❌͏✅✅
Barry Town United (1st) v Airbus UK (11th) | Friday – 19:45
Barry Town United lead the pack after four wins at the start of the season, which is a remarkable record considering how many of their key players moved on over the summer.
Steve Jenkins will be desperate to continue the excellent start against Airbus, followed by a trip to Briton Ferry Llansawel, before travelling to Oswestry to face The New Saints on 5 September.
Despite winning half of their games so far and conceding less than a goal per game, Airbus have slipped into the bottom six after a 1-0 defeat at Colwyn Bay.
Barry have won their only two previous meetings with Airbus, both at the start of the 2019/20 season (Air 0-1 Barr, Barr 2-0 Air).
League form:
Barry Town United: ͏✅✅✅✅
Airbus UK: ͏✅❌✅❌
The New Saints (2nd) v Colwyn Bay (9th) | Friday – 19:45
After a fairly subdued start, The New Saints were finally back to their old tricks last Friday as they thrashed Cardiff Met in the capital (Met 0-5 TNS).
The champions have therefore kept four clean sheets in four games and are one of three teams yet to lose a league fixture.
Colwyn Bay sit in mid-table after defeating Airbus, but some tough tests are coming up in the next few weeks: Llandudno (h), Pen-y-bont (a), Connah’s Quay (h).
Colwyn Bay were the winners in the most recent meeting between the sides, winning 0-2 at Park Hall in March to secure their first-ever victory against The New Saints.
League form:
The New Saints: ͏͏➖✅✅✅
Colwyn Bay: ͏✅➖❌✅
