CONNAH’S QUAY v BALA TOWN
The fixture between Connah’s Quay and Bala Town will be played this Tuesday night after the original match was postponed last month due to a burst water pipe in Flintshire.
Tuesday, 2 Monday
Connah’s Quay (6th) v Bala Town (5th) | Tuesday – 19:45
After a slightly slow start to the season, Connah’s Quay have climbed into the top half following two consecutive victories against Flint Town United and Pen-y-bont.
Although some doubted that Bala Town might struggle this year after the departure of Colin Caton, the Lakesiders are sitting in 5th place with a game in hand.
Steve Fisher’s squad have the best defensive record in the league (conceding 0.75 goals per game), but they have also had trouble scoring themselves (3 in 4 games).
This match was originally scheduled for the 15th of August, but the match was postponed as there was no water at the Essity Stadium due to a burst pipe.
There were controversial matches between these two teams in the period before the split last season, which was mainly due to the bad weather.
Connah’s Quay were 3-0 up against Bala Town at the Essity Stadium on the final weekend before the split, but the game had to be postponed after an hour of play due to thick fog.
The fixture was replayed three days later, and Bala Town turned things around and won 2-0 to nick the last spot in the Top Six at the expense of Barry Town United.
The postponement means that Connah’s Quay have not scored in their last three official meetings with Bala Town, and the Nomads haven’t won any of the last six league games between the clubs (D3, L3).
These two teams are level on points after four games, and a win for either side would lift them into second place, just a point behind league leaders, Caernarfon.
