The hilarious way a Welsh football club celebrated their last game of the seasonFans and players of a Gwynedd football team celebrated their team's success in their first season back in the Welsh Premier League in spectacular fashion. Or should that be Mexican fashion? There were as many Caernarfon Town FC fans at Maes Tegid Bala to watch the match and many had brought along sombreros and ponchos to wear. And wear them they did and before the match they were joined by team manager Sean Eardley who also carried a huge, and obviously fake, cigar and equally large cigar. Sean, who has become enormously popular with Canaries fans, had urged fans to get to the ground well before kick-off having promised them a surprise.
Christian Fontana's side are second in the table, with Athletic nicely placed in fifth. Last meeting: Y Glannau 4 Athletic 3 (Oct 1, 2016). Key men: Mike Parkinson (Athletic) and Chris McQuillen (Y Glannau). Sychdyn v Offa Athletic (North East Wales League, Saturday 2. 30pm) Offa Athletic manager Chris Robert Two teams in fine form and with enough games left to launch a title challenge should be hard to separate at Wat's Dyke Way. Fifth-place Sychdyn are definitely a team to avoid at present. In midweek they annihilated Halkyn United 10-0 and in recent games have won away 3-0 at an always useful Caerwys side, as well as hammering Mynydd Isa Spartans 6-1 away in the Premier Cup semi-final. The Mold area villagers have won every match they have played in 2017 and are on a streak of nine straight victories, gap Connah's Quay the last team to beat them back in December.

Aber themselves were well beaten 4-1 at Connah’s Quay Nomads. Talking to the club’s official Twitter account, Eardley said he was looking forward to facing the Black and Greens. “(They way we finished against Penybont was) a massive positive and we’ve got to take it down to Aberystwyth. “They’ll probably be disappointed with that result (against Connah’s Quay) and they’re going to want a reaction. “It’s going to be nice and loud, think the university student are back at university but hopefully the Cofi army can come in their number and out sing them. “It promises to be a good atmosphere and a very good game.

“We’ll have to be really up for it too like they were against Aberystwyth but I’ll back them (the players) all day. “They know the accolades they’re being given for the European games and the Scottish Challenge Cup last season so the expectation are high and they have to rise to that and they want to. " Penybont vs Airbus UK Broughton (Saturday, 2. 30pm) Airbus assistant manager Andy Thomas (Image: ANDREW LINCOLN) The battle of the newly-promoted sides takes place at the KYMCO Stadium and both sides occupy the relegation places with Airbus in 11th place. Steve O’Shaugnessy’s side have won one game in the Cymru Premier and will be confident of getting a result especially after a great effort against current leaders Barry Town last weekend. “I am very proud of all the players, ” said Airbus assistant manager Andy Thomas after the Barry defeat.
At present, Airbus have 35 points from 19 matches and Denbigh are on 34 from 17 (each team plays 20 games). The Wingmakers were beaten 5-2 at Llanfair in their last league outing, but showed some promise in a midweek friendly at Chester, where a number of youngsters were given an opportunity to show their talents.

Six Games to Watch in North Wales football - April 1 and 2Flint Town United v Gresford Athletic (Huws Gray Alliance, Saturday 2. 30pm) Visitors Gresford need just a point at Cae-y-Castell to secure a best-ever third-place finish in the HGA. Steve Halliwell's side are already assured of their highest position in 15 seasons in this league with fifth the lowest they can end up. Flint could still also grab third if they win on Saturday and results go their way in the final set of matches. After a six-match winning run, Gresford suffered back-to-back losses before bouncing back by beating Porthmadog and then recovering from 2-0 down to force a 2-2 home draw with Holyhead Hotspur last weekend thanks to two late goals.
Flint's Stewart Carroll tweaked his hamstring in the warm-up before last Saturday's game, and looks certain to miss out tomorrow, whilst striker Shaun Beck is also a major doubt. The Silkmen are without a league win in five matches, but sandwiched a fine Huws Gray Cup semi-final victory over Prestatyn Town in between.
” Despite four defeats from six games Aber are, surprisingly, the league’s joint third top scorers and strikers Luke Boundford and Marc Williams in particular have been in excellent form. It’s at the other end of the pitch where their problems are as they have leaked 22 goals, the most in the Cymru Premier, five more than bottom side Penybont. Bala Town vs Cardiff Met (Saturday, 2. 30pm) Bala on the attack against Cardiff Met (Image: Hannah Gwenllian) Colin Caton’s Bala will be hoping to get back to winning ways after a disappointing loss at Newtown last weekend. But they face a stiff test against Cardiff Met who beat the Lakesiders in the Europa League play-off last season. The students were so close to beating defending champions The New Saints earlier in the week so Bala will be expecting a reaction.
Right to left - back row: Rhys Lane, Danny Talbot, Jacob Snape, Jamie Moorhouse, Mike Parkinson, Jamie Edwards, Ste Kirk, Andy Campbell, Dan Price. Front row: Ryan Williams, Tom Thornton, Nathan Williams, Glyn Nolan, Si Owen, Stan Farrell. Here's a nice-looking contest between two sides coming off the back of good wins.
