Read all you need to know ahead of tomorrow's JD Cymru North clash at The Hollingsworth Group Stadium.

The Wingmakers host eighth-placed Penrhyncoch on Saturday afternoon. It is the final fixture of the August schedule for the Bus who are unbeaten so far in all competitions this month.

Airbus come into the match following a comprehensive away victory at Conwy Borough in the week. A brace from Callum Humphries, a Gaz Edwards goal and a late strike from Jake Eyre saw Steve O'Shaughnessy's side brush aside the high-flying Tangerines 1-4 at the Y Morfa Stadium.

Whilst this weekend's visitors have endured mixed fortunes this term, a 2-3 triumph last time out away against Buckley Town means the Ceredigion based side will be full of confidence heading into this one.

A scalp versus Cymru Premier giants TNS in the Nathaniel MG Cup three weeks ago also shows the threat Aneurin Thomas' team possess.

Team news

On Tuesday night in Conwy, O'Shaughnessy had the luxury of naming an unchanged line-up from the previous game for the first time this season.

Whilst long term absentees such as Jamie Crowther, Brady McGilloway and Ieuan Hewitt all remain major doubts, it is anticipated a near full quota of players will be available to play.

An impressive cameo performance by Eyre from the bench on Tuesday will also provide the boss with a selection dilemma. The forward contributed with a goal and tormented the Conwy defence with his pace and trickery.

One to watch

The Wingmakers - Nathan Brown. The winger has been an ever present in the starting XI in the opening weeks of the campaign. Brown has continued his consistent top-class displays following his nomination for the July player of the month award.

The 23-year-old's set-piece credentials is a key attacking weapon for the Bus. He has racked up three assists in the last two games from inch-perfect corner deliveries.

Penryhncoch - Josh Shaw. The Welsh forward experienced a slow start to the 21/22 season failing to score in his first five appearances. However, the 31-year-old is fresh off the back of a brace against Buckley. Shaw is a confident finisher and will be a goalscoring threat tomorrow in Broughton.

Match coverage

In accordance with previous fixtures at The Hollingsworth Group Stadium this term, all tickets will be sold on the gate at the stadium (£6 adults, £3 Concessions and U18s).

The match kicks off at 2.30pm, but why not arrive early to enjoy some refreshments in the Broughton Wings Club which is situated on location?
