Barry Town United have been drawn away to face CPD Y Rhyl in the quarter finals of the Welsh Cup.

Steve Jenkins' men eased intro the last eight of the competition with a 4-0 win at home to Gresford Athletic - and their reward is a trip north to face another Cymru North club at the end of January.

The Lillywhites were once a dominant force in the Cymru Premier, win two league titles in 2004 and 2009, before the original Rhyl FC dropped out of the top flight and eventually went out of business amid the Covid pandemic in 2020.

CPD Y Rhyl 1879, who continue to play at Belle Vue, were promoted to the second tier last season after being crowned Ardal North West champions.

Coincidentally, Caerau Ely - the only other South Wales team left in this season's cup - will also go north to face another phoenix club, Bangor City 1876.

The Young Guns reached the quarter finals for the second season running following their 2-1 win over Cymru North leaders Llandudno at the weeend.

Their next cup opponents - formed as a breakway club by supporters in 2019 - currently ply their trade in the third-tier Ardal League following relegation from the Cymru North last season.

The other ties include an all-Cymru Premier clash between Caernarfon Town and Colwyn Bay while Flint Town United - who knocked out Penybont - will entertain another third-tier club, Trearddur Bay.

Ties will be played on the weekend of Friday 30th January to Sunday 1st February.

The quarter final draw was made live on S4C's Heno on Monday night, after the FAW was criticised for pre-recording its cup draws in advance with one club, Flint Town United, questioning the integrity of the proceedings.
