Caernarfon enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Colwyn Bay's place. The match ended 4-0 with Davies (2), Clarke and Thomas scoring. As mentioned above, Caernarfon Town "killed" Colwyn Bay in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

Preceding that game, a home loss in the League Cup against Porthmadog (after extra-time, 2-4 on penalties).
