Haverfordwest County AFC make the journey up the west coast on Friday to take on Aberystwyth Town, as we look to start rebuilding momentum in the JD Cymru Premier.

The Bluebirds were in action as recently as Tuesday evening, when a youthful County side lost out 1-0 to Penybont in the third round of the Nathaniel MG Cup.

The Seasiders were also in action in midweek, and they were involved in a thrilling encounter with JD Cymru North outfit Llandudno, as two stoppage-time goals from Jonathan Evans saw them come from 2-1 down to clinch a dramatic 3-2 victory at Park Avenue.

The most recent meeting between the sides came back in March. On that occasion, the Bluebirds ran out 2-0 winners at the Ogi Bridge Meadow thanks to goals from Dan Hawkins and Martell Taylor-Crossdale, after the Black and Greens had seen goalkeeper Oliver Basey sent off in the first half.

The Town, who currently find themselves sixth in the league table, could climb to as high as second with victory.
