Haverfordwest County AFC make their long-awaited return to the Ogi Bridge Meadow Stadium on New Year’s Day, as we take on Aberystwyth Town in our penultimate home game of Phase One in the JD Cymru Premier.

Having played all of our home games in 2024-25 to date at LHP Stadium in Carmarthen, the Bluebirds can look forward to returning home for our first competitive outing in Pembrokeshire since April, when we defeated Colwyn Bay 3-1.

The Bluebirds were most recently in action on Boxing Day, when we defeated Newtown 2-0 at Montgomery Waters Latham Park thanks to a goal from Ben Fawcett and Rhys Abbruzzese’s penalty.

The Seasiders, meanwhile, were held to a goalless draw by Bala Town at Park Avenue on Boxing Day.

The most recent meeting between the sides came back in September. On that occasion, County ran out 3-0 winners with Ricky Watts and Ben Ahmun on target, before an own goal from Louis Bradford made the result safe.

Tony Pennock’s men currently find themselves third in the table, knowing a victory would ensure our place in the top six for Phase Two of the JD Cymru Premier season. The Black and Greens find themselves at the foot of the table with two matches left to play in Phase One.
