Flint Town United were eliminated from the Welsh Cup after a 3-1 defeat to Caernarfon Town in the Round of 64 on Saturday. The loss at home ends their involvement in this season's competition and shifts focus squarely onto their league campaign, where they sit 14th in the Premier League with eight points from 13 games. Their record of two wins and two draws from those 13 matches leaves them with a goal difference of minus 13, having scored 12 and conceded 25.
Caernarfon Town scored three goals to Flint's one in the tie. The match was the only fixture for the club over the weekend, following a 1-0 league loss to Colwyn Bay the previous Saturday. Their recent form shows two wins and three losses from their last five outings across all competitions, a sequence of results that includes losses in their last two matches. The recent run began with a 5-0 defeat to The New Saints on 15 September, followed by a 4-1 loss at Airbus UK on 18 September. A 3-0 win over Ammanford AFC on 26 September and a 1-0 victory at Haverfordwest County on 3 October provided a brief upturn, but the consecutive 1-0 loss to Colwyn Bay on 10 October and this 3-1 cup defeat to Caernarfon Town on 17 October have halted momentum.
Upcoming league challenge
The side now turns its attention to a key Premier League clash with Trefelin this Friday, October 23. That match kicks off at 19:45 local time at Ynys Park.
With a goal difference of minus 13 after conceding 25 times this season, defensive solidity will be a priority. The team is 29 points adrift of league leaders The New Saints, underlining the scale of the task ahead in the battle to climb the standings. The immediate aim is to build on their two league victories this term, which came against Haverfordwest County and Ammanford AFC in early October. Their next opportunity comes against a Trefelin side also looking to move away from the lower reaches of the table.
Flint Town United's next fixture will be at home against Holywell on October 30, the club confirmed. The Silkmen, who are 14th in the Premier League with eight points from 13 games, will face a side currently 16th in the table.
