With the Spar Mid Wales League title wrapped up, Penparcau can sit out this round of matches and watch the battle for second place unfold.

Rhayader Town are favourites for the runners-up spot and will secure go a long way towards nailing it down if they beat visiting Waterloo Rovers at the Weirglodd.

Bow Street are the only side who can deny Rhayader second place, but they will need to win two of their last three matches, and probably all three.    Bow Street will start that chase with a home match against Carno.

Fourth-placed Aberystwyth Reserves can’t win the title, but they will be looking to finish strongly although they will play their final ‘home’ game of the season at Llansantffraid Village.   Presteigne St Andrews, of course, will head to Dolgellau while Dyffryn Banw will host Tywyn Bryncrug.

In the day’s other matches, Aberystwyth University face a trip to Llanrhaeadr while bottom side Llanfyllin will need to take something from their game at Hay St Marys if they are to have any real chance of getting off the foot of the table.

In the Mid Wales League (South), Rhosgoch Rangers will host Llandrindod Wells in the league’s match of the day knowing they need a win if they are to keep up the pressure on a Builth Wells side that was due to play at home to Rhayader Town Reseves on Friday evening.

Presteigne Reserves will head to Llandrindod Wells Colts knowing they need a win if they are to put pressure on fourth-placed Talgarth Town – the Reserves will be looking to CP Llanandras to do them a favour by taking something from their trip to Talgarth Town.

The top five are clear but Hay St Marys Reserves and Newcastle will both be looking to finish with a flourish – Hay go to Builth Wednesdays while Newcastle will be confident of picking up the points from their trip to bottom side St Harmon.

Elsewhere, Radnor Valley will head to Newbridge Reserves while Penybont United will welcome Sennybridge to the Racecourse.
