Danger Man
Nathan Wood – The 25 year old Forward is the leading goal scorer for the Bont this season, with nine league goals in 27 appearances to his name, while also netting four goals in the JD Welsh Cup. Wood has fired a blank in his last three appearances, however previous to his mini goal drought, he managed four goals in five appearances in all competitions, which saw him score against Newtown, Holywell Town (JD Welsh Cup) Cardiff Met and The New Saints. Wood was also called up to the Cymru C squad recently and made a cameo in the second half as he replaced Cardiff Met's Sam Jones for the final half an hour of the match.
Previous Meetings
It's been mixed success for the Town in recent meetings against today's hosts, with just three league victories in our last eight clashes with the South Wales side. So far this season, Penybont have the bragging rights with a 2-0 victory back in August last year, as they collected their first three points of the Cymru Premier season on the opening day. Since August, two more meetings have followed, with both fixtures ending in draws as the sides played out a 1-1 draw in October last year, and then a 0-0 draw in February this year to kick off the Championship Conference.
