The Christmas period fixtures invariably involve near-neighbours, and that’s the case again this year for The New Saints, as we welcome Airbus UK Broughton to Park Hall on December 26.

The twenty-eight mile geographical distance is minimal compared to the JD Cymru Premier table, which shows a gap of forty-four points separating the sides.

With both having played sixteen games, the MD20 encounter marks the turning point as far as fixtures are concerned.

It’s not been a happy return to the top-flight of Welsh football for the Wingmakers, having registered just one draw and fifteen defeats so far. Courtesy of a three-points deduction, they also have a minus figure on that front.

Having found the net on twelve occasions they are the league’s lowest goalscorers, while The New Saints with fifty-three, lead the way with that statistic.

The league leaders will be in blue shirts and shorts and white socks, with Airbus wearing all-burgundy.

The goalkeepers will be in all-red and all-yellow respectively.

Aaron Wyn Jones is the appointed referee and he will be assisted by Matthew Johnson and Connah Sears. The fourth official is Andy Harms and Edward King the referee observer.

The game has a 2.30 p.m. kick-of time and we look forward to welcoming you to Park Hall. You can also follow the action via TNS Radio, via our website/Facebook page.
