Newtown without top-scorer Jason Oswell for play-off clash
Newtown will be looking to keep alive their Europa League quest when they head to Bangor City for their play-off semi-final.
The Robins make the trip to north Wales in good heart on the back of a 12-match unbeaten run, while scoring 13 goals in their last two outings.


After hammering Airbus UK 7-0, the Robins continued where they left off with another romp the following week as they dispatched Aberystwyth Town 6-1 at Latham Park.
But they are certain to face a far sterner challenge against a Bangor side tomorrow as they look to set up a play-off final with either Carmarthen Town or Cardiff Met University, who meet on Sunday.
The Robins will be without the league’s 22-goal top scorer Jason Oswell – named the club supporters’ player of the season – who is abroad due to university commitments.
But boss Chris Hughes believes his players are still in good shape as they look to seal European football this summer.
“Everyone can see the confidence among the players and we now need to take the momentum forward into the play-offs,” he said.
“To pick up 26 points out of the last 30 is a fantastic effort. We’ve been creating chances all season, but we’re now being clinical.”
Newtown are unbeaten in 2017 and topped the play-off conference by a canter.
