Bala Town's Survival Bid Depends on Llanelli Town Win

Bala Town's relegation from JD Cymru Premier is at stake as they play Llanelli Town on Good Friday. Can they win to stay in the league?

Bala Town's Survival Bid Depends on Llanelli Town Win

Bala Town will be relegated from the JD Cymru Premier if they fail to beat Llanelli Town at Stebonheath on Good Friday. Recent form (last 5): 2W-0D-3L (LWLLW, most recent first). Last result: Bala Town 1-2 Briton Ferry (2026-04-18).

Bala aided their survival bid with a crucial 1-0 win over Haverfordwest County a fortnight ago, but a narrow 2-1 loss away to Cardiff Met last weekend leaves them five points adrift of safety with three games remaining. Therefore, Bala must beat already-relegated Llanelli and hope 10th-place Flint Town United drop points at home to Haverfordwest if the Lakesiders are to take the fight for survival to the final day.

What happened?

Llanelli Town will be hoping in-form striker Cameron Ferguson can continue to provide a spark with three goals in his last three games (six in his first nine for the club in total). Llanelli ultimately kept Bala's survival hopes alive with a shock 2-1 victory away to Flint last Saturday - the Reds' first league win since September.

Why it matters for Bala Town

Terry Boyle's side will be hoping to finish the campaign on a positive note as they prepare for second-tier football next season. Bala earned a pair of 1-0 wins over Llanelli in Phase One before both sides shared the points in a goalless draw in February's reverse Phase Two fixture.
