Cefn Druids bring the curtain down on the 2011/12 season tonight when they take on Ruthin Town in the final of the NEWFA Challenge Cup at Wrexham’s Racecourse Ground.

After the valiant performance in the Welsh Cup final ten days ago, Druids will be looking to end the campaign with silverware at the expense of their fellow Huws Gray Alliance side.

The Ancients will go into the tie with Max Peate being the only casualty as he is ruled out through injury.

Huw Griffiths said he is expecting a tough game against a side who saw off Rhos Aelwyd and Penycae on their way to tonight’s final.

He said: “It will be tough. We know what to expect from them after having played them in the league and getting a draw at their place.

“We are being billed as favourites but Ruthin will be up for it, just as we were when we played Welsh Premier League sides in the Welsh Cup.

“I am hoping that being seen as favourites will help us to win the game and that the players can handle having the tag. It is important for them to finish the season on a high.”

The Druids manager added: “We have given this cup a lot of respect as, in my eyes, it is the best cup for us outside of the Welsh Cup. As a result we have beaten some good sides to get here.

“We got a lot of support at Bangor in the Welsh Cup final and I hope we will get the same again tonight.”

Kick-off at The Racecourse is 7.00pm and admission is £4.

Cefn Druids’ opponents in next Tuesday’s NEWFA Challenge Cup final will be fellow Huws Gray Alliance side Ruthin Town.

Cefn Druids’ chairman, Brian Mackie, has praised the team performance and its support following Saturday’s Welsh Cup Final against The New Saints.
