Cambrian United return to home action on Friday night as league leaders welcome Newport City under the lights, with both sides arriving in strong but contrasting form.
Cambrian currently sit top of the table with 47 points from 19 matches, boasting an outstanding +33 goal differenceand setting the pace in the title race. Confidence is high following a 2–0 win over Cardiff Draconians, continuing a run that has seen Cambrian win six of their last seven league matches, drawing just once.
Under Liam Williams, the hosts have combined defensive discipline with attacking quality, particularly strong at home, and will be keen to maintain momentum as the season enters a crucial phase.
Newport City arrive in 6th place on 27 points, firmly in the play-off conversation. Managed by Sam Houldsworth, they have developed a reputation as a side that is difficult to beat. Their recent form reflects that resilience, with just one defeat in their last six league games, drawing several tight contests and recently progressing in cup competition on penalties.
The reverse fixture earlier this season adds extra edge to Friday night’s meeting, with Newport City claiming a late 2–1 victory, settled by a last-minute Kayne McLaggon goal — a result that remains fresh in the memory for the hosts.
With Cambrian looking to strengthen their grip at the top and Newport City aiming to close the gap on the leading pack, Friday night promises a competitive, high-intensity encounter under the lights.
