Denbigh Town begin their JD Cymru North campaign on Friday night with a trip to Airbus UK Broughton.

Dewi Llion’s side look to build on a strong first season back in the second tier starting against an Airbus side looking to challenge for the title.

Airbus UK Broughton v Denbigh Town
Date: 26/07/2024
Kick-Off: 19:45
Location: Hollingsworth Group Stadium, Broughton
Competition: JD Cymru North

Form

Denbigh come into this one on the back of a 3-1 Nathaniel MG Cup defeat to Llay. Owen Davies opened the scoring in the first half before Llay levelled in stoppage time of the first half. The home side subsequently capitalised on two lapses of concentration to seal their place in the next round.

Airbus faced Flintshire rivals Mold Alexandra on Saturday in the Nathaniel MG Cup, with the Wingmakers managing to navigate themselves through. Despite former Town defender Craig Rogers netting twice, 10-man Airbus saw themselves through with goals from new man Danny Warren, Kaiden Cooke and Oliver Lanceley.

Head-to-Head

Our last trip to Broughton came in March 2024 where the home side triumphed with a 3-1 win. Kaiden Cooke opened the scoring before Owen Davies levelled. However a brace from Craig Lindfield saw three points go to the Wingmakers. Earlier that season Town became the first side to beat Airbus in 2023/24 when Matthew Worrall and Paul Fleming’s efforts saw Town run out 2-0 winners.

Denbigh’s last win away at Airbus came in November 2017 where a Jake Eyre brace and Josh Davies strike separated the sides in a 3-1 win, our only away league win over Airbus.

Stat Pack

Denbigh Town are looking to win on the opening day of a league season for the first time since August 2021.
