Cardiff, Swansea, and Newport teams set to compete in Nathaniel MG Cup

The New Saints emerged victorious with a 5-1 win over Swansea City Under-21s in last season’s Nathaniel MG Cup final. The upcoming 2024-25 edition of the tournament will feature representation from Championship clubs Cardiff City and Swansea City, as well as wildcard entries Newport County and Merthyr Town. These four teams will join the 44 Cymru League clubs in the competition.

Swansea City’s under-21 team made it to the final in the previous season, defeating Cardiff City’s under-21s in round three before falling to The New Saints. Newport County, a League Two team, will return to the competition after last receiving a wildcard entry in 2021-22. Merthyr Town, a club from the Southern League Premier South, will be participating in the cup for the first time since the 2014-15 season.

The Nathaniel MG Cup is regionally divided until the semi-finals, with Newport County set to enter the northern section to ensure regional balance. The inclusion of these teams from various leagues adds an exciting dynamic to the competition for the upcoming season.
