Holyhead Hotspur and Porthmadog will both face Cymru Premier opposition in the second round of the Welsh Cup.

The pick of the ties locally sees Holyhead Hotspur welcome Caernarfon Town.

The Ardal North West club booked their place with a 4-0 win at Llandudno Amateurs on Saturday - with goals from Tomi Llywelyn, Cory Williams, Jacob Godsman-Pilling and Dylan Summers-Jones.

The Cofis, who enter the competition along with the rest of the Cymru Premier at this stage, will be aiming to go one better than last season, when they were knocked out by Connah's Quay Nomads in the second round.

Porthmadog, who thumped FC Queens Park 6-1 - with two goals for sub Danny Brookwell - will face Airbus UK Broughton at Y Traeth.

Port reached the last sixteen of last year's competition before going down 2-0 to Buckley.

Bangor 1876 were also given a bye into the second round after finishing in the top half of the Cymru North table last season.

The Nantporth club have been drawn at home to face league rivals Llay Welfare, who beat Corwen 1-0 in the first round.

Llangefni Town will travel to Denbigh, following their 7-1 derby win over Gaerwen, which saw a hattrick for Josh Stanley Williams.

Trearddur Bay are also on the road to face Llannefydd, after beating NFA 2-1 - with goals from Toby Jones and Joe Chaplin. Their next opponents ran out 1-0 winners at home to Rhydymwyn last Saturday.

And Bala Town, who won the cup in 2017, enter the fray with a home tie against Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant, who ran out comfortable 4-0 winners against Carno in round one.

Ties will be played on the weekend of Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th October

The draw was also made for the first round of the Bute Energy Women's Welsh Cup on Wednesday evening - with four local teams involved.

Llanystumdwy have been drawn at home to face Adran Premier club Wrexham, after qualifying for the competition with a 3-0 win over Northop Hall.

Pwllheli, who beat Denbigh Town 5-2 - with a brace for Lois Thomas - will face another top flight club, The New Saints, who have won both of their opening league games.

And there's an all-North West clash between two qualifiers as Y Felinheli entertain Llangefni Town.

Jessica Jones scored a hattrick in Llangefni's 6-2 qualifying win over Flint Town United while Y Felinheli needed penalties to beat Kinmel Bay after a 3-3 draw last Sunday, with two goals for Fflur Williams.
