Match Preview: Treowen Stars v Carmarthen Town
📍 Venue: Bush Park
🕒 Kick-off: 12:30
🏆 Competition: JD Cymru South
📅 Date: 18/04/26
The Stars round off their league campaign on Saturday as they host Carmarthen Town at Bush Park, in what promises to be a competitive game with plenty of motivation for both sides.
The Stars go into the game knowing that a win would secure a top 10 finish, and after a long season, it would be a strong way to sign off in front of the home support.
Carmarthen arrive having lost narrowly 1–0 to Pontypridd United in their last outing, but prior to that had put together an impressive run of six games unbeaten, lifting them to 5th in the league table . The goals of Liam Thomas have had a big impact with him sitting on 15 league goals.
The reverse fixture back in September was a tight encounter, with the sides sharing the points in a 1–1 draw after Thomas’ late equaliser earned Carmarthen a share of the spoils.
Saturday’s game also carries added significance for the visitors, as it will be Mark Aizlewood’s final match in charge after more than 20 years representing the club. During his time, he has overseen some of the most successful periods in Carmarthen’s history, including cup success & European qualification. His connection with Carmarthen goes far beyond results, and this weekend will mark the end of a long and important chapter.
For the Stars, attention is split between finishing the league campaign strongly and building momentum ahead of next week’s Welsh Blood Service Cup Final. After a demanding run of fixtures, there is a real opportunity to carry confidence into that final with a positive result here.
Bush Park has been a difficult place for sides to come throughout the season and the Stars will be looking to make the most of home advantage once again.
With Carmarthen looking to give their long-serving manager a fitting send-off, and the Stars aiming to finish strongly ahead of a huge week for the club, it sets up a final league fixture with plenty of motivation on both sides.
