PRE-MATCH | DARREN PURSE
Ahead of the contest, U21 head coach Darren Purse said: "Ammanford will give a good account of themselves, so our boys have got to be as good or even better than they were against Yeovil. The reason we play in these competitions is to give the boys that variety of experience that is as broad as we can make it; the Nathaniel MG Cup is vital for that.
"The U21s side evolves every year. Our job is to get boys in the First Team and we're in a really good place at the moment. I look at First Team at the minute, with the amount of Academy products that went out to the training camp in Spain, it's brilliant. Now, it's about finding the next one to go through and that's what we're here for.
"We go into the game after a great win against Yeovil where we came back from 2-0 down and gave the fans a brilliant night. I can't thank them enough for that support."
PRE-MATCH | MORGAN WIGLEY
Attacker Morgan Wigley recently gained First Team experience in a pre-season friendly against Southend United, as well as scoring the winning goal for our U21s against Yeovil Town.
He added: "For us young lads, it's a great experience to play in the Nathaniel MG Cup against older opposition. We did really well last year and fell short at the Semi-Final stage, but it was really promising. We've had good preparation so far this summer and we're all looking forward to Saturday's game.
"We want to go far into the competition. Any game you play for this Club, you aim to win. That's how we set our standards and work towards it each and every day.
"The First Team experience I've had this summer, I was buzzing with it. It's what I've been working towards all summer and to get onto the field, it was a great experience and it's a brilliant squad to be a part of."
