What other key games did the broadcasters select?
The broadcasters' selections cover a wide range of compelling fixtures across the league.

September features a top-of-the-table clash as The New Saints take on Barry Town United on S4C on the 5th.

How does this affect the team's preparation?
Multiple live broadcasts mean altered kick-off times and increased scrutiny, factors the squad and management must incorporate into their planning. The immediate focus is the derby with Llandudno, but the cluster of televised games in September presents a challenging run. Following the TV games, Bay's next scheduled fixture is a home match against Cambrian & Clydach on 30 October, a side currently 7th in the table. The team's fixtures list shows a busy period ahead, and these televised matches offer a major platform to improve their league position and close the gap to the top.
