Llanymynech is a border town, split down the middle by the A483 Oswestry to Welshpool road. The west of the town is in Wales, whilst the east is in England, in the county of Shropshire. The football ground is in the English side, although the club play their football in the Montgomeryshire Amateur League Division 2, which is part of the Welsh Pyramid.

The match went totally to form. Llanfair play three levels higher, currently sitting in sixth place in the Mid Wales League Division 1 and had won 3-2 away at Hawarden Rangers in the Welsh F.A. Cup yesterday, with Llanymynech having had a day off as they had no scheduled fixture. When the hosts pulled it back to 1-2 , with a penalty early in the second half,  it was little more than a consolation goal. Despite hitting the woodwork with a couple of long range strikes, they never really looked capable of pulling off an upset.
