Colwyn Bay's Assistant Manager Mark Orme has been included in the backroom staff for the Cymru North team to play Cymru South in qualifying games for the 2020/21 UEFA Region's Cup.
Mark will be working under North team manager Guy Handscombe (Ruthin Town) while Jonathan Jones of Pontypridd Town will be in charge of the Cymru South squad.
The teams will play each over two legs in May, with the winning side progressing to represent Wales in Bulgaria in the intermediate round of UEFA's regional amateur competition in September, against qualifiers from Bulgaria, Russia and one other country. The finals will be in June next year.
Players in Wales from Tier 2 and below are able to compete, provided they have never played in the JD Cymru Premier and have never been a professional. Players (aged between 19-40) must have been registered in Wales and within their region for a minimum of two years.
Mark commented: "I am grateful to Guy for the opportunity to be part of his Cymru North staff for the Region's Cup.
"It is an exciting competition to be involved in and we look forward to the challenge of aiming to qualify for September's tournament.
"I would also like to thank Craig Hogg and everyone at the Bay for their support in me taking on this extra role."
