He said: "It’s a huge local game and hopefully they’ll be plenty of people supporting us from Oswestry and mid Wales. We have several players connected to the town so it should be a great occasion for the players and more importantly the club."
Leonard admitted the JD Cymru North side would go into the tie as massive underdogs.
"It is almost mission impossible these days against TNS who have strengthened again this season and whatever team they put out will hurt most teams," he said.
"We will do everything we can to make it uncomfortable for them on the night but there’s no pressure on us and I just hope the lads can enjoy the occasion as it’s the first time in the clubs history we’ve reached the last four of a national competition.
"It’s the biggest game in the clubs history and as long as we give our all then I’ll be happy."
