On Saturday we go in search of our third consecutive win when we entertain Porthmadog at Cae-Y-Castell (kick off 2-30pm)

Available again after his 2 match suspension will be Joe Culshaw. Johnny Hill proved an able deputy in the left back role last weekend, and a decision will need to be made as to whether Hill keeps his place or Culshaw is added to the starting line up, with his pace bringing an added dimension. A shortage of pace was evident last weekend, as Andy Brown all too often found himself isolated up front, with support from midfield taking too long to arrive.
Our opponents are always a tough nut to crack, and they currently lie in fifth spot in the table, five points below us, but having played a game more. Last week they put up a good showing at home to Prestatyn, before going down 3-1. They finished the game with 10 men having had Gareth Jones-Evans dismissed, and so he will be missing from Port's line up on Saturday.
The Traeth outfit tend to play a high tempo game, and so we shall need to start off much sharper than last weekend, when it took us a good 30 minutes to get into our stride. With Caernarfon winning 3-2 at Conwy in midweek, we need to win to stay in touch with them, but we know we shall be in for a hard fought game against strong opposition.
