This Weekend's Fixtures
Saturday, 21st January 2012
After last week's excellent home win over Llangollen (3rd, P11, W9 L2), Welshpool (7th, P12 W5 L7) take the long trip north to Holyhead (9th, P11 W1 L10) in the hopes of overtaking Menai Bridge (6th, P11 W5 L6), who are only three points ahead of 'Pool.
Despite a 65-0 victory when the Anglesey team came to Maesydre earlier in the season, there is no doubt that they will provide a sterner test on their home patch, and Welshpool will have to work hard to secure victory.
With Menai Bridge hosting Harlech (5th, P10 W6 L4), who beat them by 42-3 back in September, this could be Welshpool's best chance of grasping hold of 6th place, especially as their next league game is against Menai in early March.
Elsewhere in the league, Llangollen will be hoping to forget about last weekend's defeat when they take on league leaders Rhosllanerchrugog (1st, P12 W10 L2), especially as they inflicted one of only two defeats that Rhos have suffered this season when the two sides met at Rhos is September.
With the leaders having played two more matches than Shotton Steel (2nd, P10, W10 L2) and only holding a 4 point advantage, they will be well aware that they cannot afford any slip ups if they want to stay at the top of the table.
For their part, Shotton will be hoping for a strong feeling of deja vu when they take on Bangor (10th, P12 W0 L12) after they inflicted a 121-0 hiding on the basement side in the early part of the season, and one would suspect that a five point victory is likely in this encounter.
Anyone wishing to travel on the bus to Holyhead is more than welcome to come along and support the team. Please be at the clubhouse for 10.15am on Saturday morning.
***********************************************************************
Whilst the senior team make the gruelling trip north, the Youth team have the luxury of a home match, as they take on Bala.
It has been some time since the Youths took to the field, though many of them have been involved in 1st and 2nd XV fixtures lately, and it is hoped they will be able to avenge the defeat they suffered in Bala earlier in the season.
Kick-off 2.30pm
