Holywell Town face Penrhyncoch in the Huws Gray Alliance League on Saturday.

The match is being played at Maes Tegid, home of Bala Town, and Holywell know they could yet catch leaders Caernarfon Town.

The Cofis are hot favourites for the title, but Holywell have six fixtures left and 18 points to play for.

“We were excellent against Llandudno in a game where it would have been easy for us to take our foot off the pedal,” said manager John Haseldin.

“This game will be a contrast in styles, but we’re out to win after drawing against them twice last season.”

The match has been switch to Bala after the poor weather over the past couple of days put the fixture in doubt.

The Wellmen played Llandudno Junction in midweek and won 8-0 and confidence will be high of earning another victory against Penrhyncoch.

Wednesday’s victory saw the Wellmen remain sixth in the Alliance with 45 points from 22 matches. Victory against Penrhyncoch could see the Holywell climb back to third place if the other matches go our way.

Penrhyncoch, in 12th, provide tough opposition and are in a good run of form after winning three and drawing one in their past four fixtures.

Jon Evans is their top scorer with 11 goals this season, while Shaun Tuck, Mark Winslade, Sam Jones and Lee Davey all scored against Junction. Holywell also earned a fifth clean sheet in six games.

Haseldin expects a stern test against manager Gari Lewis and his Roosters’ team on Saturday, saying: “It will be a tough game.

“I’ve played against Gari in the past and he has his team playing in his own image. They are strong, aggressive and play with a never-say-die attitude for him.

“We were excellent against Llandudno in a game where it would have been easy for us to take our foot off the pedal.”

The match will kick-off at 2.30pm.

Only two teams, Denbigh and Holywell, can go past the current points total set by Caernarfon (58). Denbigh could reach 63 p
