Llandudno Finally get a Chance to Make Amends for New Year’s Day Misery

JD Cymru North

JD Cymru North

Leaders Llandudno will aim to rediscover winning ways in the JD Cymru North when they visit fourth-from-bottom Flint Mountain on Friday night.

The Seasiders have not played a league game since their unbeaten run came to a halt in match 17 - a 3-1 loss at CPD Y Rhyl 1879 on New Year's Day.

With some good additions and quality players retained in the January window so far, Tudno should be strong enough to defeat a Mountain side they beat 4-0 at home in August.

If Llandudno slip up, second-place Airbus UK Broughton could displace them with a home victory against Gresford Athletic.

The Colliers were beaten 5-2 at home by the Wingmakers last September, and a double for Mark Allen's men looks a good call.

Eighth hosts seventh when Rhyl 1879 welcome Buckley Town to the Hops and Barley Community Stadium.
The Lilywhites will be out to make it six points out of six against the Bucks, having triumphed 2-1 at The Globe just before Christmas. 

Saturday will see third-place Holywell Town seeking to keep pace with the leading pair when Johnny Haseldin's side host a Mold Alexandra outfit they beat 2-1 on away territory three months ago.

Much-improved Caersws might fancy their chances of home joy against a Holyhead Hotspur line-up they held 1-1 on Holy Island earlier this campaign.

'Sws have won their most recent three league encounters and edged past high-flyers Newtown 1-0 last time out.

Match of the day could be the battle at Central Park between Denbigh Town in fifth and Newtown a position above.

The Robins outscored Denbigh 4-2 at Latham Park back in September, but Dewi Llion's Vale of Clwyd side have vaulted into the top five after back-to-back wins, while the Powys visitors have somewhat gone off the boil.

Guilsfield will be determined to bounce back from their midweek loss at Denbigh when they take on a Ruthin Town team showing a marked revival under Colin Caton.

Brickfield Rangers whipped Penrhyncoch 4-1 in the first encounter between the pair this season - can the bottom-place Roosters turn the tide at Cae Baker?

ARDAL NORTH EAST

Having drawn 2-2 at Rhos Aelwyd at the start of the season way back in sunny July, leaders Llanuwchllyn will be straining at the leash to go one better when they welcome the Wrexham hopefuls to Church Street on Saturday.

Having not scored in the last couple of games, Llan's master marksman Meilir Williams will be looking to boost his 32-goal tally.

Second-placed Knighton Town will want to keep the pressure on Llanuwchllyn when they travel to winless bottom side Lex XI, a team they caned 5-0 at Bryn-y-Castell earlier this season.

Can Bow Street hit back from last weekend's 4-1 home thrashing at the hands of Llanuwchllyn when they journey to lowly Llandrindod Wells?

In a much-awaited all-Wrexham area derby, Penycae will target a double over a Cefn Albion team they beat 3-2 away in November.

Corwen and Builth Wells have struggled for consistency this season, so what might be the outcome of their tussle at the War Memorial Ground?

Resurgent Dolgellau Athletic and their goal machine Gerwyn Williams are dangerous opposition for hosts Llanfair United, while Llanrhaeadr are a good shout to see off a Llangollen Town side they overcame 3-0 at Tower Fields in November.

Kerry pipped Radnor Valley 1-0 back in August, but the return at The Bypass could well go the way of the New Radnorshire greens, who have won three in a row in the league.

ARDAL NORTH WEST

Can CPD Dinas Bangor City 1876 reach the magic 30 unbeaten games when they journey to Deeside Stadium to meet Connah's Quay Town on Friday night?

The Citizens have had an exciting week, having just signed two-time Cymru Premier Golden Boot winner Declan McManus. The Ardal North West leaders can top it off with a win over fourth-from-bottom Town.

Two in-form sides clash at Parc Meurig on Saturday when Bethesda Athletic greet CPD Pwllheli.
Pesda won the reverse encounter 3-1 at The Rec last August, but Pwll pose a lot of goal threat, including new signing Cian Pritchard, scorer of five goals in his last two games.

Athletic captain Osian Hughes is the ANW's top marksman, so there could be a goal or two in this one.

Llangefni Town and Llay Welfaire both lost last time out, but the pair are having decent seasons with Cefni seventh and the Welly riding high in third.

Anither good quality battle is on the cards at Cae Bob Parry with a draw a major possibility. Llay beat Town 2-0 last October at The Ring.

Prestatyn Town and new manager Aden Shannon will be out to build on last weekend's morale boosting win over Llangefni when the Seasiders visit Llannefydd for what should be another tight one.

Llanrwst United aim to show their bouncebackability when they entertain a Mynydd Isa side no doubt buoyed by their success against Llannefydd last weekend.

Rhyl-based NFA, who have lost just twice in 16 outings, must be favoured to do well at home to a Felinheii team who are nonetheless always difficult to beat and on a run of good scores themselves.

Next-to-basement Penmaenmawr Phoenix badly need points. Do they have what it takes to stop second-place Porthmadog in their tracks at Cae Sling?

At the start of the season, promoted Phoenix found out how tough life in Ardal North West could turn out to be when they crashed 7-1 at Port.
