We can’t let fear get the better of us - Porthmadog

SECOND-bottom Porthmadog will go for the jugular when they host Rhyl today looking to pull off a last-ditch escape from relegation.
The Traeth side need to win to have a chance of staying up, and will be looking to avenge a 1-0 defeat at Belle Vue on Easter Monday.
Manager Viv Williams said: “We need the three points, obviously, and intend to adopt a positive mood and go for the win.
“At the same time, we recognise the Rhyl threat, because they are in third place, have invariably finished near the top and were champions four seasons ago.
“This is just like a cup final and we have to ensure we are up for it, keep our discipline and take our chances when they come.”
Matthew Hughes, who has hit 35 goals for the reserves in the Gwynedd League, will be promoted to the senior squad and utility man Richard Hughes will return after missing last Saturday’s 0-0 draw in Carmarthen.
Porthmadog are missing Rhys Roberts, who is banned after Saturday’s dismissal, and Richard Smart and Danny Hughes, who have work demands.
Rhyl manager John Hulse dismissed fears that his side would be soft-pedalling against Porthmadog, writes Mike McEvoy.
Anxious to allay the concerns of Porthmadog’s relegation rivals that the Lilywhites – who are guaranteed third – would be travelling simply for the ride, Hulse said: “We will be going flat out for a win.
“As far as we are concerned we will be looking for three points and we owe that total commitment to all the clubs involved and to the League.”
With Llangefni Town and Caersws also sweating on the result, Hulse has no intention of easing off the throttle.
He said: “We still have an important Loosemores Cup final to come against Llanelli at Newtown on Sunday week so I am sure my players will want to impress.”
Hulse is hoping that Craig Jones and Greg Stones will return to face Porthmadog while Carl Ruffer and Craig Garside are doubtful and Jimmy Kelly is still out.
