[traeth]

my early thoughts for this weekend

Aberystwyth [9th]v Port Talbot [6th] too close to call , Aber do struggle against sides higher in the league
Airbus [12th] v Rhyl [3rd]..I'll be on the away win here
Welshpool [7th]v Connah's Quay [15th]...I saw Welshpool two weeks ago ,I was not impressed , their home record is poor but they play the team with the worse record in the league, won't be considering this match
Cefn Druids [14th] v Porthmadog [17th]...My team Port are much better away and have and all their 5 wins have been away ,Cefn poor recently , I'm hoping for an away win but won't be betting unless there is significant team news

Caersws[16th] v Bangor [4th] ...Caersws have a terrible home record against an inform side who's only recent defeat was 1-0 at TNS
Haverfordwest [10th]v Llangefni [18th]..should be a home win
Llanelli [2nd]v Caernarfon [13th]...can't see anything but a home win but those odds are very restricting
T.N.S. [1st] v Carmarthen [5th]...TNS have an excellent home record , but Carmarthen are decent away .Carmarthen beat TNS in extra time at home in the cup on Tuesday of last week, so at those megre odds this match will not get any of my money
Neath [8th]v Newtown [11th]...looks like a draw , so a no bet

At this stage of the week it looks like Rhyl and Bangor for me

[traeth]

my friday evening bets in the Welsh Premier League are:

Rhyl @1.73 with bluesq

Rhyl's away record W6 D3 L2
Airbus home record W5 D2 L5

and selection from today's daily post

Feb 8 2008 by Our Correspondent, Daily Post

RHYL look like going into tonight’s testing game at Airbus UK without versatile Stuart Graves.

But brighter news is that recent capture Marc Lloyd Williams is eligible again after having to stand down at Haverfordwest due to an earlier appearance in the competition with Newtown.
Third-placed Rhyl, who just pipped Airbus 2-1 in their earlier meeting at Belle Vue are again preparing for an equally challenging encounter.

Front runner Paul Hallows misses Airbus' trip to Rhyl as he starts a three match suspension.

But player-boss Gareth Owen could take heart from a spirited display that more than matched their West Wales hosts, only to to be denied at the death.
Inconsistency, however, continues to haunt Airbus who have lost four of their last six outings but they have often proved stubborn opponents for Rhyl in recent meetings at the Airfield.

Goalkeeping has been a headache for Airbus, but Chris Doran could return between the posts tonight if fit.

Welshpool @ 1.67 with bluesq
Selection due to Connah's Quay away record and this preview from Welsh-Premier

Connah's Quay away record W2 D1 L9

CONNAH'S Quay boss Jim Hackett has lost two players from his squad.
Left back Allan Glover has returned to Bamber Bridge, six months after following Hackett's right-hand man Andy Lee from Congleton Town.
Glover had previous Welsh Premier experience Bangor City and Holywell and has made 23 appearances, as well as playing for Warrington Town, Northwich Victoria and Skelmersdale.
He has also represented England Under-18s and the British Universities.
Meanwhile, striker Tom Rowlands has returned to Heswall after playing just two games.
"Tom decided he wasn't enjoying playing in the Welsh Premier for Nomads so he has returned to Heswall," said Hackett.
8 February 2008

So in summary my bets are :
Rhyl @ 1.73 2 points
Welshpool @ 1.67 2 points

and a rarity for me
Rhyl and Welshpool double 1 point

[Napoleon Solo]

Port Talbot have only one recognised striker tonight after Chad Bond moved to Spain. They've only beaten one team away from home that's outside the bottom two.

Aberystwyth should be in buoyant mood after cup wins over Llanelli and Bangor.

Aberystwyth to beat Port Talbot @ 2.40 (Betway) - 2 points

Good luck Traeth!
