FIXTURES
Haverfordwest V Aberystwyth ...in the tightest group , difficult game to predict
Llanelli v Port Talbot ...Llanelli last game in the group , need a win to ensure progression , Port Talbot need two good wins , improbable , Llanelli win ...strangely not offered by bet365 or paddies
Newtown v Cefn Druids ... this should be comfortable home win for Newtown as Cefn are a poor away side , bottom of the league , and have a bottom of the table clash against Port on Friday.
Porthmadog v Bangor ...Port with no chance of progression will be resting players for Friday's clash with Cefn, Bangor playing well should be an easy away win ,Bangor won 6-0 at Port in August in the league and won 3-0 at home in Sept in this comp . Bangor win
Welshpool v Rhyl ..Rhyl will use their big squad to get the win to ensure progression
Connah's Quay v Prestatyn ... only a romote chance of going through for both these sides so difficult to predict a winner.

My bet would be :
Llanelli @ ?
Newtown @ 1.8
Bangor @ 1.7
Rhyl @ 1.72

I like the Bangor call Treath I was thinking they would be 1.5 ish from your write up , cheers

I have Llanelli @ 1.30 in local shop.

Bangor+ Newtown + Llanelli in treble

Rhyl is a bit risky since they may be satisfied with draw, but I still believe in their straight win, especially because hosts have to win in order to stay in a battle for 1st place.
Single point doesn't mean anything to W'pool...in that case they have to win by 9 goals margin in last round to proceed...mission impossible.
That scenario and possibly open game is better for Rhyl.

Those 4 mentioned games in over 2,5 combo.
