TEST OF STRENGTH FOR LLANDYSUL

League leaders Llandysul will this afternoon face Aberaeron Reserves without key midfielders Terry Maynard and Ian Barrett, talented defender Scott Mayes and the ever reliable Sion Price.

Manager Chris Davies confirmed that hard tackling midfielder Ben Thomas would return and in form striker Simon Davies is included and the Swallows will have a better idea this afternoon of whether they have a squad strong enough to go with their title favourites tag.

Two impressive opening two wins suggest that they are going to be the team that will lead the way for some time to come but Aberaeron will test them on a greasy Cae Sgwar this afternoon.

The match of the day takes place at Lampeter where St Dogmaels take on Tommy Lovell and co and the Saints will have been boosted by a very convincing win in midweek against Cilgerran.

Manager Chris Thomas said that he was looking forward to the challenge today and was full of praise for his team on Tuesday night in what he described as another brilliant team effort following on from the performance away at Parc Emlyn and this physical clash should be an intriguing one.

Cardigan Town will look to build on their 6-0 win over Crannog with the visit of Dewi Stars although the Magpies team is yet to be confirmed and will depend on the availability of midfielders like James Evans and Emlyn George who made such a difference in midweek.

New Quay open their campaign when they entertain Cilgerran Rovers a club who last played a first division league match on the seasiders strip back in the eighties. Rovers manager Neil Morgan will be keen to get his men back on course following a heavy defeat at the hands of the Saints in midweek and there won’t be much between the two teams.

Football though will be the real winner of this game and followers of the sport in Ceredigion will be very pleased to see that the greens have managed to get a side together after so many problems and this is down to the hard work of people like Charles Harvey.

Crannog left the King George shaking their heads in midweek wondering how on earth such a promising start had ended in a six goal drubbing as Dylan Vaughan Evans and his men played really well in the opening half hour but three goals in quick succession changed everything.

Newcastle Emlyn are a team in good form but they know they will have their hands full this afternoon against a tight group of players who will still be hurting.

Bargod Rangers are yet to register a point but young manager Jack Fisher will be looking to change all that this afternoon with the visit of Felinfach.

Unbeaten Division two side Maesglas tackle Ffostrasol this afternoon at Maes Radley and this contest between two of the more fancied teams in the division promises to be an entertaining affair.

Pencader, who many expect to be pushing for promotion this term and who were unlucky not to pick up three points against the Wanderers on Wednesday night entertain Llanboidy at the Park and Kevin Evans and his men will be favourites to collect their first win of the season.
