Holywell Town face Penrhyndeudraeth in the FAW Trophy on Saturday looking to make it a great week for the Wellmen.

Town travel to Llandudno's Maesdu Stadium looking to lift the Trophy for the 2nd time in 4 years following the victory over Conwy United back in 2010/11. Town will be full of confidence after Tuesday night's win at Llanrwst, which also won the Wellmen the League Championship.

Many are saying the Wellmen are favorites to lift the Trophy, but we will not take anything for granted as we remember that last season, the Wellmen lost to Penrhyndeudraeth in the FAW Trophy competition and having seen how 5th placed Penrhyndeudraeth are playing of late will not make this an easy game and being a cup match, League form goes out of the window.

Manager John Haseldin has a full squad to choose from except for Stuart Hayes who is unavailable and Graham Boylan has been brought into the squad. Upfront, Town will be looking to Sam Jones to be among the goals again, fresh from his hat trick midweek at Llanrwst. Phil Lloyd will also be looking to add to his tally of goals in competition as he has already netted 7 times in previous rounds.
Mike Platt also returns in goal after work commitments meant he couldn't be at Llanrwst on Tuesday.

Looking at the form book, Penrhyndeudraeth ended a spell of 2 league defeats with a 2-1 victory at Gwalchmai last weekend, whilst Town travelled to Llanberis and picked up a point before the victory on Tuesday night at Llanrwst.

The Wellmen will have an excellent following at Llandudno on Saturday with supporters travelling by cars, supporters coaches and trains. For those travelling by car, directions on how to get to Llandudno's pitch is as follows:

Leave the A55 at Junction 19 and take the A470 towards Llandudno. On approaching the Town and after a stretch of dual carriageway, turn left at the Links hotel roundabout into Maesdu Road. After Passing the school playing fields on the right, turn sharp right into Builders Street West. Travel Approximately 400 yards and the ground is on the right. Postcode LL30 1HH

Please make every effort to get down to Llandudno on Saturday to cheer the lads on to victory, they do appreciate the support and hopefully the lads can do us all proud!

Come on the Town!
