Match Preview

The Wellmen return to Halkyn Road for the first time since the 4-0 demolition of Holyhead Hotspur on the 2nd of December, and extend a warm welcome to Ruthin Town. Saturday's visitors are in great form, having beaten Guilsfield last weekend and beat neighbours Denbigh Town in the big Boxing Day derby so we know we are in for a tough game.

The Wellmen go into the game full of confidence after last weekend's excellent win at Holyhead Hotspur, where Captain Steve Thomas scored the only goal to give the Wellmen the points. The win lifted Holywell Town to 2nd in the Huws Gray Alliance League and victory against Ruthin Town will consolidate Town's league position.

The Wellmen will be without Steve Lewis who serves a one match ban following picking up 5 yellow cards, and Phil Lloyd is out with ankle ligament damage picked up in last week's game at Holyhead. Paul Williams returns to the fray after missing last week's game through illness, and Manager John Haseldin adds Ryan Davies and Lee Emberton to the squad.

Holywell Town have made the trip to Ruthin earlier in the season, and a last minute goal by the home side secured a point for them in a 4-4 draw. Town's scorers that day were Mark Winslade, Steve Thomas, Jamie McDaid and Gareth Sudlow. Hopefully Saturday's game will be just as entertaining with a Holywell victory at the end of 90 minutes. The match kicks of at 2.30pm and the clubn are hoping the supporters turn up in force to cheer the lads on to victory.

See you there......
