| Table-toppers clash on Friday night |
| Friday 10 September 2010 |
 TABLE-topping Bangor City and second-placed Airbus UK Broughton clash in a Welsh Premier showdown at Farrar Road on Friday night. The Citizens have a 100% record, while the Wingmakers have won three in a row since opening day defeat at the hands of Llanelli. "Everyone can’t wait for Friday night - it’s a great game to look forward to," City boss Nev Powell told the Daily Post. "Everyone’s fit and everyone wants to play in a winning side, which is exactly how I like it." Airbus boss Craig Harrison wants a repeat of Saturday's 2-0 victory over Port Talbot. "I was delighted not just with the result but with the overall performance, which I thought was first class," he says. "Port Talbot are a good side so this was a massive victory for us." Llanelli bid to build on last week's 2-1 home victory over champions The New Saints when they travel to play Haverfordwest at the New Bridge Meadow. But the Bluebirds have run into form, winning at Bala on Sunday and then knocking big-spenders Neath out of the League Cup. "We are expecting a very tough match," says Reds' player-manager Andy Legg. "Haverfordwest only lost to us last season after we grabbed a late penalty and I feel they are stronger this season with the players they have brought in. "We are still without well over half the team due to injuries and the situation has not improved at all since last week. "It's a desperate situation but one we can do nothing about so we just get on with it." "After two successive defeats, Port Talbot need a victory over Aberystwyth Town at the GenQuip Stadium. "For the first time in a while we are in a pressurised situation," says Steelmen's boss Mark Jones. "We need to get our season back on track. I just hope the supporters come out in force tonight after we lost our last home game to Carmarthen. I'm hoping we can attract a crowd of over 400. "Aberystwyth will bring a good following so it should make for a nice atmosphere. "We need to give them something to cheer and a win will do that, but it will be very difficult as Aber are a very good outfit, as they showed in beating Carmarthen in the League Cup this week." Karl Lewis is missing through suspension, while Gareth Phillips remains doubtful with a hamstring problem. |
