FINAL TARGET FOR THE LILYWHITES

CONNAH'S QUAY NOMADS v RHYL
WELSH PREMIER LEAGUE - FRIDAY 7.30pm
ALTHOUGH they have already qualified for the UEFA Cup, Rhyl have set one more target going into tonight's final game of the season at Connah's Quay.
Lilywhites assistant manager Neil Young says the aim is to end the campaign with the least number of defeats in the Welsh Premier.

While TNS are worthy champions, they have lost four league games this season but Rhyl have suffered just three losses.
"We've hit our target of reaching the UEFA Cup which is a great achievement considering we are vying for the top two places with two full-time clubs," said Young.
"We've also had a lot of injuries this season - and bad ones - which have meant key players being out of action for some time.
"Lee Hunt's season didn't start till October, Gareth Wilson had a long injury lay-off and Adie Moody too.
"What we want now is to end the season with the least number of defeats in the league."
For tonight's game at Cae y Castell, Rhyl will be without skipper George Horan who sustained a double cheekbone fracture in Tuesday's draw with Llanelli. Horan, a former Nomads player, will be out for up to eight weeks.
Alex Hay will also be missing after undergoing a minor knee operation on Wednesday. The ex-Tranmere Rovers and Rushden and Diamonds forward should be back in training in about five weeks.
Top scorer Hunt, who went off with a back injury against Llanelli, is expected to be passed fit for tonight.
"His back's not too bad but he's also torn ligaments in a hand which is strapped up so whether he'll actually play tonight is another matter," added Young.
"Gaz Wilson also picked up a knock against Llanelli, but should be ok. We'll also be bringing Mitchell Booth and Dylan Owen into the squad."
Rhyl have gone seven league matches unbeaten against Nomads and 10 games in all competitions.
Nev Powell's side are assured of equalling their best ever WPL position of fifth after a promising season which saw them just miss out on a European place.
"Nomads will be tough opposition, a lot of ex-Rhyl players play for them," Young pointed out.
"They'll be up for it, but so will we."
RHYL SQUAD: Paul Whitfield, Mark Powell, Chris Roberts, Mark Connolly, Matthew Holt, James Brewerton, Ross Stephens, Dave Cameron, Andy Moran, Conall Murtagh, Paul Roberts, Lee Hunt, Gareth Wilson, Mitchell Booth, Dylan Owen, John Gann.
