NEWI CEFN DRUIDS v RHYL
WELSH PREMIER LEAGUE
FRIDAY, 7.30pm
IT will be reunion time for John Hulse when he visits Plaskynaston this Friday - but there can be no room for sentiment from Rhyl's manager.
Three points are paramount for the Lilywhites if they are to maintain the pressure on the Welsh Premier's top two Llanelli and TNS.

The Cefn Druids squad includes Timmy Edwards, Mark Powell and Chris McGinn, all key figures in Rhyl's trophy winning campaigns under Hulse's managership.
"They've (Druids) had some queer results, some very good ones at home and a few thrashings away," said Hulse.
"But they've got a big squad packed with experience and are capable of making life difficult for us. They're a Jekyll and Hyde team really, but we'll need to work hard to get a result."
Druids currently lie 13th in the table with four wins and six defeats, but those victories include beating champions TNS, Connah's Quay Nomads and Caersws.
Rhyl are in fourth and cannot afford to drop any more points.
A key figure is likely to be Lee Hunt, who has scored seven goals on his last four visits to Plaskynaston and needs just three more to reach 100 for the Lilywhites.
The teams have locked horns 16 times since Druids joined the League of Wales in 1999/2000, Rhyl boasting nine wins, Cefn four and there have been three draws. The Lilies are unbeaten in their last 10 meetings with the Ancients.
