LOOSEMORES LEAGUE CUP QUARTER-FINALS
ANDY Moran's hat-trick helped Rhyl advance to the semi-finals of the League Cup at the expense of the Welsh Premier's bottom club tonight.
Aiming to reach the final of this competition for the fifth time in six seasons, the Lilywhites were good value for their win, especially on their dynamic second half performance.

RHYL 1 (Hunt 65)
BANGOR CITY 2 (Limbert 9 pen, Seargeant 38)
IN the proverbial game of two halves Bangor City claimed their first victory over Rhyl in 11 attempts.
The visitors deserved to be 2-0 ahead at half time, but the Lilywhites pulled a goal back on 65 minutes and were pushing hard for an equaliser until Lee Hunt's sending off turned the game.

THERE'S gonna be a Brownskill Breakout! There's gonna be a Brownskill Breakout! There's gonna be a Brownskill Breakout! There's gonna be a Brownskill....Breakout!!!
Ahhh good old Sham 69. If only Jimmy Pursey had been a Rhyl fan, we'd have had 100 chanting songs all of our own.

FAW technical director Osian Roberts has joined the management team at Rhyl Football Club, Lilywhites Online can exclusively reveal.
Roberts will take on an advisory role at Belle Vue, working with the club as and when his full-time commitments allow.

RHYL v BANGOR CITY
SATURDAY 2.30PM
IT is quite an astonishing statistic that the 26 League of Wales/Welsh Premier meetings between Rhyl and Bangor City since 1994/95 have not produced one draw.
City lead by 16 victories to 10 in the series, although in recent times things have gone very much the way of the Lilywhites who have won the last four and six of the last eight.

THE Llangefni Town v Rhyl Welsh Premier League Cup quarter-final will now be played next Tuesday, November 27, at 7.45pm.
The tie was meant to take place last night but was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

TONIGHT'S League Cup quarter-final between Llangefni Town and Rhyl has been called off due to a waterlogged pitch caused by heavy rain on Anglesey.
The tie will be rearranged for a later date.

LLANGEFNI TOWN v RHYL
WELSH PREMIER LEAGUE CUP QUARTER-FINAL
TONIGHT 7.30pm
WITH a fifth League Cup final appearance in six seasons in their sights, John Hulse’s Rhyl side travel to Anglesey tonight for a last eight clash with Llangefni Town.
The Lilywhites will be buoyed by Sunday’s 7-2 thrashing of Caersws which kept them third in the Welsh Premier, while Cefni's relegation worries grew after a 3-0 defeat at Aberystwyth.

LEE Hunt recorded his 100th league and cup goal for Rhyl when he netted his second against Caersws today.
Hunt joined the Lilywhites in the 2003/04 season and has played a major role in all the team's trophy-winning successes of recent campaigns.
