LLANRWST UNITED v RHYL RESERVES
WELSH ALLIANCE LEAGUE
SATURDAY 2.30pm
REVENGE will be on the minds of Rhyl Reserves when they visit Llanrwst United this weekend determined to build on Saturday's landmark victory over Bethesda.
Jon Stazicker's side returned to the top of the Welsh Alliance by ending Pesda's 100% record but they will now want to also break the hearts of a Rwsters outfit who are the only team to beat them at Belle Vue this season.
Chris Williams' men were convincing 3-0 winners at BV in December, and with United also occupying third spot they will present another tough hurdle for the Lilies on Saturday.
But after beating Bethesda, who were on a run of 15 straight wins, who need Rhyl fear!
"I'm overwhelmed," admitted Stazicker after last Saturday's win.
"It's not a case of beating Bethesda so much as gaining three points, but we proved we are a top team like them.
"I also thought Sam Brewerton did an excellent job as stand-in keeper in the second half."
Rhyl took a 37th minute lead when Tom Patel finished off Mike Roose's cross from close range.
Two minutes later Pesda were level when Richie Owen headed home.
The hosts were unlucky not to win a penalty before the break when Carl Thomas handled Roose's shot on the line.
Rhyl's well deserved winner arrived when Roose finished off Patel's brilliant cross in the 64th minute for his 22nd goal of the season.
