BETTER POSITION - WORSE RECORD

By Dave Jones on Oct 24, 09 11:50 PM

COMPARED to the same stage last season, Rhyl are in a better position this term after 10 games, but have less points.
In 2008/09, after their 10th match the Lilywhites were in second place, two points behind Llanelli but with a game in hand.
Today the roles are reversed - Rhyl are top and three points ahead of Llanelli, who are third but have played one match less.

Also worth noting that last year 7 of the first 10 games were at home, whereas this season only 4 have been played at Belle Vue.
