THREE POINTS A MUST AT RECREATION GROUND

WELSH PREMIER LEAGUE
MARCH 27, 2010

VICTORY for Rhyl on Saturday will edge them to within two points of third-placed Aberystwyth with a game in hand and a vastly superior goal difference.
But in view of the recent shock results in the Welsh Premier, Lilywhites player-manager Greg Strong insists there will be no complacency in the champions' camp when they take on next bottom Caersws.
"I always tell the players they've got to prepare as though they are preparing to play the very best for every game," said Strong.
"Caersws won't be treated any differently to anyone else - we'll show them the utmost respect."
Strong recalled Rhyl having it anything but easy last November when his team had to battle hard to beat the Bluebirds 3-1 at Belle Vue.
"They gave us a tough game at our place; they were well organised and did well. I'm expecting it to be the same on Saturday."
Rhyl striker Rob Turner is still struggling to overcome a groin strain and may well miss out again, while utility man Russell Courtney is absent due to an ankle injury.
Winger Tyrone Kirk has a good chance of being involved despite an ankle problem spoiling his chances of a trial at Scottish Premier League club St Johnstone last week.
Strong said Kirk may still get an opportunity to go through his paces for the Saints, but insisted Rhyl's needs must come first.
"It's a case of wait and see," added the boss. "It would have been convenient for him to go there last week because of the way games fell for us, but now we'll need to find a window for when it doesn't clash with our schedule. We're still hopeful it can be rearranged, though. We'd never want to stand in a player's way."
