RHYL'S left-sided specialist Stuart Graves will be back in training this week following a nasty ankle injury he suffered in the March 18 Challenge Cup final defeat at Aberystwyth against Caersws.
Graves missed Friday's night 3-2 win at NEWI Cefn Druids, but John Hulse said he might come into contention for this Saturday's titanic tussle with Welsh Premier leaders TNS.

ALTHOUGH Rhyl striker Chris Sharp has returned to light training he is unlikely to feature in competitive action before the end of the season, manager John Hulse has revealed.
Sharp, 20, suffered a double leg break during the Lilywhites' 2-1 UEFA Cup defeat against FK Suduva in Lithuania last July, and the recovery process has proved slow.

RHYL Reserves' hopes of lifting the Welsh Alliance League title received a double jolt on Saturday.
Not only did chief rivals, second-placed Denbigh Town, win 4-1 at Pwllheli, Simon Sedgwick's side also lost six points due to the resignation from the league of Sealand Rovers.

RHYL RESERVES 3 (Booth 32, 46; Shorrocks 41)

RHYL Reserves fought back from 2-0 down to beat their bogey side and win a place in the Barritt Cup semi-finals.

HOTSHOT Lee Hunt kept up his remarkable scoring record against Druids with a crucial double strike in Friday night's victory.

PROGRAMME OF THE WEEK
Each week, starting this Monday, Visitor production editor and keen football programme collector Mark Jones will be featuring a classic Lilywhites issue from years gone by.
It might be from 50 years or five years ago, it might be a home or away fixture, it might be from a league game, a friendly or a famous cup tie but whatever the choice, it's bound to bring back memories for all Rhyl supporters whatever their age.

REVENGE will be on the minds of Rhyl Reserves when they take on Llanrug United in a Pentraeth Honda Barritt Cup quarter-final at Belle Vue this Saturday (March 24).
Earlier this month, Simon Sedgwick's side were thrashed 4-1 at Llanrug in the Cookson Cup semi-finals - the Lilywhites first defeat in 26 matches.

THE battle for the 2006/07 Welsh Alliance League championship has become a two-horse race between Rhyl Reserves and Denbigh Town.
After their 2-0 win over Rhyl at Central Park on Saturday (March 17), Tim Dyer's Denbigh side are now the title favourites, but there are still plenty of points to play for.

NEWI Cefn Druids could pull in their biggest home attendance of the season when Rhyl visit Plaskynaston Lane this Friday (March 23).
The largest crowd at Cefn Mawr to date this term was the 255 which saw Druids take on Newtown in November, but with Rhyl boasting the most fervent travelling support in the league, that figure could easily be toppled on Friday.

RHYL'S top scorer Lee Hunt could hold the key to the Lilywhites' chances of a morale-boosting victory at NEWI Cefn Druids this Friday night (March 23).
Plaskynaston has been a happy-hunting ground for the 16-goal striker, who has netted five times on his last three visits there.
