TECHNOGROUP WELSHPOOL 1 (Griffiths 44)
RHYL 2 (M Williams 42, Turner 45)
WELSH PREMIER LEAGUE - APRIL 24, 2010
HE may not realise it but Rob Turner created a unique piece of history when he scored the winner for Rhyl at Maesydre yesterday.
Turner's 45th minute strike was Rhyl's 1,000TH GOAL in the Welsh Premier League!
It was fitting that this impressive front man was the scorer as he has the potential to become one of the best strikers to play for the club.
Yesterday's result meant the Lilywhites finished sixth in the WPL and just two points off a place in next season's Europa League.
While one incident in a whole campaign cannot be blamed for that, it does make Mark Whitby's controversial penalty decision against Aberystwyth last week that bit harder to swallow.
On a dreadful Maesydre pitch, Rhyl's final league game of 2009/10 was mainly a midfield battle with all the goal action coming in the last five minutes of the first half.
The visitors took the lead on 42 minutes when winger Chris Williams crossed from the left, Mark Connolly challenged keeper David Maguire and the ball broke free for Matthew Williams to knock in his 20th league goal of the season.
Rhyl were then denied a penalty for a blatant handball on the goal-line before Welshpool broke down the right and a cross into the box was superbly headed home by Marc Griffiths.
Moments later, though, the returning Turner, making his first full start after a long lay-off through a groin injury, provided a cracking finish from the edge of the area to make it 2-1 at half time.
The rest of the game was a virtual non-event with Rhyl's substitute keeper Paul Pritchard hardly troubled and the new-look centre-back partnership of Greg Strong and Russell Courtney solid as a rock.
Now it is on to Airbus on Tuesday and a League Cup final against WPL champions The New Saints.
It is hoped Rhyl may yet get some well-deserved silverware from this difficult season in which player-boss Strong has performed marvels in having to build two new teams yet ensure the Lilywhites have continued to compete with the best.

WELSH PREMIER LEAGUE - APRIL 22, 2010
DEFEAT at Stebonheath Park tonight ended Rhyl's hopes of qualifying for Europe, but Llanelli will go into their final game at Prestatyn Town on Saturday still in with a chance of winning the Welsh Premier title.
The Lilywhites took a 17th minute lead when Andrew Pearson beat three men and from the right of the box delivered the telling pass for Martyn Naylor to score from five yards.
Two minutes later Llanelli were level when Rhys Griffiths' shot came back off keeper Jack Cudworth and from six yards out Jordan Follows netted the rebound unchallenged.
The hosts edged in front on 29 minutes when Chris Venables crossed from the right and Follows' effort fell to the feet of an offside-looking Griffiths to fire in from close range.
The Lilywhites had other chances in the half, Matthew Williams having a shot saved before Pearson smacked the bar when it looked easier to score.
Llanelli made sure of the points on 72 minutes when Tyrone Kirk brought down Follows in the box and Griffiths converted from the spot.
Substitute Sam Heenan went close late on for the visitors from 25 yards while earlier Gareth Owen blasted just over the bar.

LLANELLI v RHYL
WELSH PREMIER LEAGUE
THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 2010 - 7.30pm
RHYL travel to Llanelli for an all-or-nothing Welsh Premier League clash tomorrow with the bonus of having striker Matthew Williams unexpectedly available after suspension.
When Williams was red-carded in Saturday's controversial 1-1 draw with Aberystwyth it was feared his one-match ban would apply to the game at Stebonheath Park, but the suspension was served on Monday night when the Lilywhites lost 1-0 in a hastily-arranged North Wales Coast Challenge Cup tie to Porthmadog.
Rhyl must win tomorrow to keep their hopes of qualifying for Europe alive while Llanelli need to do likewise to maintain their quest for the title.
"We've gone out to win every game this season and the same will apply at Llanelli," said Lilies player-manager Greg Strong.
"We can still see ourselves doing something. If we win our last two matches who knows; Aberystwyth have a difficult task against TNS on Saturday while Port Talbot play Bala who probably have to win to stay in the league.
"If we can take it to the last game it will be a fantastic achievement."
Striker Rob Turner, out with a groin strain for several weeks but who made a brief return as a substitute in the Porthmadog game, may be part of the squad for Llanelli, reports Strong.

RHYL 1 (Connolly 90)
ABERYSTWYTH TOWN 1 (Bowen pen 90+)
WELSH PREMIER LEAGUE - APRIL 17, 2010
WAS it or was it not a penalty?
The spot-kick decision which could have wrecked Rhyl's hopes of qualifying for Europe has been the subject of much debate over the past 24 hours.
After a bitter struggle to break down Aberystwyth's defence, Rhyl had taken a 90th minute lead through Mark Connolly's header and looked home and dry.
The season's second highest crowd of 842 - the Rhyl contingent at least - went wild and three points were in the Lilywhites' grasp.
Seconds later, however, Aber's Geoff Kellaway was tackled fairly on the edge of the area, but play moved on and substitute Geraint Passmore went flying.
Referee Mark Whitby pointed to the spot, Rhyl players reacted furiously and Matthew Williams, who was alleged to have committed the foul on Passmore, was red-carded for dissent.
Luke Bowen fired home the penalty and a draw was secured. It was definitely a deserved draw as far as Aber were concerned, but the nature of the equaliser left a bitter taste in the mouth.
Personally, I cannot give a cast-iron comment. My first instinct was Passmore had thrown himself over in the area in a desperate bid to win a penalty - i.e. dived.
I've only seen the incident once live and once on TV and still am not convinced either way. I'd need to see it again to be in a better position to give my opinion.
Was the angry reaction to Whitby's decision by Rhyl players totally down to the fact they disagreed with it, or was it part disappointment - a knee-jerk reaction to an incident which could cost the club thousands?
One thing's for sure, the result cannot be changed now and the Lilies need to win their final two games at Llanelli and Welshpool and hope their rivals slip up if they are to maximise their chances of reaching the Europa League.
Although the main talking points from Saturday's clash at Belle Vue came after the 90 minutes, the game itself was a very entertaining one and nothing like the two previous 0-0 bores at Rhyl between these sides.
Both keepers - Rhyl's Jack Cudworth and Aber's Dave Roberts - produced some fine stops and the shots never stopped flying in from both teams.
Rhyl probably came the closest to breaking the deadlock before it was eventually ended, Andrew Pearson and Chris Williams both hitting the crossbar.
But Aber were refreshingly lively and slick, the best I've seen them play at Belle Vue. Their passing was crisp, their play was pacy and it was a contest from the word go.
Rhyl took a while to find their stride, but as the game wore on it was notable the effect wingers Chris Williams and Tyrone Kirk were having on proceedings.
It was no surprise that Williams provided the assist for Connolly's goal, the ex-Stockport County wide man feeding in a lovely cross from the right and Rhyl's top scorer powered a header past Roberts for his 30th goal of the season.
In scoring Conno became the first player in the WPL to reach 30 in all competitions this term - ahead of Rhys Griffiths, Jamie Reed, Chris Sharp, Martin Rose - the lot. What a season he has had.
The Conno goal looked to have provided a fitting end to a home campaign which has been at times frustrating but very often exciting, but the visitors' penalty ensured it finished on a low note for Greg Strong's men.
On to Llanelli on Thursday now, sadly without the suspended Matthew Williams.
It is a case of relying on others for favours and Rhyl have had few of those this season - especially at the hands of officials.

RHYL: Cudworth, Naylor, Dowling, Strong, Ojapah (Doran 34), Leah, C Williams, Pearson, Connolly, M Williams, Kirk. Unused subs: Owen, Owens, Heenan.

RHYL v ABERYSTWYTH TOWN
WELSH PREMIER LEAGUE - APRIL 17, 2010
THE term six-pointer could have been invented for this Saturday's clash at Belle Vue.
Rhyl must win to keep alive their hopes of a top three finish and Europa League qualification, while Aberystwyth certainly cannot afford to lose either.
The Lilywhites will be aiming to make it a remarkable 21 league matches unbeaten against Aber, although the foremost thing on their minds will of course be three points.
Aber have not beaten the Lilies in the Welsh Premier since February 8, 2000 when goals from Martyn Griffiths and Wayne Hewitt secured the green and blacks a 2-1 win at Park Avenue, Jon Fisher-Cooke responding for Rhyl.
It is even longer since Aber won at Belle Vue - the 1996/97 season to be exact.
Interestingly, Aber were also the first ever team Rhyl beat in the Welsh Premier. A 3-2 victory was secured on September 10, 1994 at Belle Vue with Tony Livens, Timmy Steel and an own goal bagging a first ever three points for the Lilywhites in the WPL at the fourth attempt.
In 31 WPL meetings between the clubs, Rhyl have won 15, Aber just five and there have been 11 draws. Aber gave gained 0-0 results on their last two visits to Belle Vue.
Left-back Phil Doran is back from suspension for the Lilywhites and Andy Owens has recovered from injury but neither is guaranteed a place in a team which has picked up two heroic away victories in the past week at Haverfordwest and Carmarthen.

WELL-KNOWN Rhyl fan Mike Jones typified the spirit of loyal Lilywhites supporters on Tuesday.
Rhyl's top scorer Mark Connolly was unable to get out of work in time to meet the team bus travelling to Carmarthen, so Mike picked up Conno later on in his car from Chester and drove him down to west Wales.
"He must have broken the land-speed record as they arrived in Carmarthen before the team bus!," said Rhyl secretary Kevin Davies.
"The club is extremely grateful to Mike for his kind gesture which typifies the sort of spirit which exists among Rhyl's loyal supporters."
