1 THE DRUID IN THIS ISSUE HISTORY OF THE CYMRU ALLIANCE PART LEAGUE TABLES NEXT WEEK S FIXTURES 6 MATCH PREDICTION RESULTS

2 WEATHER WINS AGAIN For the second week in a row, Druids were left kicking their heels because of the weather. To compound things even more, they were replaced at the top of the league by Caernarfon by virtue of their 7-1 demolition of Denbigh Town on Friday night. Huw Griffiths plan to give the players some match time by taking the Reserve team fixture was also scuppered when the Rock was also deemed unplayable. Instead the players were put through a rigorous extra training session ahead of next Monday s clash with Prestatyn Town at the Rock, a match which could well have an influence at the top of the league. Prestatyn, who were relegated from the Welsh Premier along with Druids at the end of last season, have only lost once on the road this season and could take over at the top of the league depending on results elsewhere as could Druids who are on a run of six consecutive wins. An exciting match is in prospect and the match kicks off at the Rock at 2.30pm.
