HOLYHEAD Hotspur go to Flint Town United today more in hope than expectation, writes Keith Evans.

The Anglesey side are seeking their first away win of the season in the league’s match of the day between the third and sixth-placed rivals.

Holyhead’s manager Campbell Harrison said: “It is a big game for both teams. The result could well influence whether one or other continue in touch with the front-runners.

Curt Williams, Spurs’ 12-goal top scorer, will check out a hamstring problem while Mike Edwards, who has hit six in six games, will be involved.

Flint could be without three players, writes Mike McEvoy.

Ian Parry is on his honeymoon, Paul Williams is in in Amsterdam for his 18th birthday and talented Liam Jones is set to sign for Connah’s Quay Nomads. Meanwhile, Caersws have given notice for Flint striker Graham Randles.

Buckley Town boss Simon Sedgwick admits he needs to bring in some experienced campaigners to help his side escape the basement shackles, writes John Bridgwater.

The fourth-from-bottom side host Llandyrnog United today.

“We’ve got some promising young lads, but we need to add a couple of old heads to help steady the ship,” said Sedgwick.
