CONNAH’S Quay Nomads manager Jim Hackett will have former Wrexham starlet Michael Cronshaw available again for tonight’s crucial derby date at Airbus UK Broughton, writes Mike McEvoy.
The 17-year-old local Quay lad would have missed last Saturday’s home date with Haverfordwest as he was on representative duty for Wales under-18s.
Versatile Mark Cadwallader could come back into contention, while defender Alan Glover has recovered from a thigh strain and Gary Pinch’s one-match ban has ended.
Hackett said: “This is another extremely important match because if we can come away with three points it would put us level on points with Airbus and be a significant move away from danger, so we’ll be going flat out.”
Airbus UK Broughton will hope to continue their push towards safety tonight, writes John Bridgwater.
Airbus beat Port Talbot 1-0 in their last run out and will be aiming to continue.
Boss Gareth Owen said: “We were looking for a reaction after the Bangor game and we got it.
“It was backs to the walls for the last 20 minutes, but we dug in and battled and to keep a clean sheet was very pleasing.”
Defender Mark Allen and midfielder Alan Hooley are both suspended, which could see Gareth Sudlow and newcomer Matty Woodward filling in.
