some quick thoughts

Friday
Port Talbot vs Neath ... a derby match , Neath are one of the form teams now

Saturday
Carmarthen vs Airbus ...Carmarthen have had a poor start to this season against the draw specialists
Newtown vs Afan Lido ...bottom side against the new boys , Afan Lido could get an away win here
New Saints vs Aberystwyth ...the league leaders against a side that have managed to draw three times away , not this weekend though
Prestatyn vs Llanelli ...getting tempted to go for the away win as Llanelli are winning well at the moment

Sunday
Bala Town vs Bangor ...An interesting match betting-wise-both sides on equal points. Bala Town started their season well but have faltered in their last two matches against 2nd and 3rd placed clubs.
Bangor start has not been as good as last season ! Their two defeats have been against the top two clubs though.

Prestatyn vs Llanelli
Prestatyn are midtable and have had a "midtable" start , beating the poor sides of the league and losing to the top clubs.
Llanelli third in the league , top scorers and are one of the form sides having won their last four matches.
I think anything above evens is a decent price

my bet Llanelli @ 2.10 with bluesq

TNS v Aber
TNS were knocked off the top of the table by last night's Neath win will be hoping to return to the top after today's match.
TNS have won their last six matches , Aber have started poorly this season with only one win against bottom club Newtown in August.
The last two seasons have seen TNS score well against Aber , who were a better side in those seasons

2010/2011
TNS Aberystwyth 5:0
2009/2010
TNS Aberystwyth 4:0

With the odds for a straight win being poor, I can see TNS winning this one by a few goals so I'm going with the asian handicap

TNS -2.25 @ 2.07 with bet365

Thanks traeth - I followed you on both. I couldn't find a bookie doing a decent price on TNS' handicap so just went for the straight win - fortunately.

today's results

Carmarthen 3-1 Airbus
Newtown 2-1 Afan Lido
Prestatyn Town 0-2 Llanelli
The New Saints 3-2 Aberystwyth

well done thunder , I'm down very slightly on today's welsh football , perhaps tomorrow will be different

Sunday's match
Bala Town v Bangor
5th versus 4th both teams on equal points
Bala Town started well but have lost their last two matches , although that was against top clubs Llanelli and Neath.
They were well beaten by those clubs:
Neath 4-0 Bala Town
Bala Town 2-4 Llanelli
Bangor's start has not been as good as last season, they have suffered two defeats against TNS and Neath.
This season Bangor's defence has been leaky. They have conceeded in every game apart from last week when they played bottom club Newtown.
In most matches this season Bangor have had to come back from their poor starts, this is a good sign of their commitment.

my bet Bangor @ 2.5 with Ladbrokes
