I'm not betting on these matches but have posted up the match previews from my local paper about the North Wales fixtures

Airbus v Bangor

The latest rumour about Bangor's manager doing the rounds up here covered by Daily Post

STEVE BLEASDALE has denied reports that he is in line to take over as manager of struggling Southport in the Conference and has pledged his future to Bangor City.
“I want to do the business for chairman Ken Jones and Bangor, and my aim is to get the team up to a top five place in the second half of the Welsh Premier season,” he said.
Liverpool-based Bleasdale, who arrived at Farrar Road in November after having made a TV-filmed exit from Peterborough United last season, said the Southport talk was pure rumour.
“In football, rumour is rife and the fact is that no one from that club has contacted me, although about 20 of my friends and associates have been on the phone to tell me I am in for the job,” he added.
“If a Football League club were to come along, offering a few grand a week, then obviously I would have to look at it, but my commitment is to Bangor.

and the latest news

“Our squad is looking stronger and more solid, the players are getting to know me and I am getting to know them – and things are developing nicely.”
A big plus for City and Bleasdale ahead of tonight’s tricky visit to next-to-bottom Airbus UK is the return of captain Paul O’Neill.
The centre-back has been out of action for several weeks, initially because of a broken toe and then a bout of flu made him miss last Saturday’s showdown with The New Saints.
O’Neill is likely to start at the Broughton ground, where Bangor fear that heavy pitch conditions will contribute to the risk of defeat.
Bleasdale said: “We must be on our mettle to get a result against a team who are fighting for their lives near the bottom of the table.
“We have three difficult games coming up, with Welshpool and Carmarthen to follow, and my aim is to collect six points out of nine if we can – and certainly losing is not to be considered.”
Airbus are ready to ring the changes as they bid to halt their alarming Welsh Premier slump in tonight’s home clash, writes John Bridgwater.
Eight straight defeats have left the Wingmakers deep in relegation danger, with last Friday’s 6-3 hammering at Welshpool underlining their defensive shortcomings.

Bangor should win this match




Cefn Druids v Caersws

Match preview from Daily Post Jan 12 2007 .I've bolded the missing player , Heverin will be missed as he's scored 8 fom 23 league goals for Cefn.

NEWI Cefn Druids look to put their revival back on track when they host fellow basement rivals Caersws tonight.
The Ancients have been steadily climbing away from trouble in recent weeks, but last Saturday’s 4-0 reverse at Carmarthen was a timely reminder there is still plenty of work to be done.
And manager Dixie McNeil, who missed the west Wales setback, is looking for a swift riposte from his side who have still won four of their last six outings.
“We had been showing a lot more pride in our performances so we were surprised how it ended up 4-0 last week after we had been in the game for 70 minutes,” he said.
“But that’s gone now, we’ve got to put it behind us and concentrate on getting up the table and making sure we’re safe.”
Druids striker Mike Heverin is suspended after being dismissed last week, although tonight’s game could face a pitch inspection following recent heavy rain.
Caersws, with just one league win in 12 league outings, are anticipating a stern test as they bid to boost their own prospects of pushing up the table.
They are again hampered with selection problems, with defender Colin Reynolds and midfielder Martin Plant both likely to be suspended for the trip to Plaskynaston.
Striker Graham Evans is rated 50-50 with a hamstring problem, while midfielder Graham Jones again misses out with a thigh muscle problem.
“It’s a big game as the Druids are on a decent run and must now be the most experienced side in the league,” said Caersws manager Mickey Evans.
