We're all set for a busy midweek of Ardal League action

Rhos make the short trip to neighbours Penycae having drawn all three of their opening league games. 'Since joining Rhos, my continued aim with the squad is to be difficult to beat and over the first games that has certainly been the case,' said Jones. 'But our next move is to start converting them to victories - arguably, we should have won all based on chances created.' Hosts Penycae have had a brilliant start to the season and are joint leaders alongside Llanuwchllyn. 'Penycae away is just another game in a competitive division and as with all fixtures, we're looking forward to it.' Llanuwchllyn are top on goal difference and they host a Bow Street who will also be challenging for top spot as they have done in previous campaigns. The other derby clash is at Llangollen Town where Cefn Albion are the visitors. Lex XI will be confident of chalking up their first win of the season as they host bottom-of-the-table Llanrhaeadr. Other fixtures: Builth Wells v Knighton; Kerry v Radnor Valley; Llandrindod Wells v Llanfair Utd. In the North West League, Llay Welfare head to Mynydd Isa after caning Connah's Quay Town 5-0. 'We took the positives we needed to build on and implemented them to get our reward,' said Llay boss Neill Hughes. 'Ellis Hickey returns and Scotty Swords is available for the first time this season. It's a huge game for both sides as both are looking to stabilise after a mixed start to the season.' The only way is up for Connah's Quay Town who sit bottom of the table ahead of the home clash against St Asaph City, who are also pointless. Town manager Gary McConnell pulled no punches and said: 'It was a very poor performance on Saturday. Not taking anything away from Llay as I thought they were excellent. We started fairly well but it was one-way traffic once Llay broke the deadlock. 'I am looking for a big reaction from the lads against St Asaph. They know that Saturday's performance was not good enough and they are hurting from it. 'St Asaph have not had a bright start either and with their manager leaving last week.' With leaders Bangor City 1876 playing tomorrow night, a whole host of sides can grab top spot tonight. Llangefni Town are favourites to do that if they beat Penmaenmawr Phoenix at home. Third-placed NFA head to Trearddur Bay while Prestatyn Town, in fourth place, are at home to Llanrwst United. Porthmadog, who also boast a 100 per cent record, host Felinheli while Bethesda Athletic go to Pwllheli.
