Orrell Red Triangle v Colwyn Bay

Bay will be without three key players in Adam Campion, Harry Ramsden and Will Higginson for tomorrow’s visit to Orrell Red Triangle.

Tom Roberts and Jamie Moorhouse step up from the seconds for Colwyn, who eased their relegation fears by beating Lytham last weekend, but another victory at Orrell would be most welcome.

Skipper Sion Morris said: “I was happy with the win last weekend, we did what was needed to do which was get a win on the board. Now we have a chance of getting ourselves out of the relegation zone by putting a few wins together.”

After stopping the rot with a great win over Rainford last weekend, Prestatyn will seek further progress at Wavertree.

Skipper David Harris said: “After a fantastic win last week we will be looking to keep up the momentum and build on that performance.

“We have been really good in the field and bowlers have been consistent in recent weeks and hopefully we can keep that up and take some confidence into the next few games.”

Key players Gaz Boughey, Adam Tidswell and Rhys Jones all return for Prestatyn.

2nd XI Second Division
Parkfield Liscard v Northop Hall

Liam Evans-Ford and Gareth Fox both drop down into the side as Harrison Speed and Tom Doggett make way from last week’s team.
