SATURDAY, MAY 27, AT BASTION GARDENS, PRESTATYN, 12.30 PM KICK-OFF

CEFN ALBION

Graphic: Cefn Albion (with thanks)

Josh Roberts (GOALKEEPER)
Cefn stalwart who has been very loyal to the club and had a great season marshalling the beat defensive record in the league. Conceded just 19 goals in 23 league games. Great kicking and handling.

Nathan Williams (DEFENDER)
Captain of the team and twin brother to forward Alex. Cefn through and through and Mr Reliable who leads by example. Gives 100 percent every game, good in the air and strong tackler.

Ryan Kehoe (WINGER)
Ex Airbus and Bala Town winger with European football under his belt whose experience will be vital. Signed in January providing 9 goals and 5 assists from 11 games. Travels well with the ball and great delivery.

Callum Mannion (STRIKER)
In very good form with 10 goals in his last nine league games. Has netted 15 goals in 18 league outings and would surely have finished top scorer in the league had he played a few more games. Very lively player who leads the line well.

BANGOR 1876

Corrig McGonigle (STRIKER)
Has scored a phenomenal 54 goals in 34 matches for 1876 this season, and ended up top marksman in Ardal North West, netting 37 times – almost twice as many as his nearest rival.
Lively, great with head and feet, deadly finisher, he is also 1876’s all-time highest goal getter with 88 goals in 48 matches.

Liam Morris (WINGER)
Exciting left winger who has scored 20 goals this season, including finding the net in each of his last four goals.
Former Holyhead Hotspur and Conwy Borough player who is also a tremendous goal-maker as well as a consistent scorer.

Tom Clarke (DEFENDER)
Tall, commanding defender who can also be a big danger in the opposition box as he has proved many times.
Has scored eight goals in 29 appearances across all competitions this season. Previously with Conwy Borough, has been at Treborth for the past two campaigns.

Kian Owen (DEFENDER)
Dynamic young full-back who has been an almost ever-present this term, featuring in 33 games in an 1876 shirt.
Showed his versatility when deputising between the posts in 2-1 win at Rhyl 1879 last October after regular keeper Huw Shaw had gone off injured in the first half.
