WELSH PREMIER LEAGUE THE NEW SAINTS v NEWTOWN AFC Saturday 17 Jan 2009 / Park Hall / 2.30pm

TNS dropped two points at Latham Park this season.

THE New Saints are set to hand a debut to talented midfielder Conall Murtagh as they return to action after a two-week break against Newtown at Park Hall.
Signed from Wrexham, the Northern Ireland Under-20 international has impressed in training as he waits for his first start in green and white.
The visitors must end a depressing away sequence against the Saints if they are to produce a shock win - their last success in this fixture was 11 years ago.
But they have held TNS to successive away draws at Latham Park in the past 12 months and are an improved outfit under manager and former Saints' frontman Darren Ryan.
Ryan is hoping to sign midfielder Gareth Wilson on loan from Rhyl, but has lost Stuart Vernon to Denbigh Town while defenders Danny Jellicoe and Adam Worton are suspended and will miss the game.
Coach Andy Cale has the luxury of selection from a virtually full-strength squad, with Scott Ruscoe set for his 300th Welsh Premier appearance if he can shrug-off a knock picked-up in the victory over NEWI Cefn Druids.
