Football: premier NEWS - Trio look to benefit.

Byline: CHRISTOPHER BEESLEY

PORTHMADOG, Haverfordwest and Newtown could be among the sides to benefit from a back door entry into European competition.

The current Fair Play table for the Welsh Premier was revealed this week.

Whoever picks up the fewest yellow and red cards can enter an end-of-season draw for a European place if their national association is high enough in the Uefa Fair Play League.

Title frontrunners TNS are also top of the Fair Play league, but if they finish first their place could pass to the next most disciplined team.

The Saints have 56 penalty points, followed by Porthmadog (60), Haverfordwest (70) and Newtown (84).

As a national association, Wales has only finished high enough once for one of its clubs to enter the draw. On that occasion potential benefactors Druids were not picked out.

TWO Welsh Premier games have been earmarked for live TV coverage on S4C.

Bangor's trip to Carmarthen Town has been put back 24 hours to Sunday February 19, with a 3pm kick-off.

The top-of-the-table clash between TNS and Rhyl on Sunday March 26 will also be shown live on S4C (kick-off TBC).
