Wilson is back for Seasiders tonight.

Byline: DAVE JONES 

PRESTATYN Town welcome back midfielder Gareth Wilson from suspension for tonight's home clash with Gap Connah's Quay (7.30pm), but striker Ian Griffiths is banned.

Griffiths picked up a red card for violent conduct in last Saturday's draw at Port Talbot and is out for three matches.

Town should otherwise be close to full strength, with midfielders Steve Hoult and Alec Williams expected to be fit despite being taken off in Tuesday night's 2-0 North Wales Challenge Cup defeat at Colwyn Bay.

"We took them off more as a precaution, but we're hopeful both should be okay," said Seasiders player-manager Neil Gibson.

Just a point tonight will put Prestatyn second outright, but Gibson will look for maximum spoils against a Quay side that Town failed to beat in four attempts last term.

"Connah's Quay are always hard to beat, I watched them frustrate Rhyl for long periods earlier in the season. We're expecting a difficult game," added Gibson.

Meanwhile, Quay player-manager Mark McGregor welcomes back two key players tonight, writes Mike McEvoy.

Striker Andy Olsen, who missed last week's goalless draw against Technogroup Welshpool due to illness, has reported fully fit so is added to the squad along with midfielder Stuart Cook, back from his involvement in an England 5-a-side event.

Also listed in the Quay squad is Stuart Scheuber who is still recovering from a long-term injury.

"Stuart came on as substitute for the last 10 minutes against Welshpool and although he's still not quite back to absolute peak fitness, he's almost there," explained the Deesiders' boss.

McGregor has a high regard for Prestatyn's achievements this season and knows this will be a testing trip down the coast road.

"They have had a great start," he added. "Not only are they playing consistently well but scoring goals with it so we will need to be on our toes if we are to come away with anything."
