Tomi has Selection Woes for Welsh Cup

The Ins and Outs with Porthmadog in the January transfer window has left Manager with a problem ahead of Saturday's Welsh Cup 4th round tie at Prestatyn.

Recent signings from Aberystwyth Town Andy Evans and Robert Evans as well as ex-Llangefni Town player Marcus Orlik are all cup-tied and unavailable. Three players have also departed in the window, which leaves Morgan in an unfortunate problem of choosing from a bare bones squad.

The club website continues to state that these problems have been exacerbated by the injuries suffered at Neath. Defender Euron Roberts left the field suffering from concussion and his replacement Huw Owens' debut lasted only 12 minutes before he was also forced to leave the field with damaged knee ligaments. This necessitated the introduction of youth keeper Meilir Ellis as an outfield player.

The site adds that his heroic, intelligent 40 minute performance underlined the importance of character to player performance. His part in the proceedings served as a reminder to others - if you want to be given the opportunity, then you better be there when it arises.

That was not the end of the misfortune with defenders John Keegan and Mike Foster both suffering injuries but they battled on as there were no more substitutes available. Left-back Marc Gornall has also missed the last two games through injury, but on the positive side this situation opens doors for others to show what they can do.

The two clubs last met in the Welsh Cup back in 2006 and Port ran out winners by 4-2, when Prestatyn were still in the Cymru Alliance.
