We need a Super start is the TNS call

The New Saints return to their home comforts as they bid get their Welsh Premier League title pursuit back on track against tomorrow's visitors Port Talbot.

After being held 2-2 at Newtown, the defending champions now find themselves six points off the pace as they embark on the second half of the season.

The Super 12 has now split into two with the top six playing each other twice, and TNS boss Mike Davies admits it's vital that his team return to winning ways at Park Hall tomorrow to keep tabs on leaders Bangor City.

"Last weekend's draw was a setback, but it's not the end of the world," he said.

"We did not do quite enough to get the three points in the end, but we can take positives from our second half performance."

After dropping two points, the Saints know they will have to hit the ground running tomorrow against a Port Talbot side they hammered by six goals earlier in the season.

Their record is impressive at home this campaign, winning 10 league games while the only points dropped came in the 2-2 draw against title rivals Bangor City last month.

So they will be looking for more of the same, with midfielder Richie Partridge and defender Phil Baker back to boost the cause.

Aeron Edwards is the main worry after picking up a knock when netting the equaliser at Newtown.

The game will be screened live on S4C, kick off 3.15pm.

Meanwhile, Newtown midfielder Richie Harris has been forced to hang up his boots at the age of 27 after picking up a serious knee ligament injury last season.
