PRESTATYN Town make the trip to mid-table Airbus UK on Friday aiming to keep a fifth successive clean sheet.

The Seasiders were again rock solid defensively in last Saturday's 0-0 home draw with Carmarthen Town, although two dropped points meant Neil Gibson's side slipped two places to eighth in the Welsh Premier League.

Town are unbeaten in their three WPL meetings with Airbus, but with Craig Harrison's side fighting desperately to secure a top 10 finish, they will provide tough opposition at The Airfield.

On Saturday, Prestatyn's best opportunity came after seven minutes when a lovely succession of passes between Michael Parker, Neil Gibson and Andy Moran left Steve Rogers with just keeper Neil Thomas to beat, but the striker's poor shot was comfortably saved.

Early in the second period Steve Hoult's firm strike was well held by Carmarthen keeper Neil Thomas, then at the other end Hill-Dunt went down smartly to gather a shot from Richard Hughes.

Carmarthen should have scored when Paul Fowler's cross from the right eluded the home defence but Danny Thomas failed to hit the target with a diving header.

The hosts then raised their game, Parker and Ian Griffiths both hitting decent long range efforts which Thomas was equal to.

But Carmarthen, who were also denied a penalty for what looked a blatant handball, always looked the likelier scorers, Thomas' back post header kept out by Hill-Dunt who also foiled Tim Hicks late on.
