ANDREW Cueto turned the clock back and did the YM a big favour at UWIC on Saturday, the opening day of the MacWhirter Welsh League season, answering a SOS keeper call with Julian Phillips (working) and Marcus Ardle (injured) out of the reckoning.

YM chairman, Viv Edwards, said: "He pulled us right out of the mire by agreeing to play for us."

And Cueto has the bit between his teeth after such a good win (3-0) and will be facing Grange Quins at Mendalgief Road tomorrow night (kick-off 6.30pm).

It is a long time since Cueto, now 40, first played for YM. He said: "Lewis Sommers was in the team on Saturday but when I first played for the YM his father Brian was playing!

"I started playing with Pill when I was 14 and went to the YM before moving to Mangotsfield with Andrew Beattie and then to Caerleon with his brother Alex. I did the rounds of the Welsh League clubs and now I see the fathers I knew as players standing on the touchline.

"I will help out at the YM as much as I can, it is a nice set-up, or as much as my body will stand it. I certainly felt it after playing on Saturday."

YM manager Mark Coldrick is hoping that new signing Ryan Durham will make his home debut. Durham, who dashed from Swansea to Newport to get his registration completed in time to make his debut at UWIC, suffered a hamstring injury and played only half the game. Coldrick said: "He came off as a precaution and he is our only doubt."

Durham, partnered John Pardue in the centre of midfield and Coldrick added: "He is an excellent signing for us - just what we needed."

The YM manager expects a big challenge from the Quins. He said: "It will be tough because they have just come down from the Welsh Premier League"

YM will be looking for striker Sommers to dish out the same treatment to the Quins that he inflicted on UWIC, scoring a hat-trick. Coldrick added: "He is yet yet fully match fit and there is a lot more to come from him - but it is not just about Lewis."

Caerleon, who lost at home to Division Two champions Ponty-pridd on the opening day of the season, are at home again, entertaining promoted neighbours Croesyceiliog who are playing their first game in the top flight.

Division Three side Llanwern will have new signing Michael Binning in their squad for the game at Risca along with front man Steve Perszewski, who both missed the opening win at Goytre on Saturday. Binning was ruled out with a neck injury while Perszewski was unavailable.
