Two clean sheets on the bounce, that’s the main thing and that’s the message that’s going to go back into the players.” He also highlighted the benefit of the TV broadcast, noting that the move for the cameras added an extra edge to the game.
Disney praised the opposition, describing Ammanford as a “really good, strong side” and complimenting their fighting spirit. He added, “They’re a really good, strong side and Wyn (Thomas) has got them playing exactly how you would expect Wyn’s sides to play and they fight for every ball and they battle for every ball, and they’re really honest and they’re a good side.”
The Nomads’ defensive performance was a key factor. With two clean sheets on the bounce, Disney said the team’s message was clear: “There’s loads of opportunities where if we make that right decision in the final third, we make the afternoon a little bit easier for ourselves.”
