Player Thoughts
Centre Delwyn Jones "We need to replicate those away performances at home, and start to pick up wins at Stadiwm Eirias.
Ebbw Vale will come with that strong set piece, so for us, discipline will be key.
Last week, we were clinical when we created chances, and that showed in the result.
We have a couple of weeks without a game after Saturday, so the aim is to end this block with a win."
