CONNAH’S QUAY NOMADS will be overwhelming favourites to make it through to the last-16 of the Welsh Cup, but John Disney won’t be taking anything for granted ahead of a home clash this evening.

The Cymru Premier League high-flyers are all set to welcome North Wales Coast League Mochdre Sports this evening and boss Disney is keen to maintain the positive mood around the camp.

Nomads haven’t suffered defeat since mid-September and they are currently on a nine-match unbeaten run in all competitions.

Disney said: “We’re on a really good run and, you know, we’re eight, nine games unbeaten now and we’ve got a cup game (this) week.

“We want to go as far as we can possibly in the cup. So, we want to keep the momentum going.”

Nomads head into the tie on the back of their 2-0 derby triumph against Flint Town United last time out.

Callum West (pictured) and Harry Franklin shared the goals for Quay and Disney added: “We’ll have to utilise the squad, because... we were down to the bare bones (against Flint) and we’ve had to utilise that squad, and the lads who came on the pitch did really well.

“So, yeah, delighted with them. Delighted with the whole squad so far this season.

“So, we really are defensively solid and, yeah, we’re doing well and going well. So, just long may it continue.”

Mochdre Sports are in the bottom-two of the North Wales Coast League, but they’ve only played four times so far.

Top flight sides Llandudno and Colwyn Bay host Felinheli and Aberystwyth Town respectively tomorrow while Dolgellau, who are having a decent season in the Ardal North East League, visit Cardiff Met.

Welsh Cup winners Huw Griffiths and Steve Evans will be aiming to inspire their Bangor City side to glory at Cambrian United on Sunday.
