MANAGER Brian Coyne remains upbeat as Aberystwyth Town look to shrug off their first loss of the season in tonight’s Loosemores Cup clash at Haverfordwest County.

Having already notched a draw with Carmarthen in their opening group game, the Black and Greens will be out for further reward in their bid to progress to the knockout stages.

And they’ll be keen to bounce back after last weekend’s 3-2 home loss against Welshpool, their first reverse of the season.

“We were disappointed with the goals we conceded, but I was delighted with the performance over the 90 minutes,” said Coyne afterwards.

“We played some really good football and if we play like every week, then we won’t be far away.”
