Carmarthen Quins head coach Louie Tonkin feels his side are well
equipped to back up last season’s second place finish in the Principality
Premiership, WRITES CARL FIELD.
Quins finished second last season to secure a home play-off
but were defeated 31-20 by eventual losing finalists Cross Keys.
And, having successfully negotiated their British &
Irish Cup qualifier against Llandovery, they started the new Premiership season
with a 44-10 bonus-point home win over Newport at the weekend.
“We’re very confident that we can do better than we did last
year,” said Tonkin.
“Our objective last year was to finish in the top three and
we achieved that with a very young group.
“But we’re much stronger and mature this year just being a
year older and wiser – particularly the academy boys.
“We want to achieve some success – whether that’s in the
form of a cup or a play-off final – and we believe we’re strong enough to do
that.
“The key for us was to strengthen in some key areas and add
some depth to the squad, which maybe wasn’t there at times last year.
“We’ve managed to do that and I think we’ll be that much more efficient this year.”
