Caernarfon happy to be underdogs for play-off final

Richard Davies succeeded Huw Griffiths as Caernarfon manager in 2023

Caernarfon Town manager Richard Davies accepts his side will be the underdogs when they face Haverfordwest County in Sunday's Cymru Premier play off-final.

The Canaries will be seeking to qualify for the Europa Conference League for a second successive season

They made their European debut last summer after defeating Penybont at home in the play-off final but will be away to Haverfordwest this year.

"They finished highest in the league – they were third and we were fourth – that home advantage might be quite big for them," Davies told BBC Sport Wales.

"But I think being underdogs suits us as well."

Caernarfon overcame Crusaders of Northern Ireland in the Europa Conference League first qualifying round.

They exited the competition at the second qualifying round stage after an 11-0 aggregate defeat by Polish giants Legia Warsaw.

Legia went on to reach the quarter-finals before losing 4-2 on aggregate to Chelsea.

"The experiences we had last year not just qualifying but going through that first qualifier and going to Legia Warsaw was unbelievable," Davies added.

"We'd love to be able to have that experience again.

"It's huge for every club that manages to do it."
