CEFN DRUIDS will bring the curtain down an a disappointing campaign with captain Michael Jones admitting the players have "massively under-achieved".

Despite kicking off the second phase with a 2-1 victory over tomorrow's opponents Haverfordwest County, Druids have suffered eight successive Play-Off Conference defeats and will definitely finish bottom of the Cymru Premier.

The only consolation is the fact that there is no relegation from the Welsh top-flight this term, and goalkeeper Jones says the standards have been nowhere near good enough from Druids who parted company with head coach Bruno Lopez in March leaving Head of Coaching, Jayson Starkey, in temporary charge.

"It has been massively disappointing," said Jones, who will still be at The Rock next season after agreeing a new deal.

"As a club, we sat down at the start of the year for a team meeting with the new manager and the chairman, and the vision that he had.

"We set out the style that we wanted to play, what we wanted to do and what direction the club wanted to go in.

"We set a few targets in-house that we wanted to try and achieve and we felt as a squad, we were capable of achieving that.

"As you can see, we have fallen far short of those targets so it has not been the best of seasons for us.

"But lucky for ourselves, there is no relegation this year."

Although Druids will retain their Cymru Premier status for 2021-22, former Wrexham stopper Jones still finds finishing at the foot of the table tough to stomach.

"It is far from great being the team that finishes bottom of the league, even if the consolation is there is no relegation," said Jones.

"The players in the squad and myself as captain, we are not comfortable being where we are.

"We pin the blame on ourselves as a squad, we have massively under-achieved throughout the season.

"We have not been good enough, we have not performed on the pitch and as you can see with the results of late, we have been really poor."

Youngsters were given a chance to impress in Saturday's 6-0 defeat at Cardiff Met.

But Jones, one of the senior players who was rested, says they gave a good account of themselves.

"There were a lot of youngsters with little or no Welsh Premier experience," added Jones.

"The club took the opportunity to look at them and see if they will come into the squad next year or whether they are loaned out.

"The youngsters who played did not disgrace themselves, they played very well."
