Penybont will not waste water lessons in Uefa Conference League qualifier

Griffiths added: “I thought some of their antics were really poor, but it’s up to them.

“The referee had a good game because they were diving and rolling around on the floor.

“It’s the dark arts of football everywhere, not just in Europe. I don’t like it, I hate it in fact.

“It’s about keeping cool and we didn’t have anyone disciplined for dissent, which is pleasing because they could have easily lost their heads. We have taken a lot of encouragement from the second half in particular.”

Penybont’s pressure did not lead to a leveller, with the Cymru Premier play-off winners seeing Ryan Hill miss a second-half penalty.

Former Newport County midfielder Wood added: “We’re fully prepared to go again. We’re only halfway and we’re going to give it a really good go.

“It’s the strongest squad I’ve been part of here, the club is heading in the right direction and we don’t just want to be part of a first round European tour, we want to go to Austria and play Rapid Vienna.

“The carrot is dangling, but we have to go and do the job in Andorra. We’ve had a hot pre-season which is good preparation – and we’ll bring our own water.”
