AL RAYYAN coach Brian Rowsom does not want his team to rest on the laurels of the League title. Instead, he wants the team to focus on the other two prestigious titles — the Heir Apparent’s and Emir’s Cup.

“We may take a break for a day or two. But I don’t want my team to become complacent and lose focus. We should be aiming to win the Heir Apparent’s and Emir’s Cup competitions as well. Then only will our success story be complete,” said Rowsom.

Rayyan just had a one-point lead after the first two quarters. After that, they restricted the rivals’ progress by tightening the defence.

Rowsom believes that was the key to his team’s success.

“Our defence was the key to the victory. They (Sadd) were stranded at 49 points for a long time. During that period, we took the crucial lead and then never looked back,” added Rowsom.

The American coach was all praise for Lesllie Chauncey, who scored a match-high 28 points.

“When you look at the scoreboard, you can make out as to how much he dominated. It was a total team work,” he said.
