Connah's Quay Nomads 0 TNS 0
TNS were crowned champions of Wales for a 15th time with a point at Connah's Quay Nomads on Friday night.

The Oswestrians dominated the match from the first whistle but found home goalkeeper Andy Firth in formidable form.

Yet a point was enough for the Saints to seal the first part of a potential double and maintain their total and utter dominance of Welsh football for another season.

Forth showed strong hands to push Ryan Brobbel's fiercely struck 18 yard shot from the left hand side of the edge of the area over the woodwork after 14 minutes.

Dan Williams fired wide before Leo Smith lashed into the side netting as Saints continued to press their claim.

OTHER NEWS:

TNS dominated possession for the remainder of the half and saw strong penalty appeals rejected when Declan McManus' 37th minute effort appeared to strike George Horan' arm in the area only for referee Huw Jones to ignore appeals.

It was a similar story after the break with Forth forced to tip McManus' effort over the bar inside the opening few minutes.

Moments later Forth was in action again to deny former Nomad Danny Davies.

The Nomads endured the storm and began to enjoy some possession of their own with Paulo Mendes' scrambled effort blocked in a crowded area.

Forth remained the main obstacle and another fine strike from Brobbel forced the home No1 into action with 20 minutes remaining.

Chances became increasingly scarce with Jon Routledge scything wide from the edge of the area while McManus' 40 yard lob was comfortably gathered by Forth as the minutes ticked down.

Nomads came close to snatching a breakthrough with six minutes remaining with Roberts tipping over a close range effort from Horan as the Deesiders threatend to ruin the title party.

However the Saints were not to be denied as the first part of another domestic double was secured.
