Connah’s Quay Nomads produced an upset to win the Welsh Cup for the second time in their history and deny The New Saints a fourth domestic treble.

Goals from Harry Franklin and Josh Williams either side of Ashley Baker’s equaliser saw Nomads secure a 2-1 victory and win the Cup for the first time since 2018.

Cup holders The New Saints were aiming to complete a domestic treble having won the JD Cymru Premier and Nathaniel MG Cup earlier this season.

Saints, bidding for a fourth consecutive Cup win, had won all six previous encounters between the sides this season and were unbeaten in domestic Welsh competitions ahead of the final.
