Nomads left stunned as New Saints stage late comeback

It was an evenly-matched started to the game but it was the Saints who had the first opening with nine minutes on the clock with Ryan Brobbel testing goalkeeper George Ratcliffe.

Dan Williams volleyed wide before Ratcliffe denied Leo Smith from close range after 26 minutes.

Ratcliffe continued to keep the pride of Oswestry at bay with saves to deny Josh Daniels, Brobbel and Jordan Williams.

Ex-Newtown favourite Fumpa Mwandwe cut inside on the edge of the penalty area to fire wide at the other end at the start of the second-half and the Flint club led on 52 minutes with Mwandwe crossing for Jack Kenny to prod home from close range.

Brobbel's free-kick was turned onto the woodwork by Danny Davies on the hour and Dan Williams volleyed wide 10 minutes later.

Declan McManus, Ben Clark and Adam Wilson were thrown into the fray in a bid to salvage something from the game and with four minutes remaining McManus fired his side level from 18 yards.

A minute later Clark completed the comeback following a 40 yard run to leave their tenant hosts heartbroken while TNS returned to Oswestry within striking distance of leaders Penybont.
