Briton Ferry Llansawel 3 TNS 1

TNS suffered the biggest JD Cymru Premier upset in years with a dismal defeat at Briton Ferry Llansawel on Wednesday night.

Head coach Craig Harrison pulled no punches in his full-time analysis, describing the first-half display as "disgusting".

The home side raced into a 3-0 lead with just 38 minutes on the clock and despite Aramide Oteh pulling a goal back just before the break, Harrison’s side were unable to get anything out of the game.

Rory Holden tested home goalkeeper Will Fuller inside the opening six minutes but the Saints were stunned to trail two minutes later with Danny Davies dispossessed by Ryan George down the left who crossed for Jasper Payne to net.
