The New Saints got their European preparations underway in earnest with a comfortable 4-0 success over Anglesey side Ynys Mon in their opening friendly at Park Hall, writes JOHN BRIDGWATER.
Using the game as a chance to ring the changes, all the goals came in the first half with Charlie Proctor and Alex Darlington both scoring twice yesterday.
Proctor opened the scoring in the 15th minute when he rounded-off a fine move after Barry Hogan had found Craig Jones on the right with a superb pass.
Two minutes later, Darlington netted from close range at the far post after some confusion in the visitors’ defence, and then he crashed home a drive from the edge of the box just before the half-hour.
Darlington then opened up Ynys Mon again with a defence splitting pass that enabled Aeron Edwards to beat the offside trap and cross for Proctor to grab his second of the afternoon.
Despite further chances, a revamped Saints failed to improve the scoreline after the break,while the Islanders were unable to test Alex Ramsey in the home goal throughout the whole 90 minutes.
