Newtown boss Bernard McNally bemoaned his "worst day in football" – after seeing the Robins thrashed 9-2 at Llanelli.

The result sent the Latham Park men spiralling to the foot of the Welsh Premier table.

And it left former AFC Telford United chief McNally – who also enjoyed a successful playing career with Shrewsbury, West Brom and Northern Ireland – puzzled by what he had seen.

"It was the worst day in footballing terms for me personally as a coach or manager," he said.

"We completely lost our way and it was a real wake-up call for the players," he added.
