Narrow defeat for TNS in European qualifier

Saints will be hopeful of overturning deficit at home next week

The New Saints suffered defeat in the first leg of their Europa League qualifier – but still have an excellent chance of progressing in the competition.

A first-half goal from Flora Tallinn’s Remo Valdmets saw the Estonian side claim victory last night.

Valdmets fired home from inside the box just after the half-hour.
