The New Saints are toasting a double success
The New Saints crowned a triumphant season by landing a double success at the Welsh Premier awards night at The Towers Hotel in Swansea.
Head coach Carl Darlington picked up the manager of the season award for third consecutive year following the club's league and Welsh Cup winning season, a record equalled only by Gary Barnett, of Barry Town and Ken McKenna, the ex-boss of TNS.
Darlington beat off the challenge from Andy Preece, manager of runners-up Airbus UK, and Carmarthen's Mark Aizlewood and Neville Powell, of Bangor City.
And the young player of the season went to TNS midfielder Sam Finley, who had also been nominated for the player of the season accolade.
In winning the young player of the season accolade, Finley saw off Christian Doidge (Carmarthen Town), Kieran Smith (Bala Town) and Declan Walker (Bangor City).
Midfielder Chris Venables of Aberystwyth Town was named as the Welsh Premier player of the season.
