TNS became just the third club in the Welsh domestic game to reach that landmark – and celebrated in style by beating Bala Town thanks to an 89th-minute winner from Ryan Astles.

They are now on the brink of a 15th league title win and will hope to have the trophy in their clutches on Friday night, which they can secure with a point at closest rivals Connah’s Quay Nomads.

Before the game, Saints’ Euan Harris and Ian Williams were presented with a plaque by Ken Hughes from FAW.
