The New Saints boss urges his side to keep setting high standards

Craig Harrison wants The New Saints to keep setting high standards and continue their winning run as they prepare to host Flint Town United tonight (7.45pm).

Saints have won their last seven league games and are a point above Barry Town United at the top of the Cymru Premier table.

Flint, tonight's visitors to Park Hall, are currently 13th, picking up just two points from their opening eight games this season.

"We want to win as many games as we can," said TNS head coach Harrison. "Anybody that knows me, my first spell at the club we won 27 games in a row and broke the record, so from my point of view that's not changed.

"That desire to win football games has not dampened whatsoever, so it's high standards, high demands."

Defender Jack Bodenham was pleased to help Saints extend their winning run with a 2-0 victory at Airbus UK Broughton on Friday night.

"I thought it was quite a tough game actually," said Bodenham. "I thought Airbus were decent, played some good football, loads of energy and I think they'll do pretty well this season.

"But from our point of view, good to get another win, we keep the run going and another clean sheet as well is always nice."

Bodenham deputised for Danny Redmond as TNS captain at Airbus, which he describes as "an honour".

He added: "Obviously it's an honour to captain the club, just stepping in for Reddo for the time being, and really enjoying leading the team out. It is an honour."
