Their world record run of consecutive wins has ended - with a draw.
I wonder when was the last time the New Saints actually lost a match?
Having attained such standards, a draw would almost be shattering for them...
Wonder what the record is for the longest undefeated run by a pro club?
Next target for them?
BALA TOWN AND CARMARTHAN TOWN THE NEW SAINTS' TWO NEMESES:
New Saints lost the Welsh Cup Final 2-1 to Bala Town last weekend.
Greg Draper scored the opening goal on 55 mins but Bala replied with two:

"After 31 games without defeat in 2016/17 (won 30, drawn 1) The New Saints’ unbeaten run came to an end at the hands of Carmarthen on Saturday afternoon.
A week after beating gap Connah’s Quay (0-1), the Old Gold caused another upset as Liam Thomas headed in the only goal of the game late into the first half.
Before the defeat, Newtown were the only other club to take points from TNS this season when they scored a last minute equaliser to make it 3-3 back in January which brought the Saints’ world record breaking run of 27 consecutive wins to an end.
Airbus UK were the last team to beat TNS in the Welsh Premier League and that was back in April 2016 (3-2)."
They also lost two league games on 21/3 and 14/4 to finish the season with three defeats.
But they won the league by 27 points from their nearest rivals:
