Big shocks in the JD Welsh Cup tonight!
The New Saints and Connah’s Quay Nomads, winners of the trophy between them for the past six seasons are OUT.
Saints lost 2-1 at Cardiff Met, who also beat the full-timers 3-2 away in the league a fortnight ago, while Tier 2 Cymru North leaders Llandudno eliminated Nomads, fourth in the Cymru Premier, by the same 2-1 scoreline.
The last team apart from Saints and Quay to win the Welsh Cup were Bala Town in 2016-17.
Bala are also out of the competition. Before that you have to go back to Prestatyn Town’s amazing 2012-13 triumph to find a winner apart from TNS, Nomads and Bala.
Such happenings can only be great for the Welsh Cup – it is good to see the prizes spread around and now we can look forward to the exciting prospect of who will lift the famous trophy at the end of the campaign.
