Nomads start Welsh Cup final with 10 players
Connah's Quay Nomads kicked off the JD Welsh Cup final against The New Saints with only 10 men after making an error naming the team.The cup holders had mistakenly named the injured Kai Edwards in their starting line-up and wanted to replace him with Chris Marriott.But Marriott had not been initially included among the substitutes and Saints objected to him being named in Nomads' starting side.Nomads instead had to name substitute goalkeeper Jon Rushton in the starting line-up with Marriott added to the bench.Rushton did not take his place on the pitch at Newport's Rodney Parade and remained on the bench with Nomads opting to start with only 10 players.When the ball went out of play inside the opening minute Nomads made the substitution which saw Marriott, a former New Saints captain, enter the field.

Flint bolster their ranks with the acquisition of Faux
Faux, who has also played locally for Cefn Druids and Connah's Quay Nomads, is team boss Lee Fowler's third signing of the summer and he spent last season at Caernarfon Town. The 28-year-old tricky wide player started out with Bolton Wanderers U23s and he first entered the Welsh system in the summer of 2019. Fowler told the club's website: 'Joe is a player I've chased for a couple of years, same as Jack Thorn really. 'He has been hampered with injury in the last couple of seasons and then finding others doing well in his role, so he has had a bit of a stop-start time of it, and has stagnated a bit. 'So, hopefully, this is a fresh start for him. When he's come up against us in the past, he has always been bright and lively, and given us problems. 'I'm not sure if it's because he has done really well or that our full backs have been awful, we'll soon find out!! 'Seriously, he will add quality on the pitch and also off it with his personality, and I'm sure he will be a real popular figure in and around the club.' Mold Alex opened their series of pre-season friendlies with a 1-0 triumph versus Prestatyn Town. A first half strike from Aidan Farren sealed the win for Barry Owen's side, who are back in action this evening at home to St Asaph City. In further friendly action this evening, FC Queens Park play host to Rhos Aelwyd, while Rhostyllen make the trip to Prestatyn Town. Llangollen Town are on tour to the Republic of Ireland as they begin their pre-season programme tomorrow. They are off to Bray to take on Boghall Rovers. Holywell Town will open their preparations for the new Cymru North season when they welcome Llangefni Town tomorrow. Tomorrow's other friendlies: Caersws v Penycae; Connah's Quay Tn v Broughton Utd; Rhuddlan Tn v Greenfield.
