The New Saints sealed a record-extending 16th Cymru Premier League title with a 4-0 win over Cardiff Met at Park Hall on Saturday. Saints are 20 points clear at the top of the standings and cannot be caught with only six league games remaining. They are on a 39-match unbeaten run, winning 24 matches in a row.

"While today is a day for celebration, the season still has a long way to go, and with two trophies left to be won, we won't be resting on our laurels," coach Craig Harrison said. "We want to finish the season with our unbeaten record intact, and also become the first Welsh team to win the quadruple," the manager added, having taken his side just four games away from breaking their own record for consecutive competitive wins.

Saints, who have already won the Welsh League Cup this season are in the semi-finals of the Welsh Cup. They also look to become the first Welsh side to win the Scottish Challenge Cup as they face Airdrieonians in the final, which would take them closer to an unprecedented quadruple title.
