THE New Saints' boss Mike Davies was delighted with the midweek win at Llanelli but is wary of a testing trip to Port Talbot on Saturday. The 2-0 success at Stebonheath Park completed an amazing recovery for TNS, eroding a one-time 16 point deficit to overtake Bangor City at the top of the Welsh Premier table on goal difference.
"We got our noses in front and defended well so I felt it was a deserved win against a good Llanelli side," said Davies, who insists the three points will count for nothing should his side let the title slip through their grasp this season.
"We have five games remaining and nothing has been won yet.
"We are still in the Welsh Cup and Loosemores League Cup so we have a lot of football to play yet this season."
The Saints head down south once again on Saturday to face the Steelmen and will be seeking a repeat of their victory at the GenQuip Stadium earlier in the campaign.
"We have had a few defeats down at Port Talbot and it is certainly not the easiest place to go and play so it will be another tough challenge.
"However the lads have been superb in getting themselves back into title contention and we will look to maintain our run on Saturday," Davies added.
