Naim's treble ensures youth cup progress

Naim Arsan

A NAIM Arsan hat-trick ensured that The New Saints progressed to the third round of the FAW Youth Cup.

The young Saints won 5-2 against highly-fancied Gap Connah's Quay at their own Deeside Stadium, hitting back in the second-half after surrendering a two-goal lead before the break.
Arsan opened the TNS account after 13 minutes and defender Sean Ellis added another on the half-hour, but the Nomads responded with goals from Jack Higgott and Shaun Tinsley.
Two more goals from Arsan within the space of six minutes put the Saints in control and Dale Lloyd added the icing on the cake with the fifth in the closing moments.
