Connah's Quay Nomads and Bala through to Nathaniel MG Cup final

Callum Bratley joined Connah's Quay Nomads from Flint Town United in July 2022

Holders Connah's Quay Nomads booked their place in the Nathaniel MG Cup final with victory over Cymru South side Taffs Well.

A Callum Bratley goal and Michael Wilde's late strike extended Nomads' unbeaten record to 13 games.

Nomads will face Bala Town, who overcame last season's finalists Cardiff Met 2-0 at Maes Tegid.

Bala captain Chris Venables put his side ahead in the first half with Dave Edwards sealing the win late on.

Venables netted on 18 minutes following a goalmouth scramble after Cardiff Met had failed to clear George Newell's cross.

Former Wales international Edwards made sure of the win with three minutes remaining with a half volley from the edge of the area.

Bala are through to the final for the third time having lost to Carmarthen in 2014 and against the New Saints a year later.

At Connah's Quay, Ben Nash and Ryan Stratulis had chances within the opening 10 minutes for the hosts.

David Lyon hit the post for the visitors in a first half which ended goalless.

Bratley broke the deadlock for Nomads nine minutes into the second half with a composed finish.

Joe Malkin and Stratulis went close for Neil Gibson's side while Taffs Well were reduced to 10 men with five minutes remaining when Lyon was shown a red card for a tackle on Harry Franklin.

Nomads sealed the win with a minute remaining when Wilde turned in Callum Morris' cross for his side's second.
