Penybont held The New Saints to a goalless draw in their Cymru Premier opener at the DragonBet Stadium. The match was a closely contested affair, with both teams creating chances but ultimately settling for a point. Ethan Vaughan blazed over a speculative effort from distance, while Danny Higgs denied Leo Smith after the TNS midfielder seized on a misplaced pass. Higgs was called upon again midway into the first half, this time to deny Danny Davies, who spurned another chance from Rhys Hughes' cutback. Hughes later took aim with a free-kick in the final 10 minutes, but Higgs was once again equal to his effort. Two audacious shots from Hughes and Jordan Williams both ballooned over the crossbar, as TNS had to settle for a point in their league opener. Craig Harrison made just one change from their heartbreaking shoot-out exit against Tallinna FC Flora in the Europa League second qualifying round on Thursday. Dominic Corness replaced Dan Williams, while Dynel Simeu and Hughes started on their league debuts. Next, TNS host Haverfordwest County in their first home match of the league season. League standing: 9th in Cymru Premier, 1 pt, 0W-1D-0L from 1 games, recent form D.
