Bala Town   0 

The New Saints completed a hat-trick of Welsh Premier League wins over Bala Town to move 15 points clear at the top of the table.

Saints claimed their third 3-0 win of the season over Bala, and can now wrap up their seventh straight WPL league title next week.

Ryan Brobbel’s curling finish separated the two sides on the stroke of half time.

Despite acquitting themselves well, Bala Town found themselves chasing a two goal deficit when Dean Ebbe scored with his first touch, moments after replacing Greg Draper.

Bala continued to probe but were unable to breech the Saints’ defence.

Ebbe then slotted in his second on 87 minutes to wrap up the win.
