TNS cruise to Champions League first leg victory
Brad Young netted a first half double as The New Saints picked up a 3-0 victory over Montenegrin First League champions FK Dečić at Park Hall.
Craig Harrison's Saints have their sights on the group stages of one of the European competitions this season - and they took a big stride towards that with a thumping first leg victory.
At a rainy Park Hall ground, it took former Villa striker Young just four minutes to head the Cymru Premier champions in front.
Young then netted a second with his head just before the hour mark.
Then seven minutes before the break and the Saints were cruising as Danny Davies poked home from a corner.
Connor Roberts had to deny the visitors a response before the break - with the Saints going closest in the second period as Ryan Brobbel's effort was kept out by the visiting keeper.
The Saints now take a comfortable three goal lead into the second leg in Montenegro next Tuesday.
