Caernarfon Town have won the Welsh Cup for the first time in their history with a 3-0 win over Flint Town United in the final.

It took just 18 minutes for Richard Davies' Cofis to score all three goals at Newport's Rodney Parade in front of over 2,200 fans.

Victory means Caernarfon have also booked their place in the UEFA Conference League qualifiers for the second time in three years.

Caernarfon went ahead after just seven minutes with a clinical throughball from Sion Bradley to wrongfoot the Flint defence before slotting past keeper Jack Flint.

Matty Jones doubled the lead five minutes later with a stunning free kick which rattled the post before Adrian Cieselewicz made it three with a close-range header from Jones' corner kick.

Flint, who are facing possible relegation from the Cymru Premier, struggled to find a way back, although they did threaten with Michael Burke's effort bringing out a fine save from Cofis keeper Connor Roberts, while Darren Stephenson's header struck the post.

The Silkmen had a goal ruled offside after the break, but despite a revitalised second half performance from Lee Fowler's men, Caernarfon minimised any threat of a comeback.

Veteran striker Darren Thomas, aka the Cofi Messi, came off the subs bench for the final minutes to celebrate one of the biggest achievements in the club's 89-year history with the Cofi Army.

Caernarfon wrap up their Cymru Premier campaign with a home game against Penybont next Saturday evening at Llandudno's Maesdu Park (5.15 ko).
