Early Connah's Quay change must be a new final record!
In what must have been the earliest substitution ever made in the competition, Nomads made a change when the ball left the field of play straight after kick-off.
An error with the teamsheet meant that goalkeeper Jon Rushton was included in the starting line-up as an outfield player.
Former Saints' player Chris Marriott (pictured above) came off the bench after 10 seconds and commentating for S4C's Sgorio, former Welsh international Owain Tudur Jones said the FAW could have stepped in to resolve the matter.
The 2-1 defeat was Quay skipper John Disney's final playing appearance for the side and after the match, he said: 'This was our chance to try and put it right into Europe and I think we've played really well today.
'I think we limited TNS to less chances than they had last year and we won the game. But football's about taking your chances.'
A close range finish by Declan Poole handed Connah's Quay an early lead, but Rory Holden's superb free kick and Jordan Williams' header ensured Craig Harrison's side completed a memorable season with a domestic treble.
