The New Saints boss Craig Harrison said his side did "everything but score a goal" in their 0-0 draw against Shkendija in the first leg of their Champions League sides had chances in what was an evenly matched contest at Park travel to North Macedonia for the second leg next week with the winners advancing to face FCSB of Romania or Andorra's Inter Club d'Escaldes in the second qualifying round."Overall, a little bit disappointed," Harrison told BBC Radio Shropshire after the game."Happy with a clean sheet but a little bit disappointed that we couldn't have scored a goal. "I don't think it was a vintage performance but I don't think we were poor on any stretch of the imagination."I thought we were decent, just that end product. We did everything but score a goal." Club record signing Ben Wilson had Saints' best opportunity in the second half at Park former Airdrie striker was through on goal but he was denied by keeper Baboucarr Gaye."We were a shade disappointed that we couldn't have gone in the lead," Harrison said."I think we deserved on chances alone - better chances - to take the lead."But it was a very close game, there was nothing in it from possession-wise and territory."Saints will have to wait to discover the extent of midfielder Leo Smith's knee was stretchered off the field after sustaining the injury during first half stoppage time."Seeing any player coming off the pitch on a stretcher is never a good sight to see," Harrison said."It's obviously a serious injury because Leo wouldn't just come off and then go out on a stretcher."He wouldn't just come off if he was OK. Let's hope he has a speedy recovery."The next 24-48 hours we'll get a true assessment of how he is and where we're at and then we'll go from there with Leo."

Man Sentenced After Operation Barber Cuts At West Coast Drug Supply
Police acknowledge the sentencing handed down in the Christchurch District Court this week in relation to the supply of drugs on the West Coast. Leo Smith, aged 22, was on Tuesday (29 April) sentenced to 10 months home detention. Operation Barber started in 2023 after Police received information relating to the supply of class B drugs across the wider region. Smith was identified as a person of interest, and Police conducted search warrants on 8 March 2024 at two addresses he was connected to. Police located and seized drugs, instruments, and cash, as well as his mobile devices. The operation has been hugely successful thanks to the dedication of the West Coast Tactical Crime Unit who were greatly assisted over the last 18 months by Christchurch Criminal Investigations Branch. As a result of our investigations, we have been able to uncover a number of associates working with Smith. Several other people were involved in the supply chain and supplying class A-C illicit drugs across the Greymouth and Canterbury regions. These offenders were unidentified previously, with little to no criminal history. They have now been convicted and more than $90,000 in cash has been forfeited across the wider operation. Police will continue to hold people to account who are supplying drugs and causing harm to our community. If you have concerns about illegal drug use in your community, please call 111 if there is an immediate public safety risk, or contact us via 105 online [1], or by phone, to make a report. You can also report information anonymously to Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.
