Connah's Quay Nomads faced an unexpected situation at the start of the JD Welsh Cup final against The New Saints. They made a mistake in naming the team, which led to having only 10 men on the field initially. The injured Kai Edwards was wrongly included in the starting line-up, and they wanted to replace him with Chris Marriott. However, Marriott wasn't initially among the substitutes, and The New Saints objected to his inclusion in the starting side. As a result, substitute goalkeeper Jon Rushton was named in the starting line-up, and Marriott was added to the bench. Rushton remained on the bench, and the Nomads opted to start with 10 players. In the opening minute, when the ball went out of play, they made the substitution, and Marriott, a former New Saints captain, entered the field.
