The game itself was in the traditional 2.30 p.m. Saturday slot and it was a lovely day as I made my way to Chirk.
I have been there before, on my groundhopping travels, which if I had a crystal ball at the time I would have gone somewhere else.
Although Chirk play in the second tier of Welsh football, one of their club officials was telling me before the game that they were 50-1 to win.
Taking the lead in the second-half, for a while it looked like another David v Goliath was on the cards.
When TNS was awarded a penalty and Declan McManus struck the bar, it was still on for a giant killing.
