Llansantffraid-ym-Mechain

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Llansanffraid-ym-Mechain is a village in Powys, north central Wales about 8 miles to the north of Welshpool.

Llansanffraid means "Church of St Bridget" in English and ym-Mechain refers to its location in the medieval cantref of Mechain.

The football team, previously known as Total Network Solutions F.C., won the League of Wales in the 2004-05 season, the first title since changing the name from Llansanffraid FC. Following the takeover of its sponsors, the team was renamed The New Saints F.C. for the 2006-07 season.

The New Saints no longer play their football matches in Llansantffraid. A new village team has been formed with local players and they have had great success in their 1st season playing in the local league.
