Airbus UK Broughton 0 TNS 8
TNS ran riot at the Hollingsworth Stadium with Ryan Brobbel netting a New Year's Eve hat-trick to ensure the Saints ended 2022 on a high.
In truth the hosts were never in the game and the Oswestrians hardly had to leave first gear to improve on their 7-0 win in the reverse fixture the previous week.
The Wingmakers will now focus on plotting an unlikely survival bid in 2023 having endured a festive season of nightmares with 15 goals conceded against the leaders in just two games.
The Saints' opener set the tone with Billy Kirkman's delightful pass on the left touchline releasing Danny Redmond whose low cross was steered home by Brobbel inside the opening three minutes.
Another work of art from Redmond released Brobbel for his second after 16 minutes with a glorious midfield ball taken down by the Northern Irishman before firing past goalkeeper Lewis Dutton.
Dutton was picking the ball out of the back of net again two minutes later with Danny Davies adding his side's third and effectively seal the points within the opening 20 minutes.
However the Saints continued to press and tear apart the hosts with a wonderful display of passing football.
Brobbel completed his hat-trick after 34 minutes, tapping into an empty net after Dutton spilled Redmond's deep cross from midfield with Ashley Baker heading onto the bar for Brobbel to slot home.
Baker succeeded in finding the net six minutes later before the Wingmakers were reduced to 10 men with George Peers earning a second caution.
TNS added furth salt to the wound before the break with Ben Clark sweeping home from close range after Brobbel headed down Kirkman's left wing cross.
Redmond grabbed a deserved goal early in the second-half and also crossed for Jake Kirkman to net the Saints' final goal on 67 minutes.
Somewhat surprisingly the Saints did not add to their tally for the remainder of the match but departed Deeside emphatic victors and extended their lead at the top of the table to six points.
