The tweet of the winning goal shows quite the celebration.

I used to enjoy the 'old' Welsh Cup and the European nights that came as a result of a win.
Then they hoofed out the English clubs followed by the Welsh ones who dared not to sign up to the FAW system.
Without wishing to take anything away from Bala they now appear to play the final at a University playing field. A bit of a comedown from the National Stadium.
Surely entering us, Swansea, Newport, Merthyr and Wrexham (well, us and Swansea at least) would only be good for the competition? Even if they added a rule like "The entire starting XI must be Welsh" it would add a bit more prestige, money and better competition
Besides, if us or Swansea were to win it, we'd be more likely to at least reach the group stages in Europe and then increase the coefficient of Welsh clubs
About five years ago, the FAW were toying with badgering UEFA into letting the Welsh exiles back into the Welsh Cup with qualification for Europe as well. I don't know how far they got, but it looks like one consequence would have been that the exiles couldn't compete in the FA cup or League cup at all.
Would we prefer to be in the Welsh Cup than the FA Cup?
Total and utter bollux! Toshack, proud Canton boy and former Grange End hero, is one of the best strikers we've ever had at this club! Toshack could score against top European clubs as well as the best in the old Second Division. Why do you think Shankly, who knew a great player when he came across one, signed him??
Thinking about entry to the Welsh cup, are we still under the jurisdiction of the FAW or are we now under the FA?
