Saints 0 Brecon Corries 7.
The Saints lost heavily to the very impressive Corries outfit. The game started out with Brecon very much on top pinning the hosts into there own half. After 20 minutes of resolute defending and some fine goalkeeping, the deadlock was finally broke with the corries winger firing in from just inside the box. More Corries pressure saw them double there lead with a fine goal built on a couple of sharp one twos with an excellent finish. Credit to Hay they battled away for the rest of the half creating a couple of openings which just got away. HT 0-2.
The second half started in the same vain as the first with Corries well on top. After 10 mins it was 3, a fine cross into their big front man who rose highest to header in the roof of the net. Tired legs were now beginning to show with the corries not happy to sit back, scored another 4 unanswered goals in a ruthless performance. FT 0-7.
Today was a tough game but one we can learn a lot from. We won’t come across many teams as strong or well drilled as Brecon, it shows what level we need to aiming at. Big thanks to Corries for cleaning out their changing room, one less job to do!!!

The reserves continued their good start after a 1-3 win at Newcastle Upon Clun FC.
Once again it was Darren Horrigan who stole the headlines after his second hat-trick of the season.
The Saints first team fell to a heavy defeat at Carno FC 7-1.
Anyone watching would not have predicted that result after an hour in which we had dominated possession of the ball and chances. We should of been 0-2 up in the opening five minutes, two close range chances were put over the crossbar. Carno were awarded a free kick on a rare attack and while we were sorting our wall out they took a quick free kick which saw them roll the ball into an empty net.
That lead was doubled five minutes later when the same player Andy Evans put jumped our keeper and headed the hosts into a 0-2 lead.
On 41 minutes Greg Preece put strike partner Matty Tong in down the left, Tong ran into the area and fired a shot into the top right corner. 1-2.
Ht 1-2
We started bright in the second half and had a couple of decent chances but Chris Brown saved well.
The turning point of the game was on the hour mark, Richie Evans scored a 25 yard free kick giving keeper Tom Bevan no chance. 1-3
After that we were chasing the game and with the bare 11 and players playing out of position we tired and Carno took advantage scoring 4 more goals, Andy Evans their chief tormentor.
