The Saints drew 1-1 with visitors Welshpool Town FC.

Striker Matty Tong put ‘The Saints’ 1-0 up in the 17th minute after sprinting through and shooting  into the bottom right corner past the diving Welshpool keeper.

Veteran striker Kevin Jones came out of retirement to play in goal due to both the clubs keepers being on holiday. Jones saved a penalty in the 71st minute tipping the ball over the bar at full stretch.

The visitors equalised late in the game with minutes left on the clock whenn Dan Bowen finally got a shot past Jones.

The Gaffer had this to say –

It was a superb team effort with so many players unavailable and one not turning up on the day. The back four, Preecy and Joey were rock solid and threw there bodies on the line. Also a great penalty save by Joey. Midfielders and strikers put in a big shift closing down and creating own opportunities. All eleven were superb but mom goes to Liam McAnally who was outstanding throughout.

Also well done to the gaffer who had to start himself due to being so short of players.
