Match report
Another disappointing result which left us on a knifedge in the relegation zone. There wasn't much in the game but we were up against it after being reduced to ten men following the sending off of Erik Pedersen after just 27 minutes. If anything we had the better of the match after being reduced to ten men. But it was Saints who struck the vital first goal, Jenkinson volleying home from the left. In the final minute O'Boyle made if two when he netted after Roddy Grant's shot rebounded off the inside of the post.
