Match Report

TTA report

The loss of Marr early on to injury (kicked by Doyle!, 61) had little impact apart from a torrid last 15 mins. Park hit the bar (11) but it was even until Gibson shot home (31) then a McAdam header (41) made it 2-0. Hard-working Saints pulled one back (74) but it was comfortable. Park and Melrose were prominent. Up to 4th.
