Back to League Business

With a second cup final appearance of the season safely secured in mid-week, Saints resume their title challenge this weekend with yet another league double header.




Today Saints are bask on their travels with a tricky away fixture at Glasgow Green against Finnart. Finnart may be 3rd from bottom of the SAFL Premier Division with only 15 points to show from their 15 games played but their home form is decent and only Aikenhead Thistle and St. Joseph's have managed  to secure victories there so far this season. Saints will be hoping for a repeat of their 4 - 1 victory in the reverse fixture on 3rd November where goals from Ross Maitland, Donald Campbell, Alex Craik and Willie Gemmell secured all three points.

On Sunday Saints are at home to Rolls Royce EK and will be desperate to atone for the two points dropped againt their oponents at East Kilbride on the 20th of April. Saints had been leading 2 - 0 at half time with goals from Donald Campbell and Dene Cassells and should have won the match comfortably but a disasterous second half collapse which Saints Manager Iain Jackson described as "totally unacceptable" allowed Rolls Royce to snatch a share of the points.

Saints remain firmly in the title hunt with Postal United and Aikenhead Thistle. Postal have no fixture this weekend while Aikenhead are away today at Inverclyde. Saints know that maximum points from their remaining 7 fixtures will secure the league title. It's a tall order but with luck on their side hopefully achievable.
