Saints Team - Julian, Dunn, Cleeves (Hampton), Stockley, Dunphy, Barnard, Osborne, Housego, Kerrigan, Mills, Silva (Danneau)
Unused Sub(s) - Lemon, Jenkin
Manager Ian Jenkin went into Saturdays table topping clash with a strong squad, with just the long term absentee Jon Bishop in the crowd, Ash Phillips AWOL and new signing Steve Clark injured from training.
Jan Cleeves made his long awaited return to Saints action with a very strong performance and his "Delap" like throws caused constant trouble to the Tregony defense.
The first half was end to end with the Saints perhaps just shading it. But the odds were firmly stacked in the Saints favour when a player, rumoured to be linked to the Saints, hacked out at Russell Housego... Justin Trebilcock was then sent off.
The second half kicked off and after superb work down the flank, Housego directed a curling header onto the post, only for Nick Mills to score from a tight angle. The Saints team exploded! 1-0!!!
No-one can forget Andy Kerrigans amazing goal from the Padstow away game earlier in the season. This is a man who pulls out the glory in spectacular fashion, in the big games, and in front of his little lad, i might add...and he did it again, when his spectacular cross-cum-lob found the back of the net. 2-0!!!!!!
Much was made in the papers about the Saints giving away too many penalties, and having only conceded a handful of goals from open play...and Saints Captain Stockley was once again the offender when he brought down a Tregony forward in the Saints box... Penalty. 2-1.
Tregony continued the enslaught, but the Saints held fire.
Saints win a vital 3 points. 2-1.
Man of the Match - Nick Mills.
Honourable Mention - Jan Cleeves, Andy Julian & Spoonfoot Dunphy.
