Oh sweet revenge

After the last fixture bringing together Saints and the jags, it was the Perth team looking for revenge after a thumping defeat with a sore scoreline noted at 4-0.

With windy conditions affecting one game in the 1st division saints had to play with experience and skill in order to fight of 12 mand thistle and the wind combined.

Before Kick off, every one in the stadium took a respected 1 minutes silence for the sad loss of a saint legend - Charlie McFadyen. Charlie was a well respected player and person earning a record 336 appearances.

 

After recovering from an illness, Gavin Swankie took back his role in Midfield ahead of Alan Morgan who played last week in Livingston. Thislte could have opened the scoring when Buchanan shot wide of Alan Mains goal after a disagreement he had with the wind but luckilly Rutkiewicz was on hand to clear any danger and release the ball upfield.

The scoring began for saints when a Martin Hardie free kick came in the box and landed to McCaffrey to make a good turn and volley the ball home. It ended just one goal up at halft time but could have easilly doubled the advantage had Sheerin made a spot kick count after Liam Craig was brought down.

But moments later it was Craigs turn to take a chance at a second awarded penalty and made no mistake getting the ball into the net. The third goal came from Stevie Milne who was yet again provided a great ball from Derek Holmes and Milne took the ball with a sweet drive past Tuffey.
