No Saints pulled off a magnificent win last night as goals from Dave and Abib helped us to our first proper win of 2008. Our only victories so far this year have been through default as teams didn’t turn up but last night we did it ourselves!
Nathan returned to the starting line-up after returning from chef duties in Austria while Abib returned after a couple of weeks out. Andy and Phil were both missing but we started with a seven man squad.
After Abib put us in front, Red Stripe pulled one back but two good finishes from Dave and another from Abib put us 4-1 up at half time. Once again we tired in the second half and fell to two more goals with seven minutes to play. It took every ounce of energy we had to fight for the win and an onslaught for the last five minutes got the nerves going.
But we held out for a great win despite some aggressive play from Red Stripe and the victory takes us to within two points of third bottom Giggedy Wumba with three games to play. The great escape could well be on yet.
Oh, and Abib did a flick that he’ll be reminding us of for years to come!
