No Saints 4-3 Posh


No Saints got revenge on Posh last night in an epic performance that saw a fight to death result in a 4-3 success.

Posh were the ones who cost us the League Two championship a few seasons ago but in our first meeting since then we edged them out in a typically close manner. New boy Lee joined the squad following Dave’s injury at the weekend as he broke his wrist in a tournament but Abib and Jamie were missing.

No Saints got off to a flyer with a fine goal from Phil before the game went back and fourth for us to lead 2-1 and 3-2. A seventh of the season for Will helped us to a 4-2 lead but then Lee was handed a blue card, meaning that he had to sit out in the sin bin for five minutes. Five long, long minutes later and the four men had conceded a goal as Posh took advantage to make it 4-3.

But a gutsy last five minutes from No Saints gave us only our second win of the season and lifts us closer to Posh who are in third place. Next up is Kashima Antlers who got their first win of the season last night as we look to push on even further.
