Saints Co Manager; Gary Tharme spoke to the website this evening regarding his sides 3-1 win over Brampton this evening.

"Really pleased with the result in the end. We had a big squad again and we had some new players tonight that havent played before. The team took a while to get going and we conceded early but we kept at it and managed to get ourselves back in the game. Two great goals from Nick Cade, set up by Under 18's midfielder; Max Roberts and the other was from a returning saints player; Andy Grey. The third goal came from Nick Whately and it was from yetr another ex St Ives player in James Clark so it is really encouraging and it looks promising. We keep our heart and an unbeaten run in pre season. I thought Niall was outstanding tonight and he deserves the man of the match vote as he made some vital saves for us at vital times. Also, it was great to see Harry Williams in goal also this evening as he did a great job for us too" Gary added "There were a lot of positives to take out of the game and we had some lads playing slightly out of position too which wont happen once the season gets underway but Ricky and I are pleased with how things are going and we are looking forward to the start of the season"

Mildenhall Town 0 St Ives Town 0

MoM : Jason King (St Ives Town)

This afternoon saw the unbeaten Saints travel into Suffolk to face Ridgeons Premier Division side; Mildenhall Town and with the honours shared the Saints would see themselves as unlucky not to have won the game.

With new loan signing, from Rushden & Diamondsl; Morgan Phillips and ever present Dan Newman marshalling the back four the Saints looked comforatble against the lively Hall's front line. Up hill in the first period chances went begging for the Saints with Lee Ellison and Scott Fielding coming close. The Saints lined up with a familiar face in the back four and with the attacking presence of Jason King at right back he earned his Man of the Match award and came close himself with a good chance to score.

In the second period, and with many Saints substitutions, both Conor Washington and Carl Foreman looked dangerous out wide with Ellison and Ricky Dear pulling the strings in midfield.

The game finished all square and whilst the scoreline looked dull both sets of fans were entertained to a good free flowing game of football at The Halls.

St Ives now face Zameretto (Step 4) opponents; Soham Town Rangers at Westwood Road on Tuesday evening. Kick off time is 7.45pm.
