- Saints makes it 6 wins in a row and proceed to the Quarter Finals of the League Cup with a narrow victory over the Steelmen.
- The margin of victory should have been much greater again, however the team fairly comfortably negotiated the tie with another strong home performance.
- Caolan Boyd-Munce scores his first goal for the club with a powerful 25 yard shot ripping high into the net after only 9 minutes to settle the match.
- Impressive displays from every player on the park shows the confidence surging through the side as they hit best winning run since October/November 2005.
