It was only the third time that Saints have failed to register a goal as Brimscombe & Thrupp took advantage to go top. But Saints go into Wednesday’s clash with Windsor looking to regain top spot.

James Watts headed off the line for Saints in a first half dominated by Flackwell Heath.

After the restart, Saints went close through Ryan Knight and Olly Goddard saw his header saved by the keeper. In a frantic ending, Knight was denied by the keeper and also shot wide while a great cross from Watts went begging in the six-yard box.
