Kingsbury London Tigers 2 - Saints 3 (Spartan Premier Division) 

Kingsbury London Tigers provided a stern test to Saints' title aspirations on Saturday but could not prevent Danny Edwards' side notching up their ninth straight win as goals from Adam Louth, Danny Hughes and Charlie Strutton secured the points for the league leaders. 

Saints made an untidy start to the afternoon but a golden spell of play, inspired by Louth on the left flank saw Louth himself open the scoring after half an hour. Tigers quickly equalised after some hesitation at the back but a superb cross from Louth saw a close range interplay between Stack and Hughes which allowed the latter restore the Saints lead. A close range header by Strutton extended the lead. Barry Brosnan deserved some reward for his hard work but turned down one excellent chance and another effort was cleared off the line. Saints went into the break looking comfortable for their 3-1 lead.

 The second half was such a disappointment as the balance of play swung to the home side and doubts started to creep into Saints play. Eventually the price was paid and Tigers scored a second goal, the first time Saints have conceded two goals since mid-November. Saints held on during this rocky period and by the end of the game were comfortably holding on to their lead.

Fellow title-challengers Aylesbury and Colney Heath both suffered surprise 1-4 defeats on Saturday to drop back slightly. Tring Athletic enjoyed a convincing 6-0 defeat over a porous Langford team who have leaked more goals than any other side, to maintain second position.

The latest league table can be found under Team News. 

Saints travel to fellow title-challengers Aylesbury on Tuesday.
