Clements proud of St Neots Town’s performance

Saints gave an excellent account of themselves when being pipped by a solitary goal at Southern League Premier Division title favourites Hereford in midweek.

And it was again a similar story for much of a 2-1 reverse at play-off chasers Slough yesterday which featured the quickest goal to be scored against Saints at this level.

Goalkeeper Finlay Iron was picking the ball out of his net after just 25 seconds after being beaten by recent Slough signing Perry Coles and they were fortunate not to fall further behind when Chris Flood crashed a 12th minute volley against a post.

Clements admitted: “Apart from a slow start and a shaky opening 15 to 20 minutes, we showed what we’re about.

“Getting the goal back before half-time gave us the platform to dominate the second half and it’s just a shame we couldn’t take one of the chances we created to get a draw.

“We’ve had a run of five games in which we’ve faced some of the best teams in the league. We’ve managed to beat two of them and take the other three to the wire.

“The lads know I back them and I’m sure they will finish the season strongly.”
