Saints Make Fruitful 351-Mile Round Trip

St Ives Town made their 351-mile midweek round trip to Frome Town well worthwhile by gaining a 1-0 win at the SpecialEffect Stadium to move eighteen points clear of bottom-markers Gosport Borough in the Evo-Stik League South Premier on Wednesday night.

What proved to be the only goal of the game came after just 7 minutes when Ben Withey brought down Attacker Tom Knowles on the break.

A penalty was awarded and was converted low to the right by Ogbonna.
