Trinity come up short at play-off chasers Brackley

But Saints boss Jon Brady could not have asked for more - Stefan Moore that is - as his side maintained their unbeaten home record in Saturday’s Skrill North clash at St James Park.

Moore proved an instant hit, the former Leamington striker bagging a brace on his debut little more than a week after scoring twice to sink stuttering Saints in the New Year’s Day derby.

He picked up from where he left off against Trinity and forged an partnership with strike partner Ben Mills and could have added to his tally.

Trinity, on the other hand, were not the same free-scoring side which put five past Altrincham in midweek.

Defensively they were too slow to deal with Moore’s pace and could not find a way through the Saints’ defence other than Darren Stamp’s 67th minute header from from Jonathan Williams’ looping free-kick after the two substitutes combined well.

The goal gave Trinity a lifeline after they had gone in at the break trailing 2-0 to Moore’s eighth minute opener from a well-worked counter attack and a 27th minute penalty from Mills after Glenn Walker was brought down in the area.
