It’s the closest any team has come to knocking over the undefeated side this year.

Pat’s watched a 14-10 half-time lead quickly slip away over a horror 15-minute stretch, but rallied well in the late stages to make it a thrilling finish.

Saints coach Kurt Hancock said his team were focused for the majority of the match, and saw the signs of that in the lead up.

”We didn’t even talk about thew scoreline, not even at half-time,” he said.

“If we can tidy up our second half then the game is really close. Their experience probably shone through a bit after half-time. We need to be better than that.

“After two training sessions this week the attitude and the confidence is back again.

“That’s a positive. They’re a very good football team, and undefeated for a reason, but we’ve got something there that we can try and build upon for the rest of the season.”
