The defeat came on the back of last Tuesday's 1-1 draw at Blackstones, and Saints joint manager Jez Hall said: "We're not overly down as we know that we put in a fantastic performance against a very, very good side. There are three or four big-spending teams in this league and for us to be competing so well with them is a fine tribute to the quality in our side."
Town welcome Cogenhoe United to Westwood Road on Saturday while struggling Stotfold are Tuesday's visitors.
Meanwhile, Saints reserves enjoyed a 2-1 win against local rivals Eynesbury thanks to two goals from Chris Ewles and Stuart Chalmers' man of the match display.
