The Saints also slipped back into the bottom half of the standings after going down 3-0 in Bedfordshire against a side featuring their former goalkeeper Paul Bastock. The veteran shot-stopper was relatively untroubled as St Neots went down with a whimper after falling behind midway through the opening half. Two goals in the space of three second-half minutes then sealed their fate before Bastock denied top-scorer Tom Meechan a late consolation by keeping out a fiercely-hit volley. St Neots host Welsh side Merthyr at the Premier Plus Stadium this Saturday.
