UCL Premier Division
St Ives Town 1 Raunds Town 2
SANDWICHED between excellent 1-0 wins at Yaxley and St Neots, Saints produced a disappointing performance against Raunds.
With progress made in three cup competitions, St Ives have been inundated with fixtures. After a cup win at Yaxley on Thursday, this game proved a match too far.
Joint-manager Jez Hall said: "We were missing quite a few players and we really were down to the bare bones."
Liam Kennett gave Saints the lead but two goals from visitors Raunds left the home side without a win going into the Easter Monday game with St Neots.
