The Saints’ half time lead was wiped out immediately as Whitwell scored straight from the restart.
Both sides had chances before Rayner restored Saints’ lead from the penalty spot.

Goalkeeper Barnes thought he’d clawed out a goalbound effort only for the officials to rule that it had crossed the line.

St Peter’s: Barnes; Cox, Gauthier (Mardle), Wiltshire; Rayner, Jordan, Beswick, Frost; Rees, Savory (Moss), Bailey. Sub not used: C Eames.
