Angel weren't to be denied the win though and the points were secured when Benny Davis arrowed a strike past the Roscoes keeper from the edge of the box.

Shaun Dolan and Davis were named as Angel's star men, while Matty Rowley donned the gloves while carrying a knock for Bar and stood out alongside Andrew Rowley, playing his first game in four years.

Beasley was Saints' star man, while left-back Kyle Ireland shone for Cayton.
