Two wins from pre-season double-header for Saints
5:30pm Saturday 12th July 2008
SAINTS made it three pre-season wins from three with two victories against non-league opposition this afternoon.
Head coach Jan Poortvliet split his pool of players in half and sent one team to Basingstoke Town and the second to Winchester City.
And both secured comfortable victories, following on from the 4-0 win at Farnborough in Saints' pre-season opener on Tuesday night.
David McGoldrick inspired a Saints XI to a 5-2 victory at Basingstoke with a hat-trick.
Adam Lallana and Bradley Wright-Phillips also found the net.
While in the second game Michael Svensson made his long-awaited return to action in a Saints shirt after almost three years out.
The popular Swede came through 45 minutes unscathed as as Saints ran out 5-0 winners at Winchester.
Stern John, Oscar Gobern, Jason Euell (pen), Joseph Mills and Jamie White scored for Saints at The Denplan City Ground.
