Saints rooted at bottom

Saints Football Club remain rooted at the bottom of the Northern Areas Football Association premier league after a goalless draw against Stardrift.
This latest stalemate sees the Gelvandale outfit winless in nine games.
From the 12 matches played so far this season, they have only managed one win, along with two draws and nine losses.
However, they will be hoping for a change of fortune this week with a double header on the cards where they will be looking to pick up maximum points.
Having scored only eight goals, while conceding 23, they will have an uphill battle to try and save their season and, importantly, stay in the premier league.
Meanwhile, at the top end of the table, Park United moved into prime position to occupy the top spot on the log after a swashbuckling 5-1 win over West Lake on Sunday.
United moved into pole position, level on points with second-placed Hotspurs, who played out a goalless draw at Shamrocks.
Head coach Angelo Vos said he was excited about the football the team was playing, but warned his players against complacency, saying they would still be taking it game by game.
“I am very proud of the way we played,” he said.
“We have been unbeaten in the last six games but what made me most proud was the way our youngsters performed.
“I think they are starting to buy into our system now, they have been training well, and our more experienced players are still there to help them if needed.
“They have certainly exceeded our expectations as coaching staff.
“We just want them to keep it up and take each game as it comes.”A resurgent Wolves outfit reaffirmed their fight to defend their crown as they overcame a spirited Glenville side by 4-1.
The win sees Wolves in third place on 20 points.
Fourth-placed Fairview Rovers drew 2-2 with Helenvale United, while fifth-placed Blackpool played out a 1-1 draw against Bloom Callies, as both clubs look to keep up the pressure on the top three.
The results were:
Shamrocks 0 Hotspurs 0, Glenville 1 Wolves 4, Park United 5 West Lake 1, Ramblers v Rangers (postponed), Saints 0 Stardrift 0, Blackpool 1 Bloom Callies 1, Celtic 0 Fairdene 4, Fairview Rovers 2 Helenvale 2.
