Claus returns as Saints win in Norway

Thursday, July 19, 2007

Saints made it three pre-season wins from three with a 4-1 victory over Kivk Halden in Norway.

George Burley's men scored all four of their goals in the first half with Gregory Vignal, Grzegorz Rasiak, Marek Saganowski and Adam Hammill - his fifth in three games - completing the Saints scoring.

Burley again used the game to give his whole squad a runout but the match died a little in the second half, Kjetil Andreasson pulling one back for Halden.

The game did however see the return of Claus Lundekvam who was injured before the play-off semi-finals and he got 20 minutes of action along with Kenwyne Jones.

Saints: Poke, Ostlund (Makin 45), Vasko (Lundekvam 70), Powell (Pele 45), Vignal (McGoldrick 45), Hammill (Dyer 45), Wright (Licka 60), Surman (Lallana 60), Skacel (James 63), Rasiak (Wright-Phillips 45), Saganowski (Jones 70).

Goals - Saints: Vignal 5, Saganowski 27, Rasiak 28, Hammill 33.
