The first half was a ding dong battle with it finishing level 0-8 apiece. Danesfort began the second half the brighter opening up a seven point margin before St Martins had whittled the deficit down to two points.
A young Saints side then made a couple of mistakes whilst chasing the game which ultimately proved costly.
