Longford finished with two wins to snatch fifth place in the table with this deserved win at Richmond Park. Robbie Doyle shot wide for Saints before Town enjoyed a good spell to take their lead on 35 minutes. Danny O’Connor hit the Saints' bar on the half hour.
But it was a mere reprieve as Andy Myler latched onto Steven Gough’s long ball to lob Brendan Clarke.
Sean Dillon doubled Town’s lead on the stroke of half-time when poking home.
O’Connor added the third on the hour before Saints’ Sean O’Connor got their consolation goal four minutes from the end.
