THE SADDLERS' reserve team ran out worthy 1-0 winners against Wigan Athletic.The deciding goal came just past the hour-mark from Danny Griffiths who linked up well with Troy Hewitt.

"Our youngsters matched them and broke up their attacks well. I particularly thought that we communicated with each other well and it was an impressive team display which was rounded off with a well-worked goal to win it.
"The were good performances all over the park. Liam Roberts came in for his first game for five months and made some good saves; he will be delighted to have kept a clean sheet.

"As I say, there were plenty of positives to come out of the game, so I am very pleased."
